Reply to comment by monocromatica in winter town dark drama/mysteries like Dexter New Blood and Fargo Season 1? by hegeliansynthesis

I did watch S02 shortly after S01. It seems we're going to have a difference of opinion on it. :)

It was definitely artistic and the strong writing was still somewhat there too but it largely fell flat for me. Hanzee was great and Peggy and even "the butcher" grew on me but in the end I just couldn't get over some things and it didn't inspire much of anything in me.

I'm hoping S03/S04 will be redeemers.

I agree S01 was far better than all of the following, but it was also the one closer to the original film, which is a great film from the Coen brothers. So, for me it was not very exciting. I've watched S03 and although the actors were great, the story just didn't grab me the same way. Hope you'll like it better (there are great critics about it).

I forgot there was an original film too. Maybe I was biased against S02 because I wanted to stay in S01 more.

Thank you again for your post.
