The first two seasons of Fargo were amongst my very favorite in the history of TV. Ever since season 3 though, the show has been spoiled by sadistic violence that makes my stomach turn. I'm sure some people just love it, but it ruins the whole show for me.
Like this season, 5, which has such an amazing cast, and is brave in how it just goes against so many typical conventions, in all sorts of ways. It's stimulating, interesting, and really well done. But why the sadistic violence seems to be so important for the makers, I cannot answer for the life of me.
It's a good thing this season came out 1 episode per week. If I would have watched several episodes in a day or a week, I would not have gotten so attached to the series, and I would have definitely stopped watching because making me watch all this sadistic violence just makes me, as a viewer, feel used.
