Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBilly Bob Thornton narrates using lines from Peter and the Wolf (1946), which was narrated by Sterling Holloway. Thornton's character in the first season of 'Fargo' was often associated with wolves.
- GoofsYuri Gurka claims Vladimir Putin grew up with a photo of "Berzhin" by his bed, saying, "Berzhin, who squats in 1920 dirt, gives birth of GRU, later KGB. Godfather." However, Leon Trotsky founded the GRU in 1918, and the GRU was not the predecessor of the KGB. They existed simultaneously with different areas of focus (similar to the CIA and FBI). The name "Berzhin" seems to be a combination of Yan Bergin, who was promoted to head of the GRU in 1920, and Felix Dzerzhinsky, founder of the Cheka, one of the preceding agencies of the KGB, and who is considered the "Godfather" of the KGB.
- Quotes
Winnie Lopez: I got about 100 pounds of TP crammed in there. Been cranky as a female dog since breakfast, and now I know why... We've been trying, me and Jerry, for months now. Yeah. Like those old Road Runner cartoons with the wolf and the sheep dog, how you punch a clock to go to work?... It's mostly missionary, if I'm being honest. We used to spice it up, but now it's about the shortest distance between two points... He'd pop faster from the back, if I'm being honest, but I think it's important to look each other in the eyes when it comes to making babies.

What I Liked:
The cinematography is solid, and each scene perfectly implements its well-crafted and memorable music score. On top of that, each actor gives a strong performance.
V. M. Varga is a terrific character, played wonderfully by David Thewlis, stealing every scene he appears. I can't wait to see how his plans unfold.
What I Disliked:
Yuri and Meemo are massively underutilized, given they appear to be interesting characters. I very much hope these two characters are given more screentime moving forward.
Overall:
Fargo is back on track with a high-quality episode. One can only surmise this season will continue to improve moving forward.
