FARGO SEASON 5 REVIEW
It’s cold outside, murder and mayhem are afoot, and everybody is “Minnesota nice”…must be a new season of Fargo. Noah Hawley’s highly acclaimed anthology series returns in the highly problematic year of 2019, where we find Dot Lyon (Juno Temple) in a bit of a pickle. In the midst of a scuffle, she finds herself injected back into the legal system where old demons come to haunt her. Flipping the script on the film version, Dot defiantly defends herself during a kidnapping meant to bring her back to her previous husband Sheriff Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm) who’s claimed her as his property. Against all odds, Dot – the tiger that she is – narrowly escapes and thus the story unwinds into a series of deadly events that involve the local police (Richa Moorjani, Lamorne Morris), her mother-in-law and her lawyer (Jennifer Jason Leigh, Dave Foley), her sweet loving husband and daughter (David Rhysdahl, Sienna King), and perhaps a timeless killer (Sam Spruell). Fargo is known to have twists and turns, but this season has a more straightforward approach to its themes of domestic abuse and ugly politics that ultimately lead to another breathtaking season. Wright, Rae, and Mike discuss in the most Minnesota nice way possible their love of the newest entry to the Fargo saga.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Wright Sulek (Screener Squad, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Trash in the Can, Audio Editor)
Wright hails from the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. His passion for filmmaking brought him to Austin to study and make movies. Since then he’s had his hand in acting, writing, and directing his own short films with numerous like-minded film geeks he’s met along his journey. His newest interest has brought him into the podcasting world. He co-hosted a few different movie related podcasts such as ‘And Now This’ and ‘The Match Cut’. He currently co-hosts with longtime friend, Eric Samaniego, where they talk shop about the grimiest, trashiest, lost gems of movies on their show, ‘Trash in the Can’. Wright also guests and hosts reviews on Screener Squad and Highly Suspect Reviews as well as co-hosts Digital Noise with Chris Cox.
Lyrae Anderson (Screener Squad)
You can call me Rae. You can also call me a film lover. I’ll watch it all — small screen; big screen, and everything in between. I have attended and worked for Fantastic Fest and South by Southwest for many years. I married a film geek as well. While we don’t agree on everything, we agree on our love of movies.
Mike J. McAllister (Screener Squad, Staff Writer, Head Video Editor)
Mike J. McAllister is a filmmaker, editor, writer and animator. He is also a film junkie, dog lover and Surge-aholic (Hi, Mike). He grew up in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, where he earned the reputation as the “human IMDb” and was on a first-name basis with every video store clerk in town. He later studied film in Pittsburgh. He has since written several unproduced screenplays and TV pilots. He has also produced a number of short films, some of which have appeared in festivals across the country. He is a ninja with Final Cut Pro and is armed with a mind full of mostly useless pop-culture trivia. He also enjoys animation, MST3K, classic video games and being the “music geek” among his friends (which really just means he buys vinyl and listens to music that doesn’t come from an anime soundtrack). He resides in Austin, Texas, and can be followed on the Instamagrams at @ohheyitsmikejm.
