Fargo.s04e05
5/10
I've held out hope until now
This time none of it feels organic.
Chric Rock nope Jason Schwartzman nope WTF, seriously? Two comics? Two comics playacting as heavies is a skit, not a dramatic endeavor. Salvatore Esposito, who was very good in "Gomorrah", mugging like a cartoon villain, an Italian Snidely Whiplash. I swear when he first appeared I thought it was jack black in a fatter suit; Jack Huston's 'Acting 101' tics; the writing, with ponderous pauses with nothing but 'tone' behind them... There are moments and performances of note but the very high bar has not been met. Edit: Fargo S04E10 4/10 To start...chris rock...WTF? Casting two fkng comics in the leads and we were supposed to show acting class enthusiasm as they stretched their limitations? The directors studied and flailed with the 'Fargo' style but this series has been exceptionally stuck on the surface the entire time with no Coen inspiration until somebody tripped and fell. There have been some excellent sideline performances but the general, final answer, is that I have never been so disinterested one way or another in seeing the final episode of a season of Fargo.
