The episode overall is very good except for a few details that bugged me but still it was like watching the old fargo being excited for every scene and breathtakingly scenes i guess

Best episode so far
strider-544539 November 2020
This was jam packed. What action. What suspense. They even bring back lines from Season 2 that avid show watchers enjoy. To this point, Mayflower, Canon & Otis have been the brightest stars and my goodness do they shine in this 1. Huston has been down right incredible. All the plot build up has this rocket ready to launch. The last 3 should be absolutely bonkers. Fantastic. Best show on TV.
What else do people want out of this show?

Nothing Short of Fantastic
CulvertonSmith12 November 2020
There's a lot to love in here, but the thing that stands out to me the most is the tension towards the end, which is absolutely incredible. The scenes with Swanee and Zelmare are great, I've always enjoyed their presence and I was glad to see more of them this week. There's also a very uniquely-presented action sequence in this one, which I found to be really engaging. This episode honestly does so much right and really stands out as a great one from this season of Fargo. The surprises, the suspense, the dialogue, the action, and genuinely the whole production was nothing short of stellar. This was easily the best episode of the season so far.
A Season of Incremental Build
QoS00713 November 2020
The stage was set in the beginning, we've been latched to the seats and sinking forward ever since, and this episode is further proof of the larger scope of Season 4 in all it's brilliance. Every scene in this particular episode flowed like a sweet mobster symphony, reminiscent of both 'dramepic' Miller's Crossing and Sopranos undertones. 10/10
Let Me See--Who's Left

So much happens in this episode, you need a program to keep track. There are the Italians doing their thing, with the combatting brothers. We have the nurse coming to a realization. But most of the real action has to do with our hero from Utah, finally confronting the two women who escaped. The big gunfight at the end lowers the cast and there is a final battle scene emerging in the next few episodes. It's all about respect and territory.
Potential shark-jumping episode

Warning: Spoilers
This episode wasn't really that bad until the end - but the ending was so bad, it could potentially be a series-ender.
First off, the shootout at the end was a total disaster. Apparently, the flamboyant, interracial lesbian couple that are wanted for murder and escape from prison (in 1950s Missouri) are not only invisible, but apparently bulletproof. They were able to lay waste to dozens of cops, who should have had the upper hand since they knew the pair was there, and a couple of dozen civilians for good measure, yet Deafy can be heard ordering them to them to drop their weapons, which for some reason, they do.
I guess Deafy didn't see any reason to you know, shoot the ladies that just wasted dozens of cops and dozens of civilians, and the ladies that just wasted dozens of cops and civilians apparently knew that Deafy meant business, or maybe they just felt that shooting a Federal Marshall was just a step too far.
Of course, the real reason they did that was so (if you didn't get the telegraph, memo, email, text, phone call, or tweet) Odis could kill Deafy. If they put up a pop-up on the screen that said "Warning! Odis is going to kill Deafy!", it could not have been much plainer.
And it's really unclear why Loy would take on the murder of a Federal Marshal in the middle of a gang war (in 1950s Missouri). Or why he would threaten him to his face, right after he folded and told him what he wanted anyway. The Marshall wanted to get his two fugitives and go home. Apparently Deafy insulted Loy. Something about his not being a real family man.
Then of course, we have the bulletproof Gaetano, chasing off a dozen men armed with rifles and shotguns, who had already killed every single one of his henchmen.
And Oraetta is going to kill somebody to tip the balance of this thing, which is why she keeps appearing in the show, though she is becoming less menacing as time goes on. She was interesting, but it seems like they've missed the opportunity to do something with her.
I'm looking forward to the show getting back on track next week, when a tornado saves Rabbi from Calamita.

The Tale That Keeps On Giving

Great Episode !
awrobel26 November 2020
This episode was insane, all the main character had their best moments this season. But Jessie Buckley as Oraetta Mayflower is a role for the ages, she should not be overlooked come award season. This season started off slow, but it has sure picked up the pace. At this point it's impossible to see where this is all leading.
"Pretty Unfriendly Actually"

Wow! What can I say that hasn't been said already about this amazing episode. It's my second favorite episode in the WHOLE show right behind "The Castle".
This episode serves as a shocking climax, while simultaneously setting up for another shocking climax.
Very great fight scenes, if you're not convinced about the greatness of this season so far, let this episode be the one that shows you.

Extremely underwhelming
rak-koon-n10 November 2020
This episode is not bad by any means. It's quite good and entertaining. The problem with fargo this season is that there isn't any development in the story. Every episode seems to end in an underwhelming fashion. It's like the writers ran out of ideas. This season has alot of premise that they failed to reach. It's only vibrant because the cast is honestly extraordinary in their performance.
A Few Observations....
WarrenPiecz9 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
...1) I find it telling that there are less and less user reviews on here as the season progresses.
2) I thought it was an interesting touch that in the early indoor scenes last night, you could see the breath of the characters, yet you could NOT see their breath in the outdoor scenes even though they were dressed for winter. However, since I live right there, I can tell you first-hand that last winter in Riverside, IL, there were many times when it was 70 degrees one day and 20 the next. Still, if it was "artfully intentional", nice touch!
3) I don't know if the Union Station scene was a homage to "Untouchables" or if the creative team was at a loss and said, "eh, let's just rip off the whole shootout scene from 'Untouchables'. We can make it different by killing all the innocent bystanders, nobody will notice it's the same stairway, same slow-motion, same echoes..."
4) I just realized last night that the non-Native-American actress playing the Native-American is the same non-Native-American actress who played a Native-American in "Yellowstone". I guess she's found her niche! Kudos to the costuming and make-up department!
5) Another possible anachronism: I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure "slow your roll" wasn't in popular usage in the 1950's.
