Highly recommended.
Chris Rock is an excellent comedian, but I never knew he had such acting chops.
So if you like a great story, glimpses of stupid criminal humor and to make fun of OCD People, this one is for you!

Yep, it really kicked into high gear at the 4th episode!

I'm watching it, but it doesn't have the same panache being in KC in the 50's as the stories in MN and ND. Seems like a story you could tell easily without being under the "Fargo" title, which, to me, means upper Midwest.

This is exactly my take on this season. It's great as a standalone but it just doesn't have the same vibe as the other seasons. I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep over it but I hope further seasons go back to the original template so to speak. Season one was just pure gold.

As a film and television editor, my rule of thumb is that I’d trust comedians to do drama, but it’s the rare dramatic actor who can do comedy. Comedians know two things; human emotion, and timing. Dramatic actors might get the emotion part right, but they will screw up the timing almost every time by trying to make things more funny the same way they make things more dramatic. Trying to edit that together is like getting moly grease on your hands - you only needed a little, but now that shit is smeared everywhere and ruining everything it touches.
