Juno Temple is out of this world good, her performance deserves every award there is

[@dalis994]

I was mesmerised by her performance.

[@CupidStunt1512]

@@dalis994 her and Jon Hamm were great, the finale was a let down so dampened my opinion of the season as a whole because if it had ended with a bang it would have been up there with 1 and 2

[@sgreer78]

I expected to only view her as Keeley, but she's definitely way more than that.

[@KenMac-ui2vb]

I've loved them all but Season Five is beyond good. The casting, the story, the writing and the acting were all superb.

[@jamesfromthecomputer]

Juno Temple has done two accents in this season, one of Nadine and one for Dot, she's amazing

[@aaronwhite1786]

The part I found interesting was that only Lorraine on the show saw the true accent? Even when she was back with the people from her old life, she only spoke with the Minnesota accent.

[@andyinoregon]

Since season one with Billy Bob Thornton, "Fargo" has been the best televsion on television. Huge thanks to Noah Hawley and producer Warren Littlefield.

[@sammyclemens5390]

With the exception of season 4.

[@Chalor.]

_Definitely_ the third best. Most certainly not _nearly_ as good as Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

[@louvendran7273]

Billy Bob is a legend.

[@theascendunt9960]

Since season 2, it's been going downhill. Sad to say but season 5 hit rock bottom.

[@louvendran7273]

@@theascendunt9960 As an outisider, still loyal to the British Crown. Series 5 hit the spot as a metaphor or warped reality to the trained eye of a greater imagery of the MAGA/Right Wing Libertarian Conservatism & its opposing force "the deep state." It showed, the sheer brutality of banking & the financial system on normal people & how the rich elites exploit loopholes to destroy those crippled by student/medical/mortgage debt if they are simply not earning enough to make ends meet. A beautiful side plot was revolving around the female police officer. She has a "manchild" husband who has a childhood dream to become a golfer because he does not work he rakes up enormous credit card debt through purchasing expensive golf clubs & other 'manchild' hobbies. He blames his lack of talent on the golf clubs. His wife has to work overtime to fund his "Peter Pan Syndrome" just to keep the vultures from attaching their assets. He then blames his wife for being unsupportive & sherking her duties of a wife because she has to work overtime & uses it as an excuse to neglect him. The mother-in-law of the protagonist is a banker baron of the Midwest. She is ruthless & like all those of her class contribute large funds to fund/donate to various public/political institutions in order to "capture" said individuals representing these instutions in order to gain favour over or even control legislation, governor & the president, the judiciary, the police force/national army/medical system/educational institutions etc. Moreover, she intimidates smaller players by destroying their lives if they refuse a hostile takeover. Then concerning the policer officer, she requests credit records/bank statements of the police officer's debts who then has her car repo'ed. Then, she offers the police officer a job as head of security for her with an offer of well over a 6 figure salary probably of $200k+ is what senior management earn. After the officer catches her husband cheating, "red-handed" she decides to accept the job. All in all, perhaps there are many "weak scenes" as you correctly mention if corrected would have made it even more enthralling.

[@jhors7777]

Fabulous acting by all. Simply fabulous. Season five has been very enjoyable to watch.

[@veerchasm1]

One of my favorite seasons so far!

[@theascendunt9960]

Tells more about your taste then because this was the weakest season of all.

[@insert-name101]

​@@theascendunt9960By ratings alone, this season is stronger than s3 & 4. Also overall. This season is jam-packed with great characters & plot. obviously not even close to the excellence of season 1 & 2. But that's a very high bar.

[@HYUKLDER1]

For Fargo, the accent is said to be 'Fargo Minnesota nice'. It's very appealing and idiosyncratic of the movie and TV series; can be unfriendly but unerringly polite! Apparently, Fargo residents don't talk like that, unless anyone from Fargo can say different?

[@TheFrozenPines]

Fargo resident here-Yeah no one here actually talks like that. We sound pretty much the same as any other midwestern region. For people who aren’t from here, the Fargo series accents might be cool to hear, but for us residents of the Red River Valley, it rubs us the wrong way because it’s not an accurate representation of how people here actually talk. Still love the series though!

[@ZaterahUniverse]

Love it so far!!

[@yuckyool]

J.J.Leigh does the "transatlantic" (very popular in movies from the 1930's~1950's), quite similar to what she used in "Hudsucker Proxy".

