I love the little Corn Brothers touches that Noah Hawley incorporates into his "Fargo" TV series. For example, every episode proclaims it a "true story," with only the names changed, but all the events having literally happened in 2019, just as "Fargo" the original movie once did back in the 1990s. Of course, just like then, that's all utter nonsense. In this third episode of the fifth season, a card is displayed saying "500 years ago," and we soon learn that "Ole Mench," the intimidating hitman played by Sam Spruell, has more than an unattractive haircut in common with a character in another Coen masterpiece, "No Country for Old Men." Serious evil. Namely, in 16th century Wales, he was a "sin-eater" (yep, that was a real thing back then). His terrifying Halloween costume is his normal outfit, no mask, and his typical facial expression. Crazy. Best installment so far; I rate it a strong 9 of 10.
