Trailer for the fourth season of "Fargo" (FX)

Like almost everything else in our lives today, the perception of history is divided into two opposing insights.

On one side there are those who look at it as a comforting circularity of recurring events, huge waves that rise and then shatter until the next round.

Epidemics, social struggles, dangerous leaders, all of these have already occurred many times.

This time, too, it will pass.

On the other hand they will say that this is exactly the definition of Einstein's madness: to repeat the same action every time and expect a different result.

Because even though history does tend to repeat itself, it does not do so in exactly the same way.

In each round there are small and large choices, decisions that make it possible to spin the ship of humanity just before it hits the glacier.

But what happens when that decision does not come, when good people do not do the right thing, when common sense does not hurt right at the moment of truth?

This question now hovers over so many issues in the real world, and also on the fictitious one of "Fargo."



About two years after the end of the third season, which was supposed to be the last of the prestigious crime anthology, Noah Hawley's brainwashed an idea for a new story.

For the first time "Fargo" does not take place in Minnesota, the home of, well, Fargo.

The niceness / naivety / strangeness of Minnesota that characterized the series, and of course the film on which it is based, was replaced in Kansas City, Missouri in 1950 - a place where Jim Crow's laws meet, organized crime and a growing economy after World War II.

At the time of filming this season, somewhere in the unremarkable world of late 2019 and early 2020, all of these paths seemed important and relevant, but no one could describe how many there would be when you finally got to the screen (after a four-month break and completion last summer).

The USA of 2020 is facing a historic upheaval in the Supreme Court, which may change perceptions of race, freedom and equality for generations. Never in the history of the series has the violence and fear bubbling in it, so parallel to the real world.

Who is an American?

The plot of the fourth season takes place, as mentioned, inside the violent melting pot of immigration to the US, where a shaky peace takes place between two crime families: the Italian Fada and the Black Canon. To preserve the fragile alliance and create a balance of power, the two heads of families switch between their sons. Very quickly changes plans not only for Levi Cannon (Chris Rock) on the one hand and Justo Fada (Jason Schwartzman, "Moonlight Kingdom") on the other, but for the plethora of characters who are within the radius of violence they produce.If



the third season of "Fargo" The whole season revolves around the question “what is truth?”, The current season asks “who is an American.” Is there such an identity at all, and if so, how is it created in a place where the only way to survive is to destroy the being that was there before you. When he chooses to present the story from the point of view of Etherida Smadney (Emeril Cratchfield), a brilliant black girl who recounts the events as part of an essay on a history lesson at the racist school where she attends.From this young perspective, the struggle seems not only inevitable but also Endless. "This is the story with America," Ethreida exclaims, "as soon as you calm down and get fat, someone hungry will come and demand a piece of the

Going from success to dizzying success.

Common to all the heroes of this season is their exclusion from the white American mainstream.

The only path left for them, that of crime, eventually leads to the vicious circle in which the stigma about them proves itself.

There’s a lot to the episode here, which is also why this is probably the most complex season in the history of “Fargo”.

The amount of puzzle pieces is particularly large, so much so that the series takes the trouble to produce small reminders while on the move to keep us busy.

Nevertheless, at least as far as the first four chapters used for this review (out of 11) are concerned, there is no sense of fatigue or boredom.

Like almost any series that features one-hour episodes each, you can probably give up at least ten minutes in each episode, but even when "Fargo" doesn't move fast it is still an extraordinary television delight.

Especially in times when so much TV is being made, it is a reminder of how few of them really excel.



The first 23 minutes of the season are simultaneously the best "Godfather" movie since "Godfather 2," and the best parody of it.

"Fargo" has always walked the fine line between abysmal seriousness and absurdity, between graphic violence and innocence.

This balance was not always successfully maintained (see first season entry), but trial and error led her to learn to identify the right dose.

And while seriousness is undoubtedly the main tone here, these are the little moments of breaking the tension that manage to turn very good scenes into great ones.

The fact that this is one of the most beautiful and cinematic series on screen with a surge of style, ensures that quite a few of these scenes will be remembered long after the viewing.

And the icing on the cake is the choice of names: Doctor Senator (who is not a Doctor or Senator), Oreita Mayflower, Constant Kalamata and Abel Violenta are just a small and delightful part.

Toads of style.

Finally, one of the most interesting choices of maybe this season is to turn expectations around.

Rock, a stand-up comedian, delivers a meticulous and serious performance here, as does the mighty Ben Vishu ("Pretty English Scandal").

The "light-hearted" part, as far as it goes, is entrusted to an eccentric nurse who came from Minnesota (Jesse Buckley, who goes from success to dizzying success - "Chernobyl", "Rose's Song", "I'm Thinking It's Over") and his brother The brainwashed of the head of the Fada family (Salvatore Esposito, "Gomora"), who seems to be popping out of their sockets at any moment.

Almost every character balances the other in its characteristics, which is important mainly because you can not be afraid all the time, and at the same time everything will look like a joke.

And at the same time, she constantly winks, recalls, reflects, touches on reality outside of fantasy, but never preaches.



At least as of the first part, the fourth season of "Fargo" is a wonderfully complex and well-constructed atenza that manages to entertain and evoke thought, to be funny and sometimes even sad.

More than any other season this season looks like a literary novel (after all, maybe he is a writer with five books behind him) about the troubles of others, which actually testify to our troubles.
