When Charlotte asked if I was interested in Season 3 of the FX black comedy-crime-drama series Fargo, I answered, "Yah. You betcha."
It was an easy call. Fargo Seasons 1 and 2 were must-watch TV here at Boomer Brief HQ. I've been waiting for Season 3 for almost a year. On April 19th the wait is over.
The third season is set in Minnesota in 2010. Ewan McGregor plays the dual lead roles of Emmit and Ray Stussy, Emmit's the Parking Lot King of Minnesota - a real estate mogul and family man.
His younger brother (also McGregor) is a balding and pot-bellied parole officer with a chip on his shoulder. He blames Emmit for his misfortunes.
Season 3 will serve up 10 episodes helmed by Noah Hawley, the originator of the FX series. Hawley's a master talent at maneuvering the quirky North Country terrain first created by brothers Joel and Ethan Coen. For the past two seasons, every episode has been edge-of-your-seat television.
If you've missed Seasons 1 and 2, don't ignore Season 3.
Each Fargo season possesses its own self-contained narrative, following a unique set of characters in various settings, albeit in a connected shared universe. You won't be confused. But trust me, you will be hooked.
Fargo Season 3 begins its run on FX beginning April 19th.
And Charlotte and I will be watching.
You betcha.
