Necrotongue

This time almost everything went wrong and the seventh episode turned into a showdown between two mafia families, revealing that both have their own internal problems that they must find solutions for. I had a great time also because I found out who Molly Solverson inherited her bulldog nature from in the first season.

The atmosphere remained great even in the sixth episode, the Gerhardt's journey to the city brought a special form of tension, where I couldn't tell if someone's nerves would snap and there would be one less character, or if everyone would keep their composure. Especially in the case of lawyer Karl, I understood the state of his pants. I finally realized why the creators sometimes refer to UFOs, because the Blumquists behaved like aliens during their interaction with the police.

No doubt, the fifth episode brought me exactly the Fargo I was looking forward to. The completely insane and brutal action really suits this series, and Reagan's campaign tour was just the icing on the cake. The atmosphere was great, the tension was nicely intensified by the creators, and the action was fantastic, thanks to how the brutality was complemented by pitch-black humor.

In the fourth episode, the atmosphere has greatly intensified, and although it wasn't exactly an action-packed episode, the pace slightly increased compared to the previous ones. True, there was mostly just debating, but this time the conversations, plans, and hidden threats managed to hold my interest, so I enjoyed it.

For me, the third episode was again a four-star one because the pace of the whole story remained too slow, the action practically did not happen again, and the only welcomed distraction was the conversation in front of the Gerhardt's headquarters and the farewell to Skip. I have to admit that I am a little disappointed, I had higher expectations after the first episode.

The pace of the second episode was significantly slower, and although the atmosphere from the first part remained, the action practically disappeared and the story is only refreshed by the presence of Mike Milligan and others, and the thorough cleaning performed by Ed Blumquist. After watching this part, I decided that I will only prepare ground meat myself to have a certainty about the ingredients used.

The first episode of the second season pleased me with a good dose of black humor, a promising story, the young dad Solverson, and most importantly, it seems that I will finally get an explanation for the Sioux Falls massacre that I have heard about many times before. The creators didn't hold back on the action this time, so I definitely evaluate the start of the series positively.

I enjoyed the eighth episode much better than the previous one, which bored me a lot, and I was considering giving it four stars. However, the romantic storyline prevailed, in which things that have already been discussed many times were rehashed, and just when I firmly decided to rate it with 3*+, the doctor's final rhetorical performance came and once again I ended up giving it four stars.

I rated the seventh episode with three stars, but it was close to being only two. The episode started quite well and for a moment, I thought I would have a good time. Then, the humor suddenly disappeared, there was a trip into the wilderness, and I alternated between being bored and being annoyed by the illogical behavior of the characters.

I enjoyed Strange Fruit’s European tour even the second time around. Watching those aging rockers attempting a comeback was fun most of the time, but I didn’t expect a guitar player of Brian’s stature to bring such discordant notes to the story. This is where the creators started pushing too hard, trying to pull at the viewers’ heartstrings instead of the guitar strings. As usual, I really loved Bill Nighy, but that was to be expected as I’m a longtime fan.
