‘Fargo’ Season 5, Episodes 1-3 Recap

Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney reunite to break down the first three episodes of Fargo Season 5. They give a brief overview of their relationships with past seasons of the series and the Coen brothers’ film it’s loosely based on, before discussing why this time around feels like a return to form. Next, they unpack this season’s thematic through line that places the wives at the center of the story, walk through a taxonomy of the recurring Fargo archetypes up until this point, and highlight their favorite needle drops from the episodes.
