Mini-review of Fargo season 3.
It was kind of underwhelming with so many unnecessary plot arcs that make no sense, such as the old man who was killed, who was a writer in the past and who changed his name, it had no impact on the story whatsoever. Then there is the motif of the useless box, which I think symbolizes the protagonist's aversion to technology. Perhaps there is some symbolic significance, but I am blind to it. The only arc I found interesting was the feud between the Stussy brothers. If they made the whole season about that it would have been a hundred times more interesting IMO. The plot about some invisible corporation bullying their company into submission was a bit too far fetched I think. Season 3 also has a running theme from season 1 about a female police officer's theories refuted by her male superior which I feel was just recycled.
Also, what the hell is that ending.
Overall I'd say it's a pretty okay season but that's it.
By far I think season 2 was the best, followed by season 1.
