Title: Fargo
Review: the fourth installment season of this bizarre Coen Brothers film -turned TV series is not the best of the lot…. but major Coen-quirky. Rival African -American and Italian gangs fight for supremacy in 1950 Kansas City is the basic story, which is ok, but the characters are beyond weird. Buckley is on the all-Coen team and Huston is a riot as the OCD tic-laden dirty cop. Schwartzman and Rock seem pretty strange casting, though Rock pills it off pretty well. Schwartzman must just be an intended cosmic goof as a mob boss, from what I can tell. But, Salvatore Esposito, as his crazed off the boat brother, however, is worth the price of admission. Season is only seven episodes and the wrap up seemed both lost and deranged……but Coen watching is de riguer.
