Season 4 of Fargo (FX) ended with the confirmation that Satchel Cannon will grow up to be Mike Milligan from season 2. Since Fargo is an anthology series that takes place inside the world of the 1996 movie of the same name, fans are always looking for ways that the seasons are connected. We’ve seen characters, locations, and overall themes pop up in the different chapters that take place over a number of decades.
Fargo season 2 is connected to season 1 in that it’s a prequel. Lou and Molly Solverson are central characters in both, and there are several other appearances from known characters. Grady Numbers and Wes Wrench appear as children in season 2, and then as adults in the first season that go by Mr. Numbers and Mr. Wrench. The latter is the only character to appear in three seasons thus far. Hanzee Dent is an enforcer for the Gerhardt family who eventually betrays them in the 1979 timeline. He gets a new identity and plastic surgery, and becomes the leader of his own Fargo Mob in the 2006 timeline.
The mid-credits scene in episode 11 of season 4 confirms that Satchel Cannon will grow up to be the second season’s Mike Milligan. We realize that he remembers being raised by Rabbi Milligan at the home of the Fadda family, losing him, and then returning home to see his father Loy Cannon die. Later in life he goes to work for the Kansas City Mafia, which is what Ebal Violante turned the Fadda family into. He ultimately works for the organization that brought his father down, and ends the story stuck in an office job for the organization.
The original Fargo movie has one major connection to the TV series. Carl Showalter was killed shortly after burying a suitcase full of money in the snow in the movie. In season 1 of the show we saw Stavros Milos discover the briefcase as he was stranded on the side of the road near Brainerd, Minnesota. Most of the seasons have been in or around Minnesota, with the exception being the fourth season in Kansas City.
Minnesota, Kansas City, Fargo, North Dakota, and South Dakota have all been recurring in the TV series. Mr. Wrench has appeared in the most seasons, and he was the only big connection in season 3. Season 2 has the most connections as we see the prequel characters from Minnesota, and the season 4 characters related to the Kansas City Mafia. Hanzee Dent made the biggest transformation as Moses Tripoli, who doesn’t resemble the original character at all.
This video is a deep dive examination of how all the seasons of Fargo are connected. It explains the connections between the different seasons and the original movie. We talk about our Fargo theories, and discuss Coen Brother references we noticed. Let us know in the comments what easter eggs you found and what your favorite theories are for the rest of the series.

6:15 The Movie Fargo
7:44 Season 1
8:22 Season 3
The fourth season of Fargo, an American anthology black comedy-crime drama television series created by Noah Hawley, premiered on September 27, 2020, on FX, and will consist of 11 episodes. The season was originally scheduled to premiere on April 19, 2020, but this was postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
As an anthology, each Fargo season possesses its own self-contained narrative, following a disparate set of characters in various settings and eras, albeit in a connected shared universe centered around the Midwestern United States and the titular city of Fargo, North Dakota. The fourth season is set in 1950 in Kansas City and the story follows two crime syndicates as they vie for control. The cast is led by Chris Rock, who plays Loy Cannon, the head of a crime syndicate made up of black migrants fleeing the Jim Crow South who have a contentious relationship with the Kansas City mafia. Other cast members include Jessie Buckley, Jack Huston, Jason Schwartzman, Ben Whishaw, and Timothy Olyphant.

Let me know what your favorite connections between the Fargo seasons. Which ones did I miss?
I. Season 3 I remember seeing the silhouette of the God mysterious figure at one scene but surprisingly I'm yet to find a RUclipsr who spotted it
Joe bulo was wearing Donatellos ring in season 2
@@phow21 hmm.. I just looked at episode 4 when he's talking to Floyd. He's got two rings on, but neither looks like Donatello's. Is it from a different scene?
Mike Milligan in Season 2 delivers the same lines as Loy Cannon in Season 4 when talking to the Lou Solverson and US Marshall Deafy respectively, saying the “unfriendly actually, where you feel like you’re doing me a favor”....father-son connection!
@@sidkitobi yeah, I noticed that when it happened in season 4. You reminded me of one I forgot to check. Deafy's death mirroring Malvo's.
"Pretty unfriendly actually. But it's the way you're unfriendly. How you're so polite about it. Like you're doin me a favor." Like father like son.
you didn't include the drop in register they both perform when saying "favor" like it's "fav-ah".
@@shawn6669 indeed..
Oh yeah! When Chris Rock said it, it really stuck with me but I didn't know why. I thought perhaps he had said it earlier in the season, but of course, Mike said it in season 2 yes! Love it when unanswered things that niggle away in your head get answered
@@bobsyouruncle1069 Right on..
