"Fargo"

So, yes, it took me until season four to discover "Fargo".  What can I say?  Covid changes everything and my viewership is much wider now that I have lots of time on my hands.  (Lots. Of. Time.)  Can't say this one is in my wheelhouse but it is interesting.  An anthology series (each season utilizes a different cast to tell a different story) this particular season is set in Kansas City, 1950.  The story is one of competing gangland activities.  Through the voice of young Ethelrida Pearl Smutney we see the intersection storylines of this old yet new tale.  Paradox and satire abound.  Ethelrida is the child in this fable and is not privy to most of the goings-on, yet her voice provides perspective to it all.  There is inevitability -- The Irish mob does in the Jewish mob, only to be replaced by the Italian mob.  This season begins as the Black mob arrives in town ready to play.  Weirdness adds to the quirky feel of the place.  David Lynch would be proud, as both traffic lights and pie figure into various episodes.  Split screens give a fractured sense of time and a truly bizarre nurse touches everyone she meets ... not always in a good way.  It's strange, it's fun if you are in the right mood, it's just a little artsy and it is worth the weekly watch even if it actually doesn't take place in Fargo.  A good option for a late night or a glass of wine.  Don't try to understand it all, just sit back and take it in.
