Season 1 and two were absolutely brilliant, as good as the original Fargo movie. Season three was good, with occasional glimpses of greatness. But season 4? What is going on here? It's just weird.
The script and the direction seem influenced by some hallucinogenic mushrooms, and the mix of over- and underacting is appalling. Overacting especially in the cases of Timothy Olyphant trying way too hard to be Billy Bob Thornton (and failing miserably), and Jessie Buckley's silly walk and phony teeth. Underacting in the form of the Italian guy playing Schwartzman's brother (two facial expressions, none of them convincing), and Chris Rock, whose acting chops are in the am-dram category.
The frequent occurance of not sub-titled strange languages is also annoying, and displays contempt for the viewer. I really hope this will improve, because I know the writer/director/producer can do so much better.
