The second season of the Fargo TV show (in 2015!) fell even further in the ratings, yet it still managed to score a season three renewal. Will the numbers improve in season three or will they bottom out? Will Fargo be cancelled or renewed for season four on FX? Stay tuned.
An FX crime drama anthology series, the third season of Fargo stars Ewan McGregor (in a dual role), with Carrie Coon, Michael Stuhlbarg, David Thewlis, Goran Bogdan, Andy Yu, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Taking place in 2010, the story follows the sibling rivalry between Emmit (McGregor) the “Parking Lot King of Minnesota,” and his younger brother Ray Stussy (McGregor), a pot-bellied parole officer. Although Emmit sees himself as an American success story, Ray is more of a cautionary tale.

Good shows like Fargo always get cancelled early because there are are too many idiots that like “crap shows”. It’s the age of Trump I guess…people just love crap. Crappy movies, crappy music and crappy presidents.
It has nothing to do with Trump it has to do with the dumbing down of younger generations. They have created pop culture and fads that they have programmed the young people with. Everything has to resolve quickly, forget about following a lengthy story line. I had read the Hemingway,Taylor Caldwell and John Steinbeck books by the time I graduated high school. Today if you ask people 50 years old or younger about them they don’t even know who they are, so something like Fargo that isn’t filled with the latest fads or popular music has no appeal to them.… Read more »
best show on tv. I just watched season three for the third time and it better with each viewing. I feel bad for those who miss the best show on the tube.
Fargo & The Blacklist are the best most scintillating series since Deadwood. Neither TV nor the big screen have anything that compares to the intrigue of these series. I record and save episodes to rewatch portions that left confusion. Hopefully Fargo season 4 will return.
I agree what you said Fargo and The Blacklist two of the best shows
By the way, the villain was also in Wonder Woman also played the part of a villain unique actor he’s great!!
