I don't get the hype. I am late to the party & just discovered Fargo. Given the praises + high ratings i thought it can't go wrong. Well not so really. I mean it's a case of suspension of disbelief in overdrive. Not that it isn't enjoyable, i mostly had a good time watching S01. I only wish they didn't use a deceptive/fake claim that it's based on a true story and 'events have been told exactly as they occurred' coz i went 'Do they simply take us for fools?' Yes! They certainly took ppl for a ride by testing their critical thinking, see if we would actually buy it and how far it could go until even gullible viewers would go 'gimme a break! no way this actually happened'. Once i realized it, i could indeed suspend disbelief and properly appreciate the show for what it is: a dark comedy. EDIT: Just finished S02 and it was good although the comedy element was no longer part of the formula. Just an entertaining crime series.
@Raf696 - Boycotting a movie IS a sanction. I am sorry for the Russian people, but we are not talking North Korea: There is access to news sources outside of Russia. They should have an idea that something is not right considering that Aeroflot just crash-landed one of their jets due to a parts supply problem. They can apply the pressure from within, if we continue to apply pressure from without. Sanctions work. Lithuania banned Russian gas imports. Poland did as well. Keep up teh good work.
[continued] So in my opinion, the only way to make a difference is thru the sanctions. Once the POPULATION will feel hunger, they'll look closer at what's really going on. Then, and only then, they will raise up against a dictatorship. Boycotting simple folks individually, will not have any effect, because those who are responsible for that invasion, simply Don't GIVE A F#CK! The world is lucky, that the level-headed Biden is the president and not Trump. At least he's trying to mend the communications routes with China. If it was Trump, well... the world might not exist anymore. Us, and China would destroy each other, and Putin would go all in against the rest of the Europe... GAME OVER!
@Nick Oh dude... I'm sorry, but hypocrisy of your words is overwhelming. It's easy to boycott a country if you are not dependent on them. What about china? For Tibet, and Taiwan ('cause it seems that china will most likely attack them.). Are you willing to boycott them? Walk to your kitchen and pick up ten objects, and I bet 8 of them will have a sticker "Made in China". Are you prepared to just toss them out and not buy anything Chinese? Your heart is in the right place, but you need to think what can actually be done. Russians are not guilty, they are victims of a propaganda. The only news they get is what they hear on state controlled media. They think, that Russia is on the right side of this conflict. Just as republicans who watch only "Fox News" think that Trump is a Messiah, and no matter what you tell them, or how many laws he has broken, they'll say that it's Democrats, who are spreading lies about him. So in my opinion, the only way to make a difference is thru the
