Fargo used to be something special.... The character development was so rich. The characters were multifaceted and you loved and hated most of them. Just like most people there are things you admire and things you dislike. They main reason for tv is as an escape from the day to day frustrations. Then along comes season 5 where the villain is a caricature at best. A white, wife beating, Bible thumping, proud American "Christian" man. In the "useless hand" episode they even make sure to use an extremely thinly veiled reference to him being a nazi with his militia. This is sloppy character development at best. There's still plenty to love about the show. The heroine fits the bill of someone you admire and yet somewhat fear. The cop that she saves in the beginning is likable and someone to identify with. The female police officer is great but again her scumbag white husband leaves me irritated wondering what she could've ever seen in him. The FBI agents seem like a rip off of men in black. Again, poor character development rules the day. Do better Fargo writers or call it quits. Leave your political and racial beliefs at the door and get back to creating something worthy of this show. If you can't, I'm done.