This is how I knew without a doubt that Satchel was Mike Milligan.
Fargo is the most underrated show out there. Every season is a masterpiece.
s4 was dogshit and chris rock epically failed the main roll, nobody was scared of that mofo, his acting is not dramatic at all, suits comedy well, but cannot play a mafia boss.
Only seasons that are good is 1 and 2 lol
I agree all the seasons are good.
Every season also has a story line featuring feuding brothers
Not the movie. But yeah, the seasons. Good catch
Oh ya !
They definitely have a formula. Every season has a pet woman or policemen that isn't taken seriously. Like you said they have lifting brothers. It all involves organizing time. And it always starts with someone committing an act that sets off an unrelated series of events that turn out to be very related
Is that foreshadowing some sort of feud between the Coen brithers ?
Actually yeah
A connection or rather an easter egg i caught was in season 2 Peggy and later Ed Blumquist talking about the man pushing the boulder uphill, which is the motive on the 2 cent stamp owned by Emmet Stussy in season 3.
I actually loved season 3. Ewan McGregor’s double performance was incredible
I had no clue until I rewatched it. It honestly felt and looked like two different performers.
You were the only one that liked it I guess
@@rafaelmolinari I started it but couldn't get over his accent lol
I’ve loved all of them
I think people like season 1 and 2 more because they're more action focused, lot more killing, but I think season 3 might have my favorite cast of 4 seasons.
Watching the story in an order of 4, 2, movie, 1, 3 makes things even more incredible.
I watched 4 in quarantine and just now watch 1, 2, & 3 so I did first right the rest wrong 😑
I will have to try this
Margie in the original Fargo: "so,ya think they're connected?
such a great character and performance.
Yaaa
@@diamondjoe100
- Ohh yaaa?
- Yaaa. Mhhmmm....
- Oookey then
I was a little disappointed how Rabbis role ended. I was hoping for more from the writers. He seemed like a survivor.
I agree but mike Milligan probably wouldn’t be where he is in season 2 if rabbi survived
Boy! You said it! Rabbi was my favorite! He was a big brother to Satchel! And knew this! That is why he took his last name and change it to Mike Milligan.
I was a little disappointed at first too. But thinking about it later, I like the nod to A Serious Man (the tornado) and the absurdity of random events that change the course more than any of the characters could. Such events are prominent in the Coen Universe (think of the flood in O Brother) or someone tripping on a drive way and shooting themselves.
Notice how the dog in season 4 is named Rabbit? Get it? Rabbi-t.
Rabbi was a dead man walking from the get go. Too tortured and conflicted to make out alive in this universe.
My favorite connection from season four is to Coen brother's Raising Arizona, with the classic line, "Son, you got a panty on your head" being changed to "Girl, you got a panty on your head." Cracks me up every time I think of it. I'm easily entertained.
Nothing wrong with that. It makes me think of Raising Arizona and how I need to watch it again.
Having a coen shared universe would be awesome and not much of a stretch
Also the prison break out with the lesbians
I love a man who's easily entertained.
The park where Canon & Fadda have their meeting is the same park where Wrench & Numbers are fighting when they first meet Hanzee
Good eye.
Now I want to rewatch them chronologically. The scene at the bowling alley gives me big Lebowski vibes.
this dude totally abides, i thought the same thing
I thought the same thing but I was also confused by the scene at first I thought she was dead then It got weird when he asks if a bowling alley is what she sees ... implying It wasn’t real in TBL the bowling alley is real so idk
Just watched season 04, then 02, then 01 and finally 03. It was great. :)
I thought maybe it was like heaven or something cause the guy had the cat as the same name as her man
@@danielj9516 I think the bowling alley is like some sort of purgatory or in-between realm. Nikki and Wrench are given another chance because Leland judges their actions and determines them to be noble. Then when Yuri Gurka shows up, he’s judged harshly for the murder of his girlfriend and is not given a second chance. That aside, the shot of them sitting together at the bar is definitely a Big Lebowski reference.
Season 3 is my favourite season. Varga is a terrific villain and the story is superb.
I think the 3rd season of Fargo is the most polarizing season of TV ever.
@@wrequiem1727 I concur.
I agree. Season 3 is when I went from liking Fargo to loving it. Mainly because of the teaming up of Nikki Swango and Mr Wrench.
@@rachelw5040 totally! Was a superb twist.
@@simonread8713 I find myself yearning for a spin-off show featuring those characters, although I know it's impossible!