[@jonathanross149]

Should have looked for this comment before I posted. The "transatlantic" accent is also called a "Mid-Atlantic" accent. Maude Lebowski had the same accent.

[@aolson1111]

She said she based it on William F Buckley on Firing Line.

[@Frazer247]

Fargo Season 5 has truly surpassed all expectations, firmly establishing itself as the pinnacle of the series. From its breathtaking cinematography to the intricately woven plot, every element of this season has been crafted to perfection. The acting is sublime, with each character brought to life in a way that's both authentic and deeply engaging. The writers have outdone themselves, blending dark humor, gripping drama, and unexpected twists to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The visual storytelling is a feast for the eyes, while the suspenseful narrative keeps the mind racing. This season has not only honored the legacy of its predecessors but elevated the entire series to new heights. It's a masterclass in television that will be talked about and celebrated for years to come. Fargo Season 5 is not just good television; it's a groundbreaking achievement that sets a new standard for the medium.

[@sapnashah3263]

I’ve watched all seasons and season 5 was my favorite

[@EliChristman]

So much better than season 4. I'm glad they brought the accents back.

[@sammyclemens5390]

Agree. Season 4 had a lot of potential but it was definitely the worst season. Unfortunately casting Chris Rock and Jason Schwartzman was a bad choice. They weren’t at all believable.

[@dmontes133]

Best season of Fargo, ever!

[@theascendunt9960]

Looks like a strong case of recency bias because this was the worst.

[@AndorranStairway]

The entire cast was fantastic and compelling. Lorraine, Dot, Roy, Ole in particular were incredible.

[@AndorranStairway]

@@fuzzybum 👆😭🤡

[@locallyringedspace3190]

Incredible cast this season!

[@appyguy]

Juno Temple and Sam Spruell were brilliant! I've loved all five seasons but this might be my new favorite.

[@semipenguin]

I’ve never watched the television series before, so this is my introduction to it. I love it. Juno and Jon are two of my favorite actors

[@bedlampuhedron]

You should watch the older seasons, especially 1 and 2! They're amazing

[@theascendunt9960]

This season sucks. But you'll love season 1 and 2. There's nothing like it.

[@Marco.91]

If you liked this season you will like the other ones as well

[@insert-name101]

Start from season 2, based on 1979. Then the movie based on 1996. Then season 1, 3 then 5 all of these 3 are in order of the timeline. Then you can try with season 4. It's based on 1940-50s but it's the weakest installment overall & adds nothing to the Fargo universe.

[@brinab4563]

I thought Juno Temple was Irish but wow I didn’t know it was the Minnesota accent

[@williamkoppos7039]

She is actually English

[@tkshhassett4504]

Watched the whole season you all did a fantastic job. Incredible!

[@MariaLuciaGomezGreenberg]

Fantastic!!!! 👏🏼😍👏🏼

[@ericthegeneric1611]

Honestly This. This is how a strong woman should be. She fought thru everything

[@WashingtonHoax]

Jon Hamm finally does a role that saves his career. He can't do light situational comedy or even a victim of circumstance characters. It's the heavy antagonist. Could swear I seen him do James Arnes of Gunsmoke in a fleeting moment of a Roy Tillman lecture.

[@docHOLLAday53]

I wasn’t aware that Hamm’s career was in need of saving…

[@joe56474]

Season 5 turned out to be pretty good. I thought it started out good, slowed down quite a bit in the middle, but then picked up well in the last 3 episodes.

[@B.B.1961]

They actually sound more Canadian than Minnesotan

[@StudioGREGORIO]

I guess I really shouldn't be surprised. Past seasons really good. This one is one of the best so far. Hope the ending is satisfying LOL

[@stevem3072]

The Minnesotan accent is pretty thick throughout the entire Fargo franchise, which is no doubt deliberate. In reality, the further you travel away from Minneapolis, the thicker the accent gets (i.e., rural = thicker accent).

[@TheFrozenPines]

I’m a born and raised ND / Fargo native, and I can tell you, NOBODY here talks like this. It’s the one thing that I hate about the series as a whole… otherwise it’s an incredible series.

[@throwabrick]

I thought Dave Foley was awesome. Such a treat!

