Since Fargo is ostensibly a remake, it has a slew of preconceived notions weighing it down from the beginning. But by episode 3, it’s established itself as something else entirely.

Fargo is allegedly going to change its city, cast of characters, and story each season, so we can never be sure who’s gonna die. (Indeed, the first episode kills off someone who seems like a main character, not unlike The Fall.) Tolman’s performance has been justifiably lauded, and the show is gradually developing its look and feel. Fargo is indicative of a new flavor of anthology television, and that’s something we can (and should) all get behind, especially if it means the continued swelling of prodigious talent and quality television.
