so I'll have to catch up and come back before I see any spoilers. I will say Jon Hamm has that menacing Libertarian sheriff character nailed, though, and Juno Temple is amazing as Dot. The whole cast is great, for that matter.

Hamm’s character needs to have a wake up call. And it looks like his son is about to “find sumpin out”.
Great series.

2. Yes. All Fargo seasons have been both quirky & frequently dark, but there is a creep-factor in this

one that I find it hard to shake. The actress that plays 'Dot' was on Ted Lasso and a bit OTT in that role. Here, multiply it 100X, but it works. Jon Hamm takes on the RW (MAGA-stereotypical) sheriff role quite easily, but it is jarring to see him in the "baddie" role. Jennifer Jason-Leigh was surprisingly perfectly cast as the mother-in-law corporate powerhouse wielding power like a club.

Still, every time I watch an episode... creepy.

Would love to discuss something about last night's episode but it might be a spoiler for those who haven't seen it yet.

This season has been excellent, in general. There were a couple of episodes that should have been cut down, but everything else has been great.

I thought the use of animation/puppets as a way of telling the background story was brilliant and moving.

after he played Bundy in The Deliberate Stranger. Hamm is that kind of scary this season.

after he played the leader of a bike gang in some made-for-tv movie. Eventually she was able to work her way back to AGS reruns on MeTV.

I think this has been the best Fargo so far. Insane acting, awesome story line, I absolutely love it. Only two episodes left.
