FX's Near-Perfect 11-Part Neo-Western Detective Series Is a Brilliant from Start to Finish

Even the worst season of a great show is still pretty good

The best thing about an anthology show is that, if one season or episode is bad, there's no reason not to skip it. After all, nobody can force you to watch True Detective season 2 or that one Black Mirror episode with Miley Cyrus in it. But sometimes, the most underrated entry in a beloved anthology deserves another chance, and that's the case with the most hated season of Noah Hawley's FX series, Fargo.

If you were to ask fans of the FX series Fargo to rank all five seasons of the show, nearly all of them would put season 4 at the bottom, and they wouldn’t be wrong. When compared to the other seasons of the series, there are fewer quirky Coen brothers-esque characters, making it less fun than the other seasons. Season 4 also moves a bit more slowly and, with the change in setting from Minnesota down to Kansas City, Missouri, the flavor of season 4 is also different, which is only exacerbated by the fact that it takes place in the early 1950s, far earlier than the other seasons.

But while season 4 of Fargo may be the most different season of the anthology series, it's still an excellent crime drama with some incredible performances that is heavily informed by one of the Coen brothers’ best movies. That’s why the 11-episode season is perfect for a good weekend binge. Fargo is based on the 1996 Coen brothers dark comedy crime drama of the same name where a small-town Minnesota cop investigates a series of gruesome crimes.