Not necessarily connections as much as Easter Eggs maybe, but In the movie, when Mike Yanagita and Margie meet, he mentions that he lives in Eden Prairie, where part of Season 3 takes place. Also in season 3, Emmit's dog (whose ashes Ray finds) is named Luverne, after the town in season 2.
Anyone remember josto telling bulo about the ladder that goes nowhere, 20 years later bulo has gone nowhere, he is still middle management
When he said that it made me think of Mike mulligan
You know what? We still know NOTHING about the wolf Ghost, Lorne Malvo. He simply appears and disappears at will. Malvo maybe my favorite character of ALL of Fargo because of that.
The fact that we dont know much about him is what makes him so eerie
Malvo had some honor in the things he did in the beginning of the season but by the end he had lost all of it. I think the Wolf was like his spirit animal and came to watch him die since he'd strayed so much.
@@djcjr1x1 Actually it was the riddle which Malvo asked Gus grimly to which Molly Solverson gives an answer . The riddle is why do humans recognize so many different tones of green? Bescause in the past humans were made that way to be able to spot predators in the forested areas. And i think at the end the wolf which represents the predator that has found and got his prey smelled malvos blood and went to look around and malvo is at the moment allready resignated and undestands his death is imminent and that he got hunted by another predator Lester / Gus which he probably allready hears. Gus grimly then tells him he got the answer to his riddle before he kills him.
@@jedlabedla5893 Good possiblity on that interpretation I never considered that. Maybe it's a bit of both. 👍
Really makes me excited for a possible season 5. I’d like a back story on Nikki too. I didn’t care for her character very much and I want to like her because her and wrench went so hard core at the end.
My read on Varga's organization is that it was the evolution of Kansas City, since 2 ends with Milligan taking over the "financial desk." That was bolstered by 4, with Milligan's father basically inventing credit cards and creatively laundering through businesses. Cannon does to the Smutny's funeral parlor exactly what Varga does to Stussy's parking lots.
Good catch
Varga is doing a pump and dump, Cannon wants territory.
I always liked how they kept lou's Hobby of tying knots while he's sitting outside.
Also the themes of Kings in fargo are really interesting "parking lot king of Minnesota", "supermarket king of Minnesota" the "accordian king".
Great video!
Gave me a laugh remembering all the "kings of Minnesota" putting this together
It's America, brother. We don't do kings.
@@ShirDeutch Man, I love Year 2.
Mike Milligan: "Which is who I am: your King."
Ricky: "This is America brother. We don't do Kings."
Mike Milligan: "Oh, we do. We do. We just call them something else."
Fer sure...but ,hey, aren't ya forgetting the Sofa King? Yeah, you betchya!
Love the wizard of oz reference in season 4 when rabbi satchel are in Kansas. Also peter and the wolf reference in season 3. Lovvvvve this show!!!!
I loved the relationship between Nikki and Mr Wrench
5:54, 8:14 Hanzee/Moses is the biggest stretch. Hanzee is very native. I guess he asimulates himself, not only does he get plastic surgery, but he gains the ability to grow a thick beard and loses his accent is now fluent european english. Hanzee was a very interesting. well-developed character who erases himself with Moses Tripoli. They had a wonderful Native American narrative that they eradicated. I wish Moses Tripoli had something in common, something we'd recognise, as Hanzee.
Hanzee Dent: "Not apprehend. Dead. Don't care "heavily-guarded". Don't care "into the sea". Kill and be killed. Head in a bag."
Moses Tripoli: "Not apprehend. Dead. Don’t care extramarital, don’t care not related, kill and be killed. Head in a bag. There’s the message."
@@alphadogg64 neaots!
Perhaps, dude, Hanzee was indeed Moses but how about this theory. Somehow during or after Malvo did all the killings in the building, Hanzee and his crew made it look like he died but actually didn't. I couldn't say the specifics of what could've happened. Just that it is hard for me to believe that somehow the ppl in the top floor couldn't hear Malvo coming up and do something. Also if we look at a syndicate or gang (idk) like V.M. Varga's they know how to do absurd things to cover up tracks. Who knows. Crazy theory but if it were true trust me I'll be grinning... ear to ear.
Beard, skin color etc. Also I didn't see anything in his character to suggest he'd enjoy being a fat mob boss.
Possibly, "Moses Tripoli" has turned more into a title, rather than a personal name. This way, Hanzee could've still founded the Fargo syndicate, yet not be the person we see in season 1, who is actually his successor. It doesn't add much narratively, but it's a convenient way of explaining the visual discrepancies.
