The ‘Fargo’ series is correspondingly popular, although fans also have to admit that seasons 3 and 4, which are still worth watching, didn’t quite match the genius of the first two seasons.

In 2019 North Dakota, sweet Dorothy “Dot” Lyon (Juno Temple) seems at first glance to be a friendly Midwestern housewife.

But that’s exactly where the chaos begins…
