As an anthology, each Fargo season possesses its own self-contained narrative, following a disparate set of characters in various settings. The second season ofFargo, an American anthology black comedy–crime drama television series, starred Kirsten Dunst, Patrick Wilson, Jesse Plemons, Jean Smart and Ted Danson. As an anthology, each season of Fargo is engineered to have a self-contained narrative, following a disparate set of characters in various settings.

Noah Hawley and his team of writers used the second season to expand the scope of the show's storytelling—from its narrative to its characters. They increased the show's cast of core characters to five, each with interconnecting arcs and different viewpoints of the central story. Hawley wanted viewers to sympathize with characters they might not feel empathy for in real life.

The producers at one point discussed revisiting a modern period for their story. According to Hawley, the change in the time period helped to develop a sense of turbulence and violence in a world that "could not be more fractured and complicated and desperate". The fourth season is set in November in Kansas City, Missouri and follows two crime syndicates as they vie for control.

The cast is led by Chris Rockwho plays Loy Cannon, the head of a crime syndicate made up of black migrants fleeing the Jim Crow South who have a contentious relationship with a fictionalized portrayal of the Kansas City mafia. The fourth season storyline spins around the sets in 1950 in a city of Kansas. Chris Rock is the head of a crime syndicate, made black migrants flew the Jim Crow South, who has a contentious relationship with the Kansas City mafia. And then he faced a lot of adventures which are shown in the movie. Fargo Season 4 is coming out on Sunday nights on FX, after a three-year delay since the last set of episodes. For this next story in the anthology series, we are in 1950s Kansas City, with a cast led by Chris Rock in a rare dramatic role as an organized crime boss trying to prevent a mob war.

Starring alongside him are actors including Jessie Buckley, Jason Schwartzman and Timothy Oliphant alongside a few less well-known names. The fourth season was announced in August and it was confirmed that Chris Rock was cast in the lead role. In Septemberit was announced that Uzo Aduba had been cast in the role of Zelmare Roulette, however, Aduba had to drop out of the role due to "some personal family issues". In this critically acclaimed anthology crime drama series, new cast ensembles take on challenging crime investigations each season. The first season, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, was called one of the best drama series of the year, while other critics said it was one of the strongest in recent memory.

Season two stars Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams, and Taylor Kitsch; Mahershala Ali is the lead in the third season, with Carmen Ejogo, Stephen Dorff, Scoot McNairy, and Ray Fisher co-starring. This spinoff of AMC's flagship series "Breaking Bad" takes place before and after the events of that show, focusing on the life of sleazy attorney Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk. Although it had big shoes to fill, the show managed to surpass critics' expectations, while scratching an itch for "Breaking Bad" fans suffering from cancellation withdrawal. A remake of a British series, this Showtime dramedy takes on the struggles of a Chicago family headed by a deadbeat patriarch (William H. Macy) whose only concerns are what his next scheme will be and where his next beer will come from. Although some critics initially thought Macy was miscast, he has racked up three Screen Actors Guild awards for his performance in the role.

The show's ninth season made it the longest-running Showtime show in the network's history. Emmy Rossum, who plays Macy's eldest daughter Fiona, did not return as a regular for the 10th season, and the show concluded with its 11th and final season in 2021. There have been few better limited series of television through time than Fargo Season two. An A list cast, new storylines, colorful production design and cinematography lead to a flawless season of television.

A principal cast of five actors received star billing in the show's second season. Hawley did not tailor his characters with any specific actors in mind, though Nick Offerman, Brad Garrett, Patrick Wilson and Kirsten Dunst were among the few he considered for starring roles in the season's early stages. The search for talent was sometimes an exhaustive process that required advertising via custom built websites and social media. Once actors were hired, their agents were made aware of the frigid shooting conditions and any issues with the location and potential scheduling conflicts during production were discussed. Hawley discussed the script with actors who had little experience in the television industry.

"They're used to reading the whole story but you've given them one or two hours of it," he remarked. Once hired, the actors trained with a dialect coach to master a Minnesota accent. The new face of corporate crime, Joe's bringing a Walmart mentality to small town America. Part enforcer, part detective, Mike is always smiling - but the joke is usually on you. Bulo and his crew have their sights set on the Gerhardt crime family in Fargo, currently led by Written by FX Networks. The storyline is not particularly scintillating and I've yet to latch onto any of the characters, other than the nurse and the undertakers' daughter.

Originally on the Syfy channel, this show based on "The Expanse" series of books is set in a universe where the solar system has been colonized. An ice hauler ship named the Canterbury is involved in an accident, sending the crew into the center of a conspiracy that threatens the uneasy peace among different planetary governments. Canceled in 2018, Amazon revived the series for an upcoming fourth season on Prime; it began streaming in late 2019. Five months since it was originally scheduled to debut, the highly anticipated new season of FX's Coen-inspired anthology series is finally here.

