Fargo (TV series)

I use Windows 10 and just go to rarbg.to, search for e.g. Fargo S04E01, choose something like Fargo.S04E01.Welcome.to.the.Alternate.Economy.1080p.AMZN.WEBRip.DDP5.1.x264-TOMMY[rartv] and click the magnet link. Copied to a USB drive I just plug into my Samsung TV and it plays fine with subtitles included, and no nasties.

I suspect people on Virgin, BT, Talk Talk and Sky might not see the bit of the internet where all the reliable torrent sites are, on account of blocking, but decent ISPs don't have to do that.
 
Does this mean it can't be discussed on this thread until it's shown on Sky Atlantic or something?
That’s what the spoiler code is there for:

 
Since I’m in Germany I rely a lot on torrenting and I pay for a good VPN because it gets heavily prosecuted here. Smaller films can take a year or more to get released here and on TV they dub everything into German. And I still buy tons of Blu-rays and subscribe to Netflix on top.
 
I don’t do any of that. I just use a Tor browser and then a reliable site. It has taken a bit of experience to note what are likely to be dodgy files, but that’s rarely a problem in a site like eztv. It really is a piece of piss and I’ve had one takedown notice in nigh on twenty years of torrenting.
 
not everyone has the means to buy more tech, or indeed install a VPN
It really is a piece of piss to use a basic torrent kit. I use biglyBT as the client, and get the files by using a Tor browser. Then its a quick duckduckgo on there to find the latest address for proxybunker. Open that, click on ThePirateBay (or EZTV, usually) and search. Find file, download it and bigly opens. Five minutes later, I have the new episode of Fargo. Using a 'respectable' site like TPB means I haven't had any malware via a file for a decade at least.

I don't think vpns work on chromebooks, I always used to get malware from Pirate Bay proxies via Unblocked - still do
Anyway this is all beside the point. Most people prefer to access their entertainment legitimately via proper platforms
 
I don’t have any Android or Windows devices at home, only iPhones & an iPad. And it has been impossible in the past to make torrents work, and/ or connect them to my smart TV. So even if if could download or stream anything on my iPad, I would have to watch it on a tiny screen as the bastard won’t connect to the TV.
 
I dont use a vpn, just the Tor browser. And, of course, most people dont do that, and dont want to (although its reckoned more people watched a downloaded version of the GoT finale than did so via Sky), I'm just saying it really is pretty easy.

i thought the tor browser WAS a VPN? it's bamboozling. yet people say it is easy. easy for you maybe, but don't speak for others,

naah, Tor kind of apes a VPN's functions, tho it is much slower than using one of them. And I get many others would find any such thing to much work, but if you are confident enough to install anything on a pc, then you can install everything you need for torrenting. I wouldn't try to get my in laws to do it, but I wouldnt try and get them to change an email address without watching over them.
 
Anyway.... I am finally up to date with the latest season. It’s got plenty of fine stuff in it but I am still waiting for it all to really come together.

I started it last night. 2 episodes in and I'm confused already.
 
After initial excitement over a new season there doesn’t seem much buzz around this and it’s gotten more mixed reviews than previous seasons. Haven’t watched any of it yet, waiting till it is finished for a binge.
 
I thought it was suitably entertaining with a succession of mildly interesting characters, but lacked any real tension. The only characters I cared about were Rabbi Milligan and Satchel.

Finished it yesterday. It was... good. It just felt that it was doing a bit too much. Too many characters had ends that felt abrupt and weren't really explained. There was a lot of setup and then not much development.
 
There were lots and lots of good bits, the main story was interesting, some great characters, but they weren’t integrated properly into the story, too many loose threads.

needed a rug.
 
I maintain what I said after seeing just the first episode - it’s better than season three. More of a mess than two but no less interesting.
Good to hear. Whereas I generally enjoyed S3 I thought it was the weakest of the first three seasons. Great memorable characters but plot wise not as enthralling as the previous two. S1 is a very good all rounder in itself, but Billy Bob Thornton’s sublime performance just elevates to greatness. And the more multi layered and character-rich nature of S2 makes it the best and most thrilling plot-wise for me.

The trailer for S4 looked promising and silky as fuck, though of course one shouldn’t judge anything by its trailer.
