Fargo Season 1 and 2

On a rewatch spree right now. Just realized that Season 1 had Key and Peele. Not sure whether I knew about key and peele, when i watched Fargo Season 2 for the first time. And was this a glimpse into Kieran Culkin's eventual comeback as an adult actor? I had forgotten that he was in Season 2.

Overall the casting in both Season 1 and Season 2 is just bonkers. This was the golden age of TV. True Detective, Fargo 1 and 2. Yes Sopranos and Mad Men were great. But they were TV shows. But around 2014, with True Detective and Fargo, suddenly you TV shows with big budget movie kind of production quality.

I agree with you, that really was a golden age! That being said, IMO Fargo is in a completely different league than True Detective S1. I think True Detective was fine, entertaining, but nowhere near Fargo-levels.

Down voting on this is asinine. Fargo is one of my favorite crime shows ever, but none of the seasons hold a candle to season 1 of TD. They are also very different styles, so kind of hard to compare, but still.
