Just watched the most recent episode. This show is...

This show really is awesome. I binge watched all 9 eps the past two days but I must have fallen asleep during some part cuz what happened to the super market king? Last I remember, his son and bodyguard were driving to the cabin, and the fish started falling. Then the dad has the epiphany about returning the money where he found it originally, does so, then goes to the cabin but comes across the the wreck and his dead son. Was that actually just random chance? And did Billy Bob just give up on the money?

This show is sometimes pure nonsense and that is why i love it. The elevator scene is pure shock but you have to realize this is dark comedy.

And it's way better than True Detective, at least with Fargo,i didn't give up watching it after 4 episodes lol

This show is good, but equal to True Detective? Fucking please.

Better in some ways, not as good in others. It's apples and oranges. Some people prefer apples.

holy fuck what a finale

the used car salesman was in the diner with his wife and lester passes them, he was also the guy lester was trying to sell life insurance to in episode 1

the glove story was weird but cool, can think of 2-3 ways to interpret that. love little shit like that

He should have dropped the other glove.

No complaints about the finale.

No big surprises or twists though...I thought there might be.

Well done indeed. the only thing I would have wanted to know is what happened to his brother did they let him out of jail how pissed was he etc etc maybe b/c i like to tie a neat little bow on it.

the bear trap was fucking great.

I would have preferred it if they hadn't emulated the ending of the movie for this series. But apart from that this was a pretty good show, Billy Bob carried the whole thing and I can't imagine it being any good without him.

I liked the whole glove thing because its a short philosophy idea/story that says more about the listener than anything else, like the old half/full glass question.

The only similarity I noticed was the stumbling across Mavlo's BMW at the cabin.

Anyway, great end to the series. Everyone got what they deserved.

Well, I guess the cabin at the end looked pretty similar, and bad guy(s) got kilt. In the movie though, the husband was arrested wasn't he? Or did he suicide?

Yeah, all in all, while the ending had shades of the movie, I'm not sure it emulated it. Did they leave an easter egg at the end like the bag of money that they can play off of to start next season?

It was basically a direct reinterpretation of the end of the film; Steve Buscemi (Billy Bob) suffers a horrific injury in a shootout and heads to the cabin, lone cop (mail man) finds the cabin and suspect by chance and arrests (executes) him, wife killer goes on the run and gets caught (drowns), lady cop congratulates hubby on his collection (citation of bravery) at home, the bad guys all lose and the sweet dedicated Minnesota police lady triumphs and goes about her day... don'tcha know.

In the end I just found it disappointing that Malvo left the scene and ran despite how great that bedroom scene was. Also Lester's end felt kind of strange though fittingly goofy and self inflicted I suppose. By the way, what happened to that poor used car salesman?
