Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBilly Bob Thornton narrates using lines from Peter and the Wolf (1946), which was narrated by Sterling Holloway. Thornton's character in the first season of 'Fargo' was often associated with wolves.
- GoofsYuri Gurka claims Vladimir Putin grew up with a photo of "Berzhin" by his bed, saying, "Berzhin, who squats in 1920 dirt, gives birth of GRU, later KGB. Godfather." However, Leon Trotsky founded the GRU in 1918, and the GRU was not the predecessor of the KGB. They existed simultaneously with different areas of focus (similar to the CIA and FBI). The name "Berzhin" seems to be a combination of Yan Bergin, who was promoted to head of the GRU in 1920, and Felix Dzerzhinsky, founder of the Cheka, one of the preceding agencies of the KGB, and who is considered the "Godfather" of the KGB.
- Quotes
Winnie Lopez: I got about 100 pounds of TP crammed in there. Been cranky as a female dog since breakfast, and now I know why... We've been trying, me and Jerry, for months now. Yeah. Like those old Road Runner cartoons with the wolf and the sheep dog, how you punch a clock to go to work?... It's mostly missionary, if I'm being honest. We used to spice it up, but now it's about the shortest distance between two points... He'd pop faster from the back, if I'm being honest, but I think it's important to look each other in the eyes when it comes to making babies.

Thewlis' performance is always menacing. He is truly someone to be feared akin to Capt. Simco in the series 'Turn'. You hope said soul will leave the scene because of what he represents - a personality obsessed with control and gain. Not gain to flaunt but gain to manipulate others because that is Varga's goal. The accumulation of wealth definitely provides such.
I sense the season has finally gotten through the meaningless 'fleshing out' of the other characters peculiarities and can now focus on just how shall 'Capt. Gloria Burgle' (Carrie Coon) react to her first encounter with this real monster and then move to slay him. Emmett/Ray Stussy are now merely 'parts' of the drama -
Based on the use of Prokofiev's 'Peter And The Wolf' score this is what the rest of the season shall be - This is the classic 'good vs. evil' and as of yet, neither party has laid eyes on the other.
