Synopsis / Plot: TV Series (2020). In 1950, at the end of two great American migrations — that of Southern Europeans from countries like Italy, who came to the US at the turn of the last century and settled in northern cities like New York, Chicago — and African Americans who left the south in great numbers to escape Jim Crow and moved to those same cities — you saw a collision of outsiders, all fighting for a piece of the American dream. In Kansas City, Missouri, two criminal syndicates have struck an uneasy peace. One Italian, one African American. Together they control an alternate economy — that of exploitation, graft and drugs. This too is the history of America. To cement their peace, the heads of both families have traded their eldest sons.

Critics' reviews

"Perhaps overly ambitious, but still frequently dazzling (...) I'm such an appreciator of the show's eccentric style and rhythms that I'm overjoyed to have 'Fargo' back"

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"Season 4 is the bleakest season yet — and better for it (...) After a wobbly start, 'Fargo' gets better and better over the nine episodes given to critics"

Ben Travers: IndieWire
"Not a single episode watched for review (...) lacks for an unforgettable camera shot, a haunting character choice, or a line of dialogue so weird and wonderful it could only be 'Fargo'"

Liz Shannon Miller: Collider
"[It] has a lot of nothing to say about America (...) All the details are wrong in every direction, either over the top or unbelievably absent"

Darren Franich: Entertainment Weekly
"Although smart and beautiful, there is something left wanting in the new episodes (...) But an average season of 'Fargo' is better than the best season of many other series (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Kelly Lawler: USA Today
"Like America itself, 'Fargo' is a dizzying, delightful swirl of influences. And this move away from the series’ familiar Minnesota home turf is mostly a rollicking success (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Alan Sepinwall: Rolling Stone
"The fourth season of FX’s 'Fargo' can be seen as an experiment to test what happens when every element of a TV show is executed brilliantly … except the story"

Shane Ryan: Paste Magazine
"Well worth the wait, 'Fargo's fourth season is quite simply a masterpiece."

Alex Maidy: JoBlo