Fargo Season 4's sprawling cast of movie stars, TV icons, and indie rockers had to reassemble six months after filming was shut down in March in order to complete the season's final two episodes. And now viewers will get to delight in the latest star-studded, blackly comic crime saga from the mind of creator Noah Hawley. After the lackluster critical response to the first film, series creator Gene Roddenberry was forced out of the sequel's production. Executive producer Harve Bennett wrote the film's original outline, which Jack B. Sowards developed into a full script.

Meyer completed its final script in twelve days, without accepting a writing credit. Meyer's approach evoked the swashbuckling atmosphere of the original series, a theme reinforced by James Horner's musical score. Leonard Nimoy had not intended to have a role in the sequel, but was enticed back on the promise that his character would be given a dramatic death scene. Negative test audience reaction to Spock's death led to significant revisions of the ending over Meyer's objections.

The production team used various cost-cutting techniques to keep within budget, including utilizing miniature models from past projects and reusing sets, effects footage, and costumes from the first film. Among the film's technical achievements is being the first feature film to contain a sequence created entirely with computer graphics.

Relive the first three standalone seasons ofFargonow atSBS On Demand. The fourth season has received generally positive reviews from critics, though less acclaimed than previous seasons.

Its main characters may work in a bar, but this show is no "Cheers." Caustic, cynical, crass, and hilarious, "It's Always Sunny" delights in pushing the boundaries of good taste far beyond what would fly in a network show. The first season took a while to find its comedic footing, but since season two, which kicked off with Danny DeVito joining the cast, the show has received universal acclaim from critics. When it was renewed for a 15th season in 2020 it became the longest-running live-action comedy series in American history. It's astounding that a show this strange was able to land a network TV time slot in the early 1990s.

The show follows the investigation of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper into the murder of a homecoming queen in a Washington logging town. While the premise makes it sound like a run-of-the-mill primetime procedural, the delivery from creators Mark Frost and David Lynch was truly bizarre. Combining surrealism, melodrama, horror, and comedy with movie-quality visuals, "Twin Peaks" stands as one of the most original pieces of American television ever made.

The show was resurrected by Showtime in 2017 for a limited-run series featuring many of the original cast members to the delight of fans everywhere. In this animated Netflix series, a former sitcom star voiced by Will Arnett attempts to reignite his showbiz career. While many reviewers found the show's first season too short on laughs to justify its bizarre premise, subsequent seasons added surprising depth to the BoJack character and drew acclaim from audiences and critics alike. This HBO drama, based on the best-selling novel by Liane Moriarty of the same name, features an A-list cast that includes Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and Laura Dern.

The show is set in a wealthy coastal town in California where deception and murder lurk beneath the picture-perfect surface. Despite initially being billed as a miniseries—and winning an Emmy for Outstanding Limited Series—HBO brought it back for a second season, adding Meryl Streep to the stacked cast. Like several shows on this list, the first season of "Person of Interest" received a mixed response from critics for its shallow character development, while later seasons seemed to remedy the issue. The story sees an ex-CIA operative and a scientist teaming up to try to prevent crimes before they occur. The show's creator, Jonathan Nolan, is the brother of director Christopher Nolan.

As we noted last year, this season marks the biggest time jump for the series so far, as seasons one through three took place in 2006, 1979, and 2010, respectively. A press release notes that Hawley will direct the first episode with a return in 2020. Bird will be right at home as production takes place this Fall in Chicago. According to IMDb, this isn't the musician's first on-screen role as he previously played himself in an episode of The Path, and also starred in Jack's Big Music Show back in 2007. He's also no stranger to FX, having scored their underrated series Baskets.

As previously reported, the next chapter sees the return of showrunner Noah Hawley who will take the series back to the '50s with Chris Rock at the helm. The Illinois-born singer and violinist released his first album, Music of Hair, in 1996 and has released over a dozen more albums and EPs in the years since, both as a solo artist and as a member of various ensembles like the Squirrel Nut Zippers. His most recent album, My Finest Work Yet, was released in March of last year. On its release Get Carter received no awards and did not seem likely to be well remembered. It was not available on home media until 1993 but always maintained a cult following.

Endorsements from a new generation of directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie led to a critical reappraisal which saw it recognized as one of the best British movies. In 1999, Get Carter was ranked 16th on the BFI Top 100 British films of the 20th century; five years later, a survey of British film critics in Total Film magazine chose it as the greatest British film. Get Carter was remade in 2000 by Warner Bros. under the same title, with Sylvester Stallone starring as Jack Carter, with Caine in a supporting role. This remake was not well received by critics in the US and was not given a UK theatrical release. The show, largely filmed in the Scampia neighbourhood of Naples, tells the story of Ciro Di Marzio (Marco D'Amore), a member of the Savastano clan, headed by Pietro Savastano , a high-ranking member.

