Fargo S4 was not as good as the previous three seasons. However - it was still much better than most other shows on TV and at times had some incredible moments with some profound insight into the human condition. The idea of Goldilocks and how that story links to human nature and race was very interesting: When we think someone sleeps in our bed, or sits in our chair, we unleash the bear inside of us. The woman who plays the serial killer nurse steals the show and I wish she had more screen time.

Really no other way this season could've ended. Personally, I thought it was a great season and the tie in to season two was a nice touch.

I am giving it a 6 only cause for me the finale ruined it, it is so weak. But don't get it wrong the first 10 episodes which can be slow are really good and gripping. But again final episode was slow boring, and just a cop out.

This season was a slow burn that never really reached the gravitas it's trying to portray. I love season one and two. Enjoyed a lot of season 3. Season 4 was just reaching too hard and never made a connection with me. I want more Fargo, but not if it keeps going in this direction.

If one is used to a nicely wrapped up, happy ending, look elsewhere. First of all, it's the Coens. Secondly, the war rages on, and almost all the soldiers are dead. But the war goes on. When the ninth episode ended, there was talk of some sort of mutual resolution. Unfortunately, like the young girl says at the conclusion, this is America and this is her report. The scenes in this final offering are stunning and incredibly brutal. It's about territory and dominance. Just like much of it is today. It's an uncomfortable thing to watch, but masterfully conceived and executed.

Maybe it was simply the acting? Writing? Directing? But these characters were portrayed way too modern. Like last week's sit-com, drama, what have you. Fargo throughout paid pretty close attention to period details. Chris Rock, absent his ridiculous hair wasn't at all close. He sounded at times like his stand-up. His voice. Jason Schwartzman? Not even close. He must have practiced his lines watching the other Jason on Seinfeld. Enjoyed series nevertheless.

I can't understand the reviews for this season. The crowd is clearly split by fans who understood what happened versus those who didn't. Major tie-ins to Season 2 that bring the Kansas City story to life. So what if it doesn't take place in Fargo? The show is not about being in Fargo, it's about the chaos that derives from it. Season 1 - Billy Bob storms in from Fargo and initiates the plot. Season 2 - Fargo family mob causes the chaos because they won't side with Kansas City. Season 3 - Two Fargo brothers can't come to terms with each other, chaos ensues. Season 4 - Oraetta from Fargo initiates the entire family war, the whole debacle, and gets hers as the story comes full circle. Again, the show does not need to take place in Fargo in order for it to BE Fargo. Have an open mind here fans! Hawley and Co. knocked the storytelling and interwoven mythology so far out of the park that the ball can't even be seen anymore. Mike Milligan tie-in? WOW. Why did Satchel change his name? Because he mirrored it after the last name of the Italian mobster who got him out and saved him (check the credits). But what I haven't seen any comments on here about is Joe Bulo. Remember Brad Garrett's Kansas City character from Season 2? Rewatch this episode and catch an epic glimpse of him when New York sticks it to Roy in the final sit down (the man standing by the door when Roy walks out, I nearly jumped out of my seat when I pointed to the TV screen and yelled "that's him!." This season further brightens the magic behind season 2, while diving headfirst into the history of American crime. Series ranking in order: 4, 2, 1, 3. No offense to 3, which I very much enjoyed, but 4 turned the whole franchise into a full length feature film without requiring the purchase of a box office ticket. You're a genius, Noah. You really and truly are.

This had the quirky style of the previous Fargo sagas, but none of the charm. We found it to be murky and unsatisfying. Loved the previous ones.

Not being American, I find it fascinating that whenever POC are depicted in a cult TV series, people go berserk, look for everything wrong with it, the cast, the acting, the story, the setting, the food catering for the actors, the lighting etc...ON THE FIRST EPISODE! Looking a certain way suddenly becomes a political debate. People...relax. It's just a TV show....

I didn't come in expecting much of this Fargo season 4. I loved the first 3 seasons but I kept thinking eventually, there's going to be a season that's lackluster. You can't please everyone all the time.

It had to be this one. Mainly because casting a stand-up comedian in the role of a mobster/godfather isn't credible. The whole time I keep thinking "It's Chris Rock!" Other than hat I thought it was an okay season, could've been better.

The cast, Rock aside, is interesting. Some interesting characters: the nurse, the crooked cop, the mormon played by Timothy Oliphant of Deadwood fame.

This season may have ruffled some feathers for reasons that escape me but the bizarre scenes and humour makes it a signature Fargo season. IT's FARGO alright.

Simply one of the best shows in TV History, this ending surpasses the other ones by far!! The way the war raged up is simply brutal and bloody, didn't expect that much violence from Fargo!! I loved it!!

What a fitting end to such a masterful season 4! You got to hand it to them but this was hands down a great ending to a season that did not have such a good intro but overall it pulled through to shine as a great season 4 as a whole! Cannot wait what they do next with Fargo. I highly recommend this series to anyone!

Like the other 3 Seasons of Fargo, I loved this one! I like that each season is a new story with different characters and of course a new cast. This season in particular I thought that the actors were as close to perfect for their roles as one could expect. Special mention to Chris Rock (in a dramatic role??), Emyri Crutchfield, Jason Schwartzman and Jessie Buckley. Timothy Olyphant's was outstanding too and I could go on. I wasn't thrilled with the ending but figured I'm not supposed to be - I was however satisfied. I sure hope there's a Season 5.
