Fargo: S2E3 "The Myth of Sisyphus" Review - King Cadmium
9 March 2022
The Gerhardts' search for Rye intensifies; Lou takes a trip to Fargo; Peggy overhears a new theory about the Waffle Hut shooter.

What I Liked:

The cinematography is solid, and each scene perfectly implements its well-crafted and memorable music score. On top of that, each actor gives a strong performance.

Mike Milligan and the Kitchen brothers are intriguing characters, elevating each scene. One must wonder how they will fare in this sophomore season.

What I Disliked:

I am not a fan of several editing choices, particularly the usage of split screens and flashbacks, which appear superfluous at best.

Hank debriefing the case to Betsy in the salon was a highly contrived and hamfisted scene. Conveniently, they talk about all of this in front of Peggy, who then explains away Betsy's hit and run theory.

Overall:

Fargo maintains its high quality in what remains a strong sophomore season. One can surmise that things can only get better from here.

8/10