Ciro aims to navigate the dangers of the criminal world, while also fighting a brutal civil war. The Savastano family also consists of his wife Immacolata and son, Gennaro . The show also features rival crime boss Salvatore Conte , while introducing the characters Annalisa Magliocca , Patrizia Santore (Cristiana Dell'Anna), Giuseppe Avitabile and Enzo "Sangueblù" Villa in the show's later seasons. The original screenplay was written by Bruce A. Evans and Raynold Gideon, with Dean Riesner making uncredited re-writes. Bridges was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role. The film inspired a short-lived television series of the same name in 1986.

His career spanned from 1954 to 2017, but what's notable about Grodin is how he always prioritized happiness over success and power within the entertainment industry. This is something he wrote about over his several books, and is contained within the evidence his career leaves behind. Offered club gigs, he turned them down because the thought of doing two sets of the same material each night felt like fakery that would cheat the audience.

When reminded that the audiences wouldn't overlap and that they'd never know, Grodin replied, "Yeah, but the waiters would know". I think that anecdote contains everything you need to know about how Grodin viewed comedy and his role in performing. Aside from his movies and theatrical and television work, Grodin was also a groundbreaking and vital guest on Johnny Carson and the David Letterman shows. He viewed promotional talk show appearances as awkward and phony, so he always viewed every appearance as a performance he committed to regardless of the percentage of the audience that might not be in on the joke. His humor, warmth, and decency is what burbles underneath the prickliness with which most of his film appearances lead. A prequel to the events in its first season, season two of Fargo takes place in the Upper Midwest in March 1979.

It follows the lives of a young couple—Peggy and Ed Blumquist —as they attempt to cover up the hit and run and homicide of Rye Gerhardt , the son of Floyd Gerhardt , matriarch of the Gerhardt crime family. During this time, Minnesota state trooper Lou Solverson , and Rock County sheriff Hank Larsson , investigate three homicides linked to Rye. Having watched the previous three seasons of Fargo, this episode shows that the fourth is off to a good start.

The story is very engaging, the characters are wacky as always, and the music is amazing. The late James Gandolfini led this megahit, award-winning HBO series as Tony Soprano, an Italian-American mobster who had to balance family life with organized crime. Edie Falco, Lorraine Bracco, and Jamie-Lynn Sigler co-starred in what some critics consider one of the most groundbreaking series ever made because of its effect on the industry in elevating the art form. Based on the Coen brothers film of the same name, "Fargo" is a darkly comedic anthology show about quirky characters in small towns. The award-winning series has received top marks from critics for its originality and dedication to the absurd. Regularly referred to as one of the best TV shows of all time by Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, and TV Guide, "Seinfeld's" iconic characters, storylines, and catchphrases have become an indelible part of popular culture.

Created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld in 1989, the show launched the careers of Seinfeld and co-stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander, while Michael Richards' Kramer character became unforgettable. It won an Emmy in 1993 for "Outstanding Comedy Series," and in 2014, Hulu acquired the streaming rights to all nine seasons of the series' episodes for a reported $130 to $180 million. Starting in season three, Olivia Colman took over for Claire Foy as queen. This FX crime drama revolved around a motorcycle gang based out of Central California.

Critics appreciated the uncompromising grittiness of the show and the strength of the ensemble cast, which included Ron Perlman, Charlie Hunnam, and Katey Sagal. For the sake of authenticity, the producers even cast Oakland Hell's Angel David Labrava to play one of the biker gang members, in addition to his role as a consultant for the show. A 50,000-vote poll by StarTrek.com found that Jean-Luc Picard beat out James T. Kirk as fans' favorite "Star Trek" captain of all time. That says a lot for this series, set 99 years after the original show, whose popularity peaked with a series finale that drew a whopping 31 million viewers. This Enterprise crew also went on to star in four feature films, the first of which combined the original series and TNG casts through a time travel plot. Created by Mike Judge ("Beavis and Butthead," "Office Space") this HBO comedy chronicles the rise of a software startup run and staffed by geeky programmers.

Critics and fans heralded the strong joke writing and a standout performance by T.J. Although difficulties on set led to Miller's departure from the show at the end of the fourth season, the show continued to draw unanimously positive reviews all the way up to its finale; it finished its run on HBO in 2019. This goofy cop show stars former "SNL" cast member Andy Samberg as a juvenile and irreverent detective who's forced to shape up when a strict new commanding officer takes over his precinct. Critics praised the show's easygoing humor along with Samberg's charming performance, and following its debut season "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" clinched Golden Globes for best series and best actor in the Musical/Comedy category. It was canceled by Fox, but NBC picked it up for several more seasons. This series, based on the 1994 film "Stargate," debuted on Showtime in 1997 and then moved to the Syfy channel in 2002 to conclude its run.
