I love Malvo's commitment to his goals. It really feels like it isn't something he needs to do for his job, it's what he needs to do to exist. Love this show!
Exactly, weirdly similar to Lou Bloom in Nightcrawler
@@JamesVSCinema
I wouldn’t be surprised if they were pen pals.
Mans living the dream, gets paid to do what he loves.
"HAVEN’T HAD A PIE LIKE THAT SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN" is the best line in season 1
Lester's journey from a sympathetic beaten down rube to an absolute colossal piece of shit is some next level character writing. I love how much I hate him by the end.
What a crazy and brilliant character development hahaha
@@JamesVSCinema If you think he can't get worse in the last episode, he does (edit: oops, I forgot he killed his second wife in this episode). ;-) (But I'm sure these videos are on delay and you've already figured that out. Can't wait to see the next one and seasons 2 and 3. 4 was blah because it was Covid-rushed and just lacked the spark of the first three. Season two stands out as the best to me of them all.
@@EliChristman i thought season 4 was still better than the majority of current running shows, just not up to par with the other seasons. Still a high 7/10 for me
@@Flaming_penguin Very true. I just hope season 5 is better than 4.
agreed. his ending was satisfying enough but I wish he'd gotten it worse honestly
Lester felt invincible. That was his downfall.
Malvo and Lou scene is my favorite scene from this entire season. Just masterful.
The scene with Malvo and Lou in the diner always makes me really appreciate how well the show did in making Malvo just like, the epitome of danger. Just the most menacing character possible. He was in the diner being civil and polite and only there to ask for directions, but it made me so worried for Lou and Molly. Moreso than any other scene with him, that one in particular always just makes me realize how whenever I see a character even near Malvo, I worry they might be killed, lol, as if he's the Grim Reaper or just Death personified. It just hits me harder than any other villain or murderer in other shows.
There’s heavy imagery throughout the series that he is some sort of Devil. Like the elevator scene where the blood makes it like he has wings.
There's cold, and then there's "using your adoring and innocent wife as a decoy for a madman" cold.
Gotta admit, I love Malvo's new look.
Yeah he doesn’t look like an awkward sociopath. Lmfao
This episode it so great at showing malvo as the devil by the elevater scene where the blood looks like devilish wings and his line "i havent had apple pie this good since the garden of eden"
Love the framing with the blood splatter making him look like an angel of death or somethings its so good
This show is top tier!
My man James, a close friend of mine died a couple days ago so I've been marathoning all your videos non stop. Your channel is peak comfort, especially got a good laugh out of your Signs reaction. Keep doing you mate you’re killing it out here
My condolences, stranger.
all love to you and your friend. dedicating my thoughts to y’all
I really hope you react to season 2 the best season, it makes Lou Solversons character iconic.
Lorne Malvo has to be the best tv villain of all time, my man is literally the personification of some primordial evil. It's also some next-level acting from Billy Bob Thornton to be able to pull that off.
I think the point here is that Lester seriously just wanted to win that game of chicken. He wanted to establish dominance over Malvo, which ironically is something Malvo taught him.
But then Malvo just showed they were playing completely different games by murdering 3 people without blinking. Gotta have the killer instinct to back up that kind of macho posturing.
he stirred up the shit because he believed his own hype. believed that he was the man. he was in control. and that's why good things are happening to him. he believed that the only way that would continue is to just keep going with his newfound mojo.
Plus, seeing Malvo again brought back his old feelings of feeling small and meek, and he HATED it. He needed to somehow 'prove himself' as someone worthy of Malvo acknowledging him.
SO many people died because Lester replied, "yes". But even if he said "no", I figure those three from the elevator would have died eventually in his effort to cover his tracks.
Billy Bob is an absolute legend. Love this episode, can’t wait for your reaction of S2!
As my grandma used to say; “Lester got a little too big for his britches” never poke bear or better yet wolf
Hey I’ve been around since the beginning of ur channel and haven’t commented in a long time but I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you and ur channel and all the good vibes you bring to this genuine community. I love that u r so real with ur expressions and the passion that you bring towards ur words. The Schindler’s list reaction really got to me and I’m looking forward towards ur progression. 파이팅!
I really hope you'll also react to season 2, cause that one is even better imo. One of the best seasons of any tv show, I think.
"You want need a coat where we go" he said. Lester planned to sacrifize her, he is cowardly evil...
Billy Bob and Stephen Root together are golden.
When I first saw that 'See you soon' shot, when it aired, shook me to the point that all I could think is that Malvo is literally the devil. Those wings of blood are such a great visual!
Lester's ego became his undoing. He thought, having gotten away with murder, that meant he was Malvo's equal. He was dead wrong.
Linda was loyal. But to the wrong person. If only she had realize that before it was too late.
I can’t wait for you to start watching Season 2. It’s even better than Season 1. And that’s already a tough hill to climb.
Will be up this week on Patreon!
I agree, most people think season 1 is the best but season two ups the game on every level.
I like you dude. You got a real smooth and slick intelligent way about you. Like, a fer real critic reaction rather than just another regular alcoholic who throws down while watching a movie on their reaction channel! And I watch a good number of reaction channels. Hopefully you'll do a live stream sometime soon!
Malvo is the embodiment of evil. He was able to transfer his evil to Lester.
This episode was intense. Loved your reactions!
It took me re-watching the series to notice this but Lester does worse than just watch his wifes murder. He; stops Linda from going back for her coat, offers the coat he was wearing when he met Malvo and gets her to put the hood on before entering the shop... He straight up sacrifices her
Bro Malvo’s name kicked your ass this whole series 😂
You should definitly react Beasts of No Nation one of the greatest films out there.
"Aces"
Man please start season 2 right after this one ends
Ironic, old Lester would have backed down and walked away. But the new Lester, the confident one, couldn't take a no for an answer.
I've changed my mind over this over the years. But I actually think it was the right move from Lester to bash him over the head. I think Lorne Malvo sees this like a game. And any time Lester tries to get one over him, or tries to make things difficult for him he takes it on as a challenge. If Lester just gave in and helped him dispose of the bodies, I think Lester would be amongst the bodies by the end of it.
but there's honor amongst.... mur...der..ers.nevermind
I like to think Malvo is also the embodiment of Pride as well or something for that matter and he's like a cancer because Lester doesn't act like this way until he runs into him in the hospital. He is a sympathetic beaten down person until he meets Malvo. Then things go south. But Then after escaping the police, after framing his brother, getting a new wife, getting salesman of the year, he throws it all away when he runs into Malvo again in Vegas.
Awesome reaction James
can you please take a look at the tv series Hannibal? I genuinely think you'd love it since the cinematography and the storytelling were phenomenal because I think you are really interested in these things.
Im telling you man, David Lynch and Mark Frost's Twin Peaks is worth your time.
You should check out Billy Bob Thornton's Sling Blade.
I recommend "Goliath" on Amazon Prime, starring Billy Bob Thornton (Malvo) as a lawyer who takes on big corruption cases (one per season). Fourth season just aired. Same quality show as Fargo. Stacked casting as well.
*Haven't had a piece of pie like that since the Garden of Eden 😀*
Excuse me, sir, your shirt is awesome!
Don’t be sad cause season 2 is even better
This is a very good series. I hope you go through all seasons. You should also add Mr In-between to your agenda. 💯
i love that you love fargo s1! please please please watch all 4 seasons! they only get better
season 2 is prolly some of the best tv i have ever seen
Can you please react to SANTA CLARITA DIET (zombie alert!), a brilliant show with ONLY 30episodes/20min long so you can finish it pretty fast! Joel & Sheila's relationship is AWESOME to watch! Drew Barrymore is such an amazing actress & we get the sexy TImothy Olyphant with his awkward smile in the perfect/worst situations... The beginning is a bit slow so please give it a chance, a few episodes and you will be hooked! Also WRECKED (Lost "parody") another brilliant show with also only 30ep/20min long! :)
Loving your reactions! I would love to see you react to The man in the high castle with Rufus Sewell, and Westworld :)
Love your channel, really good choices in movies!
I want to recommend Tim Burtons Big Fish and Willow, starring Val Kilmer among others.
Lester began to believe his own hype, got too cocky, & now he's fucked.

