Discussing Fargo Season Five Episodes 1-3

Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney reunite to break down the first three episodes of ‘Fargo’ Season 5. They give a brief overview on their relationships with past seasons of the series and the Coen brothers’ film it’s loosely based on, before then discussing why this time around feels like a return to form. Next, they unpack this season’s thematic through line that places the wives at the center of the story, walk through a taxonomy of the recurring ‘Fargo’ archetypes up until this point, and highlight their favorite needle drops from the episodes.

Hosts: Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney

Producer: Kai Grady
