Der schüchterne Versicherungsvertreter Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) ist einer der Hauptcharaktere in der Krimiserie "Fargo". Lester wird nach Jahren noch immer von seinem ehemaligen Mitschüler Sam Hess gemobbt. Nach einem Treffen mit ihm landet Lester mit gebrochener Nase in der Notaufnahme. Dort kommt er mit Berufskiller Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) ins Gespräch. Malvo bietet Lester an, Sam Hess aus dem Weg zu schaffen. Da Lester das Angebot nicht eindeutig ausschlägt, geht Killer Malvo davon aus, einen Auftrag erhalten zu haben – wenig später tötet Malvo Sam Hess in einem Striplokal. Damit nicht genug: Während eines heftigen Streits erschlägt Lester im Affekt seine verhasste Frau. Er weiß sich keinen anderen Rat und bittet Malvo, ihm bei der Beseitigung der Leiche zu helfen. In der Zwischenzeit untersucht Polizistin Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman) den anderen Mordfall. Anhand von Zeugenaussagen kann sie ermitteln, dass Lester im Krankenhaus mit dem Täter gesprochen haben muss. (ZDFneo)

Season 1 (2014) (S01)
As a big fan of the brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, I wasn't sure if I should watch this series inspired by their gritty crime thriller Fargo. However, my fears were not justified at all, because the first season was a great success. I was pleased that the chilling atmosphere of the original film was not lost and the typical black humor was retained. The cast of the main roles could not have been better. Especially Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman were so great that I'll have to think about including them among my favorites. ()
Season 2 (2015) (S02)
The second season is comparable in quality to the first one, so I enjoyed watching it again. The gripping thriller ride, punctuated with music that couldn't have been better chosen, captivated me so much that I suddenly stopped thinking about the prominent central characters from the first season of the series and fully focused on the troubles of the butcher and his quirky, determined wife, into which they delved destructively with each subsequent episode. The creators have gone back in time, spiced up the story with a proper mafia plot and I can't wait to see what they surprise and captivate me with next. ()
Season 3 (2017) (S03)
"The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?" +++ Quite a crazy thought (spoken by the mouth of the biggest slimeball of the third season, V. M. Varga, played by the wonderfully loathsome David Thewlis), which is not entirely out of place. Once again, I was engrossed in a suspenseful story laced with typical black humor, this time with a great contribution from Ewan McGregor, whose double role of the feuding brothers fit him like a glove.
