Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson) gets out of his police car in front of the butcher shop, the Mike Zoss Pharmacy is seen across the street; this was also the name of the pharmacy where Chigurh blows up the car in No Country for Old Men (2007), noted in trivia for that film as a tribute to the Coen brothers' (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen) childhood hangout Mike Zoss Drugs, and also the namesake of their production company Mike Zoss Productions.
- GoofsWhen Lou Solverson and Hank Larsson are swapping war stories on the steps of the diner, Lou tells of his witnessing the combat death of a comrade while on a patrol boat in what is presumably Vietnam in 1974. Most US ground/sea forces were withdrawn after the ceasefire in 1973. Any remaining personnel would not have been witness to, or involved in, any combat situations by 1974.
- Quotes
Mike Milligan: And isn't that a minor miracle? The state of the world today and the level of conflict and misunderstanding, that two men could stand on a lonely road in winter and talk calmly and rationally... while all around them, people are losing their mind.

Featured review
The Gerhardts get a surprising offer, and two unlikely murderers do their best to clean up their mess.
What I Liked:
The cinematography is solid, and each scene perfectly implements its well-crafted and memorable music score. On top of that, each actor gives a strong performance.
Mike Milligan and the Kitchen brothers appear to be intriguing characters, elevating each scene. One must wonder how they will fare in this sophomore season.
What I Disliked:
I am not a fan of several editing choices, particularly the usage of split screens and flashbacks, which appear superfluous at best.
The final scene of this one was noticeably contrived and somewhat hamfisted. Ed leaving the lights turned on while dismembering the man he killed felt unrealistically careless, akin to Peggy's behaviour in the premiere.
Overall:
Fargo delivers another high-quality episode in its sophomore season, managing to maintain the same quality as the premiere, albeit less action-packed. So far, this season looks very promising to be a highly enthralling viewing experience.