We better get a season on how Hanzee Dent retook Fargo from the Mob.
A season set in the 90s has so many possibilities of connections and returning chracters
The problem is that we all know how it ends. I think Malvo’s story would be interesting but these seasons have tailored off.
@@strafer8764 I just want a scene with a hitman at a hitman party where we have Lorne Malvo watching the guy knock his glass eye out into his drink.
@@robrifkin571 that would be a bad ass season with the main character some bad ass Hitman set out to kill Mike Milligan in the 90’s and runs into Hanzee in the process, somehow getting that Lorne Malvo scene in there as well
@@patrickk___ How about Nikki Swango's dad/uncle?
...Hanzee's a Gerhardt isn't he? It's basically the Fargo mythos best kept secret. Ricky drops a line at the end of season 2 when he asks Mike "Which one are you? The one Otto had with the maid?" and Dodd was always calling Hanzee a "half breed". I feel like Otto and Dodd knew and almost nobody else did, possibly not even Hanzee.
Edit: I'm not sure about season 3, but seasons 1, 2 and 4 all have people or places named Pearl. Lester's wife (s1), Pearl Hotel (s2) and Ethelrida's middle name (s4). I'm rewatching season 3 right now and I'm checking for anything named Pearl as I go.
Whoa about Hanzee. Good theory.
@@BenjaminHSmith yeah cos I mean the gherhearts are German/American so are deffo not "pure breeds" the only that is (we're lead to believe) is hanzee, full blooded native American, native, not a migrant, about as pure as you can get I suppose so it was weird he kept calling him "half breed" I didn't catch that last line but if it's said how you say then yeah deffo an illegitimate gherhearts , not sure if he knows or not could explain in both senses why he betrayed them, he didn't know they were family so the betrayal was all good, or he did and the woman wasn't his real mum so didn't mind killing her, the taunting and virtual slavery from dod mayne just as easily explains why knowing might cause him to do it too, his "dad" is dead so it seems after that he goes rogue, is that timeline right he goes rogue after old man gherheart is finally killed after the stroke amd all that?
Fargo has many paths they can go down. The connections between seasons adds a lot. Fargo is always entertaining. Let's hope the writers and the producers don't lose their energy.
I am here from the future to tell you that season 5 is awesome!!!
End of season 3, Mr Wrench kills Emmit Stussy in his kitchen five years later.
What was the drive for that?
@@jagmaharesi2486 to fulfill nikki's wish
@@kieranmorris that was so satisfying tbh, that they barely knew each other but knew to work together. I also think her giving him all that money probably made him whole in some sense and maybe thats why he completed her wish?
@@jagmaharesi2486 The arrangement he had with Nikki Swango.
They need one more season to tie all of these together...it’s possible, and would be something the likes of which no show has ever done..I’ll keep my fingers crossed
I am keeping my fingers crossed with you, I was thinking the same thing.
LadyDiaVa I would love to see all kinds of scenes from different vantage points...imagine following another character when Lorne Malvo massacres the entire Fargo operation...man that would be sweet
Kind of like they should have done for LOST.
NCEXNYC My idea would be going back even further, like the movie gangs of New York just in a Fargo filming style...I think that would be so cool
Said all The Game of Thrones fans. 🤦♀️
Something that doesn't get talked about much is that in season 1, Malvo relocates to Kansas City and becomes a dentist so he can work a guy whose brother is in witness protection due to informing on a Chicago mob. The fact that it's in Kansas City may be unrelated, but interesting nonetheless considering what a big role KC would play in later seasons.
Thanks for this! The writing for this show is amazing and the more connections that are made/discovered, the more I am impressed.
Perfect timing, I just watched the last episode of season 4 and was shocked to see Satchel grow up to be Mike Milligan
LOL I didn't stick around to see that. I only found out about that by watching these recap videos.
@@ncexnyc4466 It ended pretty good, I don’t like how they say it’s a true story and use aliens or tornadoes out of nowhere though.
I kind of figured out when the show kept putting so much focus on his story line, sure enough when I saw the car at the end, almost jumped out my recliner
@@getontheark8448 was a ton of UFO sightings in the 70s in Minnesota,including a famous one in 1979,Val Johnson,a cop,crashing b/c he saw one
@@romanchannel69
Maybe Statchel lied to the progress of his plan, this character is a good strategic
This is great! I just started watching season 5 and decided to start re-watching previous seasons while waiting for new episodes. This show is truly brilliant. Thanks for putting this info all together!
