The first 3-4 episodes are a solid 10. The amount of humour, malice, original Fargo, is off the charts. Billy Bob is out of this world. The best laugh I had in years.
And then it transitions to a moralising bore. And then, it continues in that direction, worse and worse. By the end of the first season I was just waiting for it to end, in order say "Fargo? Yeah, I have seen season one." and call it the day.
Granted, it would have been difficult to continue with the malice from the beginning. But the downfall was too abrupt. I cannot see myself investing time in another season. One without Billy Bob, which was responsible for 80% of the goodness in the first one.
No. Thanks.
7 stars because 10 for the first three episodes and then 4 for the rest, well, you do the math.
