Summary

There's an ironic quality to the name of this episode, The Nadir, given that the previous two episodes were our least favorite of the season. This episode is a return to form with some excellent Raylan Gi-- er, Marshal Deafy scenes, a lot more action in the gang war, and trouble all around for nurse Mayflower.

The Oh, Welcome to the Fargo Podcast, the Fargo Podcast, the officially unofficial podcast for Fargo on FX

0:33.0

I'm Jim I'm Aron and today we're talking about season four

0:36.4

episode eight titled the Nadir a run what do you think of this the low point I don't know the deer of Fargo season four I thought it was a higher point than that but

0:48.1

We've hit rock Fargo bottom here baby. I don't I don't know what to say I'm not know what to tell you if you're looking for

0:53.1

looking for flights of fancy from here I like this episode I thought this episode is a

0:59.7

lot better than the last two that were pretty uneven. I do think it suffers from like

1:05.0

like you know I'm on the internet I see what people are saying on Twitter and on

1:08.7

Reddit and with people are writing in their professional reviews. I'm not going to say that this works 100% because I think they

1:16.2

fucked up some of the foundational pieces that would have made this play off beautifully. But you know at some, you gotta have to like declare fan bankruptcy or kind of get rid of your like, you know, when a show tries to do something, it doesn't quite do it, but then it's got to proceed from the standpoint as if it succeeded.

1:33.0

You either stop watching the show or you play along and be like, oh, okay.

1:37.0

So I think there's a little bit of that going on that's the fucking up the FADA side of the business. Everything else I think is is

pretty much firing on all cylinders and I enjoyed the action sequences for what they were.

1:52.3

I thought the dual between Defi and Loy Cannon in his living

1:59.9

room was amazing and really entertaining the watch. A great way for Timothy

2:04.9

allifant to kind of go out on top as a weird bizarre racist Rayland Gibbons.

2:09.9

But yeah I thought I thought it was I was pretty good and I also think that like I'm starting to understand that like this is less a season of Fargo than a morality play that Holly's putting on about immigrants in America.

2:27.0

Okay.

2:28.0

And if you look at it from that perspective, I think it's pretty successful.

2:32.8

I don't know, but I'm, you know, so many people we're going to be talking about this

2:39.7

and in a podcast or on this Wizard of Oz, you thing but like to me this is a this is a tale of like
