FX’s hit television show Fargo just wrapped up its fifth season. Fargo loosely based on the 1996 movie of the same name first debuted on the network way back in 2014. Each season of the show follows a mostly new cast of characters who get involved with murder investigations in different Midwestern towns. Each crime is somehow connected.
Season five was no different from the past seasons. The fifth season of Fargo follows It stars Juno Temple as Dorothy “Dot” Lyon, a seemingly typical Midwestern housewife living in Scandia, Minnesota, whose mysterious past comes back to haunt her after she lands in hot water with the authorities. Season five also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jon Hamm, Joe Keery, Lamorne Morris, Dave Foley, and Sam Spruell.
The cast and the stories may change throughout the seasons of Fargo, but there has been one person from the beginning that we owe a big thank you to. And that person is Noah Hawley one of the writers behind the show. Hawley was also behind the show Legion and Lucy in the Sky. After first watching the show back in early 2014 I fell in love with the camera work, the music, and even the pacing of the characters. If anyone out there is reading this and wants to get into filmmaking, make sure to study Noah Hawley’s work, especially Fargo.
We can only hope that a new season of Fargo is on the horizon. No news has been dropped about a new season but we will look through the snow and hope with spring something is announced sooner than later.
