Fargo returns

[Insidious Von]

Although S4 is set in Kansas City.

I was anticipating what the sensational Jessie Buckley would do next - after Taboo and Chernobyl. She not playing a version of Chief Bergle (a character I love), but Buckley's characterization of Oraetta Mayflower is very strong. Not convinced by Chris Rock as the Capo of a black crime syndicate. They are at odds with the KC version of La Cosa Nostra fronted by Italian actor Tommaso Ragno. The big surprise is the inclusion of Gommorah actor Sal Esposito, who shows up in E2. He doesn't with his older brother's (Jason Schwartzman) tame methods. The only drawback is I can't stream, I'll have to wait week by week.

I am a huge Fargo fan (Season 2 was probably my favorite but they have all been great) Looking forward to Season 4!!

Season 1 and 2 were dynamite. S3 was ok even though Mary Elizabeth winstead is a smokeshow. And tbh I dont love Chis Rock in dramatic roles.

I'm very excited that Salvatore Esposito is in S4 of Fargo. If you haven't watched Gommorah, it's available on Netflix. He plays the formidable (with a Mohawk haircut) Gennaro Savastano, recommended.

I love the Napolitan vernacular.

I watched S3 before I watched S2, it's more of a corporate crime thriller which threw some people off. Chief Bergle is my favorite character in the entire series, Carrie Coon played her as tough but adorable at the same time.

S2 was brilliant but I had a problem with it. Rachel Keller is an extreme smokeshow, she was the actual in Legion. She got into her birthday several times in that show, which is rare for FX. In Fargo S2 she was too covered up.

Mary Elizabeth Wanstead and Rachel Keller are both wonderful but they are not at Jessie Buckley's level.

I thought her role in Chernobyl was fictional. Investigating, I found out it was true. Lyudmilla Ignatenko delivered a perfectly normal baby from her stricken fireman husband. They had sex before the radiation poisoning ate away at him.

While waiting on Fargo, I found another good show: We Hunt Together. I'm partial to British murder mysteries, when one arrives, I'll watch it.

This one is unusual since British mystery shows are rarely sexual, this one is. It revolves around Baba, an ex child soldier hoping to obtain refugee status in England. He's barely making a living as a bathroom attendant at a London nightclub. His plans go awry when he stops a rape in progress on a call girl.

This is the call girl.

Looks like I'll be binging We Hunt Together. It's not a murder mystery it's a cat and mouse game.

It has an unusually low score on IMDB of 6.8, SJWs don't like Fredi Lane aka Zara Thustra. Young women are supposed to be awesome like Rey or Mulan, not a crocodile. She's not even Villanelle who's a madcap psycho, she's just a psycho. Too much Karla Homolka, by herself she's nothing. Linked with the former Liberian child soldier Baba, she is a monster and he the executioner. Mercifully it is not children they prey upon.

She was in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Rey wouldn't stand a chance against Fredi Lane. As Robert Shaw said, "bad fish, swallow you whole. Shake ya, tenderize ya, down the hatch".

And she looks so angelic.

 

[Insidious Von]

Hermoine Corfield can flat out act. Killing Eve is brilliant but it doesn't plumb the depth of Villanelle's psyche like We Hunt Together does with Fredi Lane. She's a top model but her priority is acting.

She's been in a number of tentpole films including Star Wars and Mission Impossible.
