Malvo executes his master plan, while Lester attempts to craft his own. Gus and Molly team up in Duluth.
What I Liked:
The cinematography is solid, and each scene perfectly implements its beautiful and mesmerizing music score. On top of that, each actor gives a strong performance, with Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman being the clear standouts.
Malvo is one of the most intriguing individuals you will see on television, with Thornton's portrayal being nothing short of superb, along with Freeman's portrayal of Lester.
Lester's transformation sees him become arguably the most interesting character on this show, even more so than Malvo. It will be fascinating to see how morally bankrupt he will become by season's end.
What I Disliked:
Lester's escape plan and his return to the hospital are highly implausible and contrived. His plan never even comes close to failing, aside from when Gordo spots him in their house.
Overall:
Fargo delivers yet another fantastic episode, and it's the most action-packed so far. Just about every element combines to create a highly enthralling viewing experience.