[@willswalkingwest7267]

Lamorne was amazing.

[@Phelec59]

I am from Australia, and in 2022, my wife and I had a road trip across the US from LA to NY via Canada. Heading east through South Dakota, we stopped at a roadhouse in Sioux Falls. I was checking out some of the snacks on the shelf in the shop. I heard a fellow from behind the counter talking to another fellow there. My immediate thought was that this poor guy is in some way mentally challenged. He was chewing every word that was coming out of his mouth. The other guy was talking ok, well, like most other Americans. I listened a bit more and could tune in to what he was actually saying. No, he was not mentally challenged. He was talking normal, but with this thick accent. Travelling across from one coast to the other and of course Canada, we heard all sorts of accents. But this guy was unique. I know we were close to Minnesota. After watching Fargo. I am wondering if he had the Minnesota accent?? Aftet Sioux Falls, we headed south. Unfortunately, we couldn't fit in Minnesota. We loved all the previous Fargo series and would have loved to travel in that state. Maybe next time..........

[@fractalnomics]

Loved it !!!!

[@weirdshibainu]

Richa is so fine...

[@youforget1000thingsaday]

I'm not used to not hearing her accent now, LMFAO!

Well, okay then...

[@viking511-]

I’m one minute in, and juno accent is cringy. I’m from MN-this is far more dramatized than anyone I know there.

[@nichecarousel]

It being dramatized is kind of part of the point. Seasons 1 and 2 were like that too.

[@ufinc]

how condescending

[@Sneakydevil247]

This season sucks but might not be as bad as last season 🤔 we’ll have to wait and see

Woke ergo weak and desperate and everybody else's fault. Such a pity

[@katford7286]

ND native here: Hamm nails the accent and as much as I love Juno Temple, absolutely no one talks as crazy as she does in this.

[@lolah3838]

Agreed. Her accent is awful.

[@JoeSmith-bf5tp]

Season 5 so far is really really good

[@Donniedarko458]

Is it connecting to previous season? Because I haven’t seen this series before. And I really want to watch season 5, but not for the previous season

[@berraloks]

@@Donniedarko458season one and 2 are amazing seasons of television. You can go without seeing season 3 and 4 for this new installment. They all do seem to connect in a minor way but so far not at all.

[@loveforeignaccents]

Who paid you to state such nonsense? They are trying to mirror the movie but are doing an absolutely pathetic job.

[@MaMastoast]

​@@Donniedarko458 Each season of fargo is its own isolated story. Characters do show up across different seasons, but usually at completely different points of their lives. So yea, its entirely possible to watch season 5 on its own, but there may be certain references you will be missing out on.

[@jayr6666]

​@@loveforeignaccentsYou absolute ingrate. You've obviously not even watched any of the previous seasons. The best written, directed and acted of any series in the last 10 yrs. Actors are lining up to be in this.

OOH Richa Moorjani is Gorgeous out of her Cop uniform! Agree season 5 is very good.

[@djones1234567654321]

[@Thirteenthdi]

Wow, I like everybody in this, who all seem to come from different acting universes. They got Dave Foley?! Where has he been?

[@naruhodo2393]

dude my entire body hates it when Jon Hamm came out... he nailed the part (who i hate sooooo much)

[@theascendunt9960]

They might as well gave him 2 horns and a tail. They didn't make a complex character. They just put all the evil tropes in one guy and pretty much beat you with it. I was so hyped to see Jon Hamm to play a cool character but ended up in the worst season of Fargo. Sad.

[@The3rdGunman]

The man develop accent...through hardships of the wilderness. A hundred yeeers speaking only to the creatures. Creatures did not speak Baaack. Creatures that crawl...Slither...Creatures moving about on all fours. Well, geez that's soom stoory. Woodja like a pop?

[@t.c.4321]

So glad of the improvement in season 5 compared to season 4... it sucked and didn't feel like Fargo. Season 1 is still the best in my opinion though.

[@jwiese100]

The midwestern accent is the one thing love about Fargo

[@nancya.284]

Love Fargo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tonyd9240]

Juno Temple I thought was great in Ted Lasso. But her performance in Fargo was flat out every award possible worthy 🥇. As good as all the Fargo seasons and actors have been. Her performance was flat out brilliant and amazing.
