Fargo Season Five: We've watched all five seasons of this show. I've liked them all, but don't think Seasons Three and Four were anywhere near as good as Seasons One and Two. This season felt like a comeback. First, one of the stars is Jennifer Jason Leigh who I love. Usually, I don't pay attention to the references to the film. But it was fun to watch how a resourceful woman like Dot reacted to a similar kidnapping that Jean experienced in the film. Actually, Dot was more than resourceful; you had to wonder what secrets was this seemingly mild-mannered housewife holding?
True Detective Season Four: This is our first time watching True Detective. Jodie Foster is a local sheriff in a small Alaskan town north of the Arctic Circle. Seven scientists from a remote research station are missing, and six bodies are later found in a "corpsicle." A woman's tongue is also found at the research station from a five-year-old homicide. Things get stranger from there. Jodie Foster is brilliant; her costar Kali Reis is very good. It was good to see John Hawkes again.
Both series had supernatural elements that I felt were unnecessary, but also intriguing. I'll watch both next season.
