Fargo: S2E4 "Fear and Trembling" Review - King Cadmium
10 March 2022
Floyd responds to Kansas City's proposal, Hanzee takes a road trip, and Lou has a realization.

What I Liked:

The cinematography is solid, and each scene perfectly implements its well-crafted and memorable music score. On top of that, each actor gives a strong performance.

As the gang war intensifies, each scene involving the Gerhardts and the Kansas City Mafia becomes tenser and tenser, making for some highly enthralling television.

What I Disliked:

I am not a fan of several editing choices, particularly the usage of split screens and flashbacks, which appear superfluous at best.

Each scene with Ed & Peggy is noticeably uninteresting, especially compared to the other storylines. These characters are not likable enough to warrant the amount of screen time they receive.

Overall:

Fargo maintains its high quality in what remains a strong sophomore season. One can surmise that the events in this story are all building to an epic climax.

8/10