Have a great day everyone!
If Lester had said no in the elevator he would have ben who he was befor.
I’m getting into this series too!
Noice!
Hoookay then
Please do season two and maybe four if your feeling up to it
you know what i think about this episode? 👉 aces 👉
Aces!
Also - and without being funny - this is how you shoot a murder scene without a death on the set. With framing, there really is no need to point a gun at someone.
Watch the man who shot liberty valance great great one
ACES

hey plss watch dune

Love your pfp haha
Thanks man, love your channel. Hope you continue reaction to Fargo. Season one may be the best, but each season offers something unique and is filled with outstanding performances. Criminally underrated series.
Yeah, while the elevator scene is absolutely great, I agree, it shouldnt have happened in the first place. Lester knows Malvo, he knows what Malvo does, he knows he's a killer. Once he tells him "walk away!" then, drunk or not, he would have figured "oh shit, he's working some angle here and I nearly outed him" and then realized that if he pressed it it would not end well. I get that they wanted to have them enter eachothers lives again, but they shouldve done that in a way which would be consistent with the character.
Like, the whole thing could've even been done the same way, minus Lester going to the elevator. The fact that Lester seems to know him at the table as someone other than the dentist he pretends to be, obviously wouldve made Malvo's mark suspicious, and it wouldnt be a big stretch if the writers made that suspicion so big as to call off the whole taking Malvo to meet his brother who is in witness protection and Malvo being pissed at Lester for blowing it for him, and the rest could then play out as is.
Also, side note, it was just horrible improvisation on Malvo's part as well, which is also inconsistent with his character. You could see that when he was brought in by Gus that he is great at improvising and adapting to the situation very fast. When Lester approached him he could have just seized control of the encounter and said something like "hey! Lester! wow, it's been so long! your teeth look great btw, [and noticing the award] see didnt I tell you that fixing your teeth would work wonders for your confidence; look at you, winning... salesman of the year; good for you Lester! Guys this is Lester, I pretty much fixed his entire mouth, oh, about a year ago now, oh let me tell ya, it was a mess", yadda yadda yadda... all the while sending Lester a look that says "play along if you know whats good for you". All suspicion avoided
The thing is that Malvo didn't really care that Lester ruined his cover. He just treated it as a mild inconvenience as displayed by his reaction. Malvo is a guy that just does what he wants as long as chaos is involved. I dont think its inconsistent at all considering how calm and in conteol he always is.
Off-topic but, better to ask for forgiveness than beg for permission, right?
I notice you did Band of Brothers.
What I'd love to see from a filmmaker is a compare and contrast in storytelling style, cinematography, impact, and filmmaker's motivation between The Pacific and Band of Brothers.
We've seen reviews and reactions, but to my knowledge, there's no one that really broke it all down from a technical point of view. Especially using two different series set in the same time period by the same production crew.
You might even pair the episodes 1/1 from each. So, ep1 BoB alongside ep 1 The Pac, then 2/2, etc.
Extra like for the beautiful Jiji-shirt =)
Since the Garden of Eden . Malvo=Devil .
Aces!!
