Original Title: “Honey, did you stab the hostage?” Seriously, has any show had a more stacked cast than Fargo S2? Patrick Wilson, Ted Danson, Jean Smart, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Cristin Milioti, Brad Garrett, Nick Offerman , Anne Cusack, Kieran Culkin, Martin Freeman, Bruce Campbell and more!
Seriously, you are ten actors into the cast and its still absolutely top flight phenomenal actors!
Even someone like Anne Cusack in a small part who a lot of people don’t know but she is a fantastic old school actress been around a long time. ( Ann Cusack, John Cusack, and Joan Cusack are siblings BTW)
Then we have little known actors like Zahn McClarnon as Hanzee Dent, a Native American veteran of the Vietnam War who works as Dodd Gerhardt’s enforcer. Incredible performance.
The whole season is just one master class in acting after another.
And in a season full of incredible scenes my absolute favorite is a drunken Nick Offernman’s unhinged weirdo lawyer talking down an entire squad of thugs hell bent on invading a police station. Riveting.
This is just about as good as TV gets IMHO
