Nobody has commented on this season so far here, I am not sure if that is because people don't like it or if there is a falling off in activity here. Either way, it's unfortunate.
I have really been enjoying this season, and in my personal opinion it has been more enjoyable to me than last season. I thought the first season was pure brilliance, and although I did enjoy last season, I didn't like it nearly as much. I know her character was meant to be annoying, but I found it hard to sit through the scenes with Kirsten Dunst's character. SO ANNOYING. Also, I thought the whole UFO subplot and consequent payoff was goofy and kind of weak. There were plenty of positives - Ted Danson's performance for one, but overall I didn't care as much for Season Two as I did for Season One.
I have been loving this season so far. Every actor has nailed their part, Ewan McGregor has been better than I thought he would, Michael Stuhlbarg has been a revelation and David Thewlis steals every scene he is in. As far as I am concerned, he has managed to equal Billy Bob Thornton in the creepy yet strangely compelling villain department.
Unfortunately, viewers don't appear to agree with me.
It wasn’t a good week for FX’s “Fargo.” After falling out of the Top 25 last week, the series stayed outside of the top of the night once again, taking another hit, falling one-tenth from its previous 0.3 to a 0.2 this time around.

Now, it sounds like we won't get a fourth season:
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, FX Networks CEO John Landgraf says it’s possible that Fargo may not return for a fourth season on the network. Here are highlights:
On how far will Fargo continue: “There may never be another Fargo. Unless Noah has an idea for Fargo that he thinks he can make as good as the prior three. I think once people get to the end of this [season] they will find that it is thematically different. It’s really about the moment we live in now.”
It sounds like he is trying to make it sound like they are running out of stories to tell or something, but I am sure the real reason for his waning enthusiasm has a lot more to do with the lagging ratings.
This sucks. As far as I am concerned, this has consistently been the best show on television as far as depth of writing, character development and acting. If this show gets cancelled I am going to be pissed.
