Recently while i was searching for another series to watch and in particularly crime-related, i discovered Fargo. Fargo is a series that's a bit old, dating back to 2014 with the last season airing in 2020. Because i tend to be easily hooked i watch 4 seasons in 3-4 days, don't judge me!
So as i said the first season of Fargo came out in 2014 and has 10 episodes that are 52 minutes each. Fargo is a crime drama that is supposed to be based on real events, even though many claim that's not the case.
Also, you need to know that each season has a different story to tell but all these stories are somehow tied together. Also, all of the stories take place in nearby towns/cities and some are even prequels of other seasons which is amazing.
The plot takes place in Minnesota in where a hitman named Lorne Malvo gets in an accident with a deer and his car falls sideways of the road. Immediately a naked guy gets out of the car and runs into the forest while outside it's freezing cold. The next day police find him dead.
At the same time, we are introduced to another character whose name is Lester Nygaard and he is an insurance salesman. Lester is the type of guy that hates his life because his life is endless bullying. He was a bullying victim since school and even now his wife does the same to him and apparently doesn't love him at all, so his life is miserable.
To add to that while Lester walking down the street he sees his high school bully which is a tall fat guy that now owns a truck company. He also has to dump kids and in front of those kids he once again bullys Lester and that leads to a sudden move in which Lester hits his eye.
While in the local hospital he meets with Lorne Malvo the hitman from the start of the show which is a pretty weird guy and tells him to stand up. During the conversation, these 2 had Lorne is offering to kill the bully with a simple yes or not from Lester. Lester doesn't answer and that means Yes for Lorne. After that everything is falling apart and the craziness comes out!
I honestly don't have anything bad to say about that season. Each character is unique and weird at the same time. All possibilities come into play and it's really amazing how the events turn. There also 2 extra hitmen that are hired at one point and honestly those are amazing as well.
These 2 hitmen are a pair and one of them is deaf and they communicate through sign language. The deaf character is so amazing that you will see him in another season. Also, for some reason, i really like all the bad guys on each season. Malvo is a guy that not only does his job perfectly he also enjoys doing so as well as enjoys chaos.
There are so unique and while i have seen so many series and movies, i haven't seen anything like that. And those bad guys need to somehow get busted so as you can imagine there are police officers that are trying to achieve that but trust me it's not that easy and there isn't always a happy ending meaning that life isn't fair and we should all know that.
