Fargo Season 4 in Production - Chris Rock to star

- Start date
Imagine whistles being subtitled.
I just rewatched the movie Fargo yesterday (maybe the 20th time) and while I still think the shows are overall successful, I still believe there is something missing from the series. Both the show and the movie are at points funny, serious, suspenseful, quirk, and tragic. Each season of the show has a talented cast and a narrative that varies in its effectiveness depending on which season you're talking about.
To me at least (can't speak for anyone else), the movie is about how the seedier elements of the world can creep into and destroy a seemingly normal existence. The story should be simple and straightforward with relatable characters who make choices that either bring them at odds with this dark, nihilistic side of humanity or in league with it.
I don't really like the show involving so many parties like the mob or shadow organizations, what have you. I definitely don't like the introduction of elements that couldn't happen in real life. Fargo the movie was a stretch of a story that mirrored the affable personalities of the people you see on screen. There wasn't anything that couldn't happen.
I wish they would not try to one-up themselves and just take the series back to something very simple.

apparently i posted in this thread but I've zero memory of this news, I thought there was not gonna be anymore Fargo.
Just FYI, each season has an entirely different cast and story, set in a different location and time. And the seasons are mostly disconnected narratively (though they all share common themes).
So you don't necessarily have to watch the first three seasons to prepare for season 4. But they're great, and if you're looking for something to watch, by all means, go for it.
That's great news. All of the first 3 seasons were fantastic. I'm still amazed at Martin Freeman's transformation in S1, it was Walter White style and great acting.
I need to watch Fargo. I got excited when I heard Season 2 was in Luverne, MN which is a super small town about 15 minutes from where I grew up. But then I heard that they didn't film there so I would constantly be taken out of the story.
Real excited for this. Only watched Season 3 recently and loved it. IMO every season has been better than the last so I'm hopeful that trend will continue.
Happy there's more on the way. Between Fargo and Saul 2020 is shaping up to be a great year for weird-crime drameties.
Yeah I'm a lil skeptical on Rock doing this kind of role but who knows maybe he'll knock it out of the park. Cautiously optimistic for now.

Chris Rock as villian would be nuts if done well. A dud like Season 2 of True Detective if done wrong.
What site should I use to host pics? It's been a while since posting pics.
Chris rock isn't a good straight man
Eddie Murphy or someone who could be more subdued would have been fun
Oddly I'd like a season with Jim carrey

Sorry for the bump, but I'm watching the new A Christmas Carol on FX and they just played a quick teaser for season 4! I tried to find it online, but couldn't--wouldn't be surprised if this was the premiere but I can't be sure. The end said coming Spring 2020. We're getting there people, we're getting there.
Sorry for double post but just in case people were interested in actual footage like I was, I realized I had it on dvr. Sorry for the glare and brightness changes and shaky cam.

Had to google that
Ok cool!
Añso saw that the American Crime Story Clinton impeachment won't come out until after the election. Which is good
Raising Arizona is my personal favorite from the Coens. Nice to see it referenced in the trailer.
I did not like the first season and never got around to watching two or three, but that sold me.
If you've seen season three, it would be pretty easy to not want this tbh.
Still, the first 2 seasons were so good that I'm hoping 3 was a fluke.
Passes the initial eyeball test to me.
Season 3 looked weak from the start, but I just hoped the quality of the previous season would eventually shine through, but ultimately didn't.

After watching season 3 I honestly won't touch this until it ends. Drop of quality was way too big, I let season 2 slide but 3 I said enough.
Nowadays I think season 1 was a fluke.
