like to see more offbeat shows similar to this.


yeah it says series finale on my cablebox tv guide thingy... take it for what it's worth.

even though i felt satisfied by the conclusion and resolution of the storylines presented...i can't help feel a little let down by the anti-climactic finale. it didn't seem like hawley didn't know how to end it, but rather that he knew how to end it too well. there were no real surprises or moments of true suspense. i thought there'd be more tension when gus found lorne's lair. maybe find out more about him, but we don't see anything.

i can imagine 312player's arms flailing in the air like his team won the super bowl when key & peele were knocked off.

for a show with a lot of crazy build ups and odd subplots...this seemed pretty ordinary. but it was still a great ride. i enjoyed the season thoroughly. some nice symbolism to break down as well.

I agree with you. It could have been a little better but I was satisfied. If they are actually going to have another
season it may explain the ending not being as dramatic as it could have been. I was just happy to be watching
something that was actually "original" and not some rehashed show that has been overdone 10 different ways.

My favorite part of the last Ep was when Malvo gave up on chasing after Lester and went home.

That was a very unique move.


That was pretty crazy when he set his leg. Yowzers!

Knew Gus was gonna be the guy to get Malvo way back in the first couple episodes, had to make amends for letting him go in the first place.

Loved this show, loved the finale despite its lack of twists it was still 1000x better than True Detective.

I'll have to disagree with you there but I was very happily surprised by the quality and writing on this show. It
is definitely up there with True Detective as best new show this season but I don't think it was better, no matter
how you feel about the way True Detective ended.

i didn't need any of the heroes to die, that's not what i mean about tension or climactic endings. there just seemed to be a very neat end to it that seemed incongruent with the rest of the season. it was still good, and i still overall enjoyed the season as a whole.

i loved the two glove story.

I just finished watching it after a binge session and I loved it. I actually rather liked the ending, Gus getting Malvo, Nygaard getting Nygaard.
So, where's the deaf fella?

Those two turds aren't great @ anything ...yes I was very pleased when they got clipped...

great show, I just don't see where this show can go now with Malvo dead. I was impressed with the writing n acting .

Sounds pretty awesome. I like the idea, although I will miss the characters from this past season.

Pretty sure they will recast the lead unless they stated otherwise in that article.
