This is what we're watching: Season 2 of 'Fargo' is one of the best TV shows ever

Here, provincial bandits meet UFOs.
In the new series Articles every week I talk about what films and TV shows struck me.
Let's talk about Fargo today. Its first season was well received by both viewers and critics. The result was not a passing remake, but a brilliant story based on the cult film the Coen brothers. But the second season was independent and, as for me, even more interesting.
An ordinary butcher and a beauty salon worker accidentally commit a murder. They hide the body and hope the police don't come after them. The problem is that the man who suffered from them was wanted because of the triple murder. A provincial couple finds themselves at the center of a showdown between criminal gangs and the police, but still tries to pretend that nothing has changed in their lives.
As soon as the second season of "Fargo" starts to feel familiar detective, something happens that changes the perception of the series. This is the rare case when the project deserves attention because of the plot - although everything else is also fine here.
So, the second season is striking in the absurd. For example, events may well be affected by the appearance UFO or stupid accident. The actors also add absurdity, especially Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons - they have a really brilliant duet.
In my opinion, the second season turned out to be the most atmospheric of those released. The American 70s look familiar and familiar. This is a brilliant example of working with anemoia - nostalgia for the times in which he did not live. Warm picture, calm music, amazing landscapes of Minnesota - the authors perfectly showed the quiet outback, which suddenly turns into a place for criminal showdowns.
A famously twisted plot, a special atmosphere and wonderful humor - "Fargo" masterfully entertains the viewer, constantly offering him something new. This applies to all seasons, but the second does it with special skill.
