Please ignore the people complaining about this show having an "agenda." The show takes place in 1950 and you are surprised it depicts racism? GTFO. This is my first review for this season, and I'll admit, it didn't start with the same caliber as earlier seasons. But, this is a completely different setting, how could that be a bad thing? I think my only "complaint" would be some of the casting could have been better. I'm ranting, back to this episode.

The snow is building up, which means so is the intensity. Jessie Buckley is currently the standout performance as nurse Oraetta and I'm always excited to see more of her. Plus, what's Fargo without the trademark accent? The mafia storyline is also starting to cook up big time. The double crosses are in full flow and nobody knows who to trust. It totally has that Miller's Crossing feeling, especially with the clear nod last episode.. "What's the Rumpus?"

The two breakouts are growing on me, and the scene where they get Gaetano (fake Jon Polito) was pretty darn good. The sequence with Satchel was also FANTASTIC! It also couldn't be more obvious that he is Mike Milligan from season 2, but I still can't wait for them to confirm it. Speaking of season 2, Joe Bulo* is back! Although technically it's the first time we see him chronologically. With Kellerman* also appearing a couple episodes ago, (same actor from season 2, I might add) the connections are stronger than any other 2 seasons. I'm starting to fall in love with this season, especially with the countless Coen brothers references.. too many to list! If you think this season is bad, I feel bad for you!

*Joe Bulo is Mike Milligan's boss from season 2, different actor. "Joe Bulo says hi..."

*Kellerman was the guy from Season 2 that young Dodd killed in the flashback. (Same actor as well.)

Satchel is Mike Milligan (Bokeem Woodbine) from Season 2. He takes Rabbi's last name.

After last week this was a letdown. Not a terrible episode but felt more like a bridge for things to come. My biggest gripe would be that it is extremely predictable. Every "movie magic" situation applies. Gaetano gets shot in the head and you think, "oh, s**t!" but turns out he's not dead, just somehow knocked out...? Oreatta finally gets "caught" but she easily talks her way out of it. Ends with the whole, "person is going to die but gets saved at the last minute" scenario. Far to obvious and honestly lazy writing. Look forward to see where this season goes but I'm losing faith it will end well.

Holding my breath as the show never seizes to amaze me! What a spectacular and gripping tale of so many moving parts until they collide!! I love how the original theme music returns with all its majestic glory!!!! Can't wait for the next one!!

The Irish guy leaves the house to meet his boss. The Italian with the kid leave a minute later. Irish guy goes to the boss, speaks with him, returns to the house, speaks with the wife, who tells him where the kid will be and somehow catches up. The whole season has been a seminar of lazy writing but this specific scene was the worst. But then again we have 5 more episodes to go.....

It was decent enough for me to not turn it off, but that's about it. I didn't care for the writer's stealing the shower curtain scene from the original movie. I thought that was just a lack of creative writing and more like plagiarism. I don't even think plastic shower curtains were a thing in 1950. I don't think the writers bothered to look at when they were first patented. And for the record.... if this took place in 1950 and the names were changed to protect the living... how many could even still be alive from this season? Ethelrida, and the two gang leader's kids? Everyone else would be close to 100 years old. Sheesh, use your heads writers. Even using the corny "True Story" opening theme got old after the first season. And for the record, wouldn't you eat your belt before you ate your shoes?
