The entire premise of the show is that it’s all linked. It’s one world, one timeline. That isn’t a spoiler, it’s the bloody show.

Whereas I don’t like spoilers anymore than the next guy, sojourner , I can assure you that the mere revelation that this season has links to the previous ones does not qualify in any way as a spoiler. Not for most shows, and even less so for Fargo, in which the very concept of links and references between the different seasons is a actually part of the very DNA of the show. So rest assured nothing has been spoiled.

I guess there’s also the “don’t read a thread about a show that’s 8 months old if you don’t want to know about it” argument as well

Anyways, have just finished it. After reading a few lukewarm reviews when it first came out last autumn I was fearing it would be bad. But it certainly isn’t, even if it might not be as great as its predecessors. It is still a very well written, acted, and produced series.

I thought it was being shown on telly? Have they spunked it all on All 4? Wish they wouldn’t do that

You can choose to either binge it on All4 or watch it the traditional way weekly on the telly. Best of both worlds.
To you.
Not to me.
Meh. I'm just not gonna read any threads at all about anything I'm watching from now on. I realise my definition of spoilers is different to most people's. The only other person I know who is as fanatical as I am is my fella.
What would be good though is if you all stopped telling me what defines one, as if that has no effect on my enjoyment at all. I'm 53, with a full deck of creativity, I like to watch EVERYTHING unfurl slowly.
But it might be bloody different in this one! Christ, I don't know what's so hard to get about that.
It's only just come on Channel 4 for me.I guess there’s also the “don’t read a thread about a show that’s 8 months old if you don’t want to know about it” argument as well

What was the spoiler? Was Satchell that bloke off of season 2 or something?

I'm taping it on my BT Box so I don't have to suffer the wretched All4 advert breaks, will watch it when it's all taped.

I guess the bar was set very high with the previous seasons.
not very well written at times - the last two episodes should've just been one slightly extended ep. instead there was huge padding to make it out to the full hour.
Rock is a perfectly good actor but was far outside his zone here. never particularly convincing. same for Schwartzman.
I think like a lot of stuff that have covid interfere, you have to wonder how much better it could have been. like if they had been able to get back together for reshoots.

Unlike with film where reshoots are very common, once a series is underway, there rarely are reshoots, a tv schedule doesn't allow for it. If anything, the Covid enforced break would have given them a chance to modify the last few episodes had they seen anything wrong with it. The 4th season just didn't work, maybe it's just run its course.
Noah Hawley is now working on a TV series which is an Alien spin-off, I'm very curious to see how that turns out. If it is as good as the first three seasons of Fargo, it could be the best continuation of the franchise since Aliens.

Is the film Maggie Moore(s)?I’m watching right now a film with Jon Hamm and decided to check him out on IMDB, and was pleasantly surprised to see he’s listed as one of the main leads in a new, as yet unnamed fifth instalment of Fargo. Apparently coming out next year, and also featuring Juno Temple

Yes, it was pretty decent. Perfect Sunday film.

I thought John Hamm and Nick Mohammed made quite a nice double act.
Not the greatest film I've ever seen but nicely entertaining. Perfect Sunday film as you say

There’s a season five dropping next month. I don’t know anything about it other than it stars Jennifer Jason Leigh who I rate, and Joe Keery who I only know from Stranger Things.

Didn't finish season 4, but I assume the kid who was adopted by Ben Whishaw turned out to be Mike Milligan from season 2.

Fargo S5 is nearly upon us, and I am very encouraged by both its cast and the first reviews out, some of which are not just positive but suggest ‘a return to form’

I’ve never bothered with VPNs or the naughty internet when it comes to watching TV shows, but if this is not released in the UK later this month as is in the US, I might join the dark side for this.
