Agreed, really good. But I don't understand why Dorothy would hide in the grave and leave her rifle up on top.

Sam Spurell has been fantastic as has Juno Temple.

Actually excited for the new season of True Detective, season one was incredible hope they return to form on this one.

Yup, he's every bit as good as Billy Bob was in S1. This has been the best season since S1 too.

I've enjoyed all the seasons of Fargo a lot. I'd rank them

Season 1
Season 5
Season 2
Season 3
Season 4

Great casting throughout.

Billy Bob
Martin Freeman
Bob Edenkirk
Kirsten Dunst
Patrick Wilson
Jesse Plemons
Ted Danson
Ewan McGregor
Carrie Coon
Michael Stuhlbarg
Shea Whigham
Chris Rock
Jack Huston
Jon Hamm
Juno Temple
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Dave Foley

I hope there's a season 6 but it likely won't be for 2-3 years if there is

Never seen Fargo or the movie. Just couldn't get past the accents in the trailers. But I like Hamm and Lamorne Morris a lot. I'll check this latest season out.

Yup. Also, when the henchman went to the shed and she wasn't there why it took so long for them to do anything or look for her. Bit of a plot hole there in order to let her escape. First thing that guy would've or should've done is radio/call it to the others and then look around the room for her and where she might be hiding or went. But this is minor and they could've just had her be actually gone before he arrived and problem solved, but they wanted that scene of her hiding under when he came in. Also, there's snow every where so footprints to follow.

Still, its been very good season and at least in the top 3 of the seasons and I'd probably go #2. Though really all were perfectly good and worth watching.

Looking forward to finally watching S5 of Fargo. S4 didn't feel like a Fargo season in mood or quality. I like Rock and Schwartzman but they were miscasts imo.

I'd still watch them all. Yes they do play up the accent but its not a big deal imo and not as huge as the commercials make it out to be. Presuming they think thats good in the ads to get attention. Especially in later season its less and less, I think S1 had a lot more so if you do think thats too much I wouldn't let it stop you from going on. but in this season its not a big deal at all. 1-2 side characters with it

The nice thing is that the seasons are independent of each other.

I didn't know it was him straight off, his character is great.

I think when this season ends next week I'm going to rewatch the others. It's been 10 years (!) since season 1.

Spoiler:
I think she had to put it down to pull that lever and unlock the big tank thing so she could move it. I wonder if they shot an insert of her setting it down and cut it for time? I was wondering the same thing when she picked up that femur as a weapon. "Didn't she have a gun?"

Plus starting the windmill to mask the noise of sliding the tank was like "Hey, I'm over here!". But I just overlook those sort of things because overall, the show is so damn good.

I didn't really mind either to be honest. She was in a hurry, and still in her running away and hiding mindset so of course she could forget that. There was also a lot going on to prep for their last stand (with a literal "fog of war") so maybe she wasn't everyone's top priority.

Did you finish it? I'm through episode 5 and the time travel paradoxes are starting to warp my brain.

I did and I liked it. I thought they did a pretty good job landing the ship. Always tricky to get the time travel stuff right.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

For All Mankind sucked hard for the second season in a row. They don't even have the Stevens brothers to blame for this one.

Did you like Battlestar Galactica all the way through? I can't remember. The first season was so good (the first official episode is one of the best TV episodes ever), then the gradual decline. After the boxing match between Starbuck and Apollo I had to drag myself through the rest of it.

I liked all of it, and I'm one of the few whose gone back to the boxing episode a few times. Probably liked the earlier seasons more, but I got caught up in the Final Five stuff and I actually liked the finale. The Baltar trial was the low point for me.

Yeah, I'm struggling to finish this season. The longer the show goes, the more it loses track of what made the first two seasons so good - brilliant, flawed people exploring and pushing boundaries.

Spoiler:
The show is now down most of its best characters in Gordo, Tracy, Molly, and Karen, and the new cast has been largely unable to fill those shoes. I don't hate Margo's weird Russian adventure as much as most people do, but it's probably still a mistake to have her isolated from the rest of the cast. It also doesn't help that increasingly, a show about exploring space, seems to not care very much about exploring space.