Absolutely Brilliant. Nobody does a better breakdown on RUclips. I wish Pete could breakdown all my favorite shows.
This is validating. I just watched the finale of season 4 yesterday and I had heard nothing about Satchel being Milligan, but I just had this feeling that he was. Very thrilled this is confirmed. (I didn't even realize Rabbi's surname was Milligan lol. Must have missed that).
There’s a post credit scene at the end of season 4 that’s shows Mike Milligan
@@Christopher-ms5ke Also his name is Milligan which he probably took after Rabbi Milligan who saved him when he was a kid
There is nothing like FARGO i absolutely loved this tv masterpiece!
☝🏿🖤😔💯
Great work putting this together! The connection to the original movie blew my mind.
Season 3 is my favorite. The Bowling Alley scene and the last episode are amazing.
Biggest missed connection to me: the way the mob organization was so faceless and “middle management” from season 2 and 3. 4, ultimately, was the origin story of the syndicate as a whole.
Yea like it was a chapter itself. Nice catch.
Great tie-in video! Thanks for posting. You're awesome for this.
Great work! I've been waiting for a proper analysis of all seasons and their connections
THIS is all I wanted for Christmas this year!
Also in season 1, Stavros goes to the Gustafson Parking garage and has a similar interaction with the gate attendant as Carl Showalter in the Film. I'm not sure if this would be the garage that Jerry and Wade were going to build or the garage that Wade was killed at though. Still an interesting connection.
Episode 9 of Season 2 is narrated by Martin Freeman, who plays Lester Nygaard in Season 1. The History of True Crime in the Midwest is written by someone named Brixby, so definitely not the same character as who he played in Season 1, but got a kick out of hearing him on my re-watch.
also Billy Bob Thornton narrates the Peter and The Wolf opening to Season 3 episode 4
Jason Schwartzman narrates aswell in season 5 episode 5
Season 2 was/is my favorite...
May I ask why? Not trying to be rude just not sure if I missed something, it's my personal least favorite, I found it was hard to care about a lot of the characters , with some lazy writing, and moments that felt unnecessarily forced.
The Hanzee killing spree was my favorite part
@@PenguinIceDelta i thoroughly liked season 2 but still liked season 1 better. Season 1 just didn't have any characters I didn't enjoy seeing on the screen.
I have only watched 1 2 and 3 and they go in order from favourite to least favourite. 1 has the best and most intimate feel to it , 2 was just an all around enjoyable mayhem of a season , and 3 was decent but a little flat to me. The best part was Vargas. If he could have been in season 1 somehow it would never be topped on TV.
@@Raaaa10331 I think S1 would have been too crowded with Malvo and Vargas personally
I love that Wrench and Numbers have their own theme song. It starts playing when she's going to jail, so you know exactly who she's sitting next to.
Excellent video Pete! I'd like to see more connections to season 3 as well.
In a future video, presenting all Coen brothers homages would be just as great as this video.
Yeah, I might do something like that in the future.
They need to make an entire series or a movie about how young Satchel becomes Mike Milligan..from childhood to adulthood.
It felt to me that Varga and the IRS investigation was a thematic continuation of modernizing crime from where we leave Mike in S2. While it's not the job Mike imagined, he's put in perhaps a really good spot to begin money laundering and large scale fraud, resulting in "faceless" men like Varga who impose their capital to devour others. Which leaves me with an open thought on the Fargo film and Stan's $900k as if riches are a cursed object that enables a lack of decency.
Great upload btw, been jonesing for Fargo content, thanks.
This "riches as a curse" analogy makes a lot of sense for the stamps in season 3, too.
I really enjoyed all your connections and didn’t realised the two boys playing baseball were Mr Wrench and his friend. I noticed a few small things like the music on the radio while Peggy is packing her suitcase is the same song being sang on stage in the film when Steve Busemi takes an escort to a dinner show - “Let’s get together tonight”. I just watched all back to back lockdown fever!
I wonder if Steve Buscemi & Peter Stormare from the movie were working for Hanzee/the Fargo mob. That would be an interesting & plausible connection.
And that would work cause Kansas takes hold of Fargo just before the 80’s I believe, giving Hanzee enough to take Fargo again and hire those two eventually just before the movie happens.
@@patrickk___ Exactly. The timeline & location fits just fine. Right.
In my head Cannon Shep Proudfoot is Hanzee Dents illegitimate child but nobody believes him due to the plastic surgery and that's why he knows Stromare
@@joebaker2311 Interesting. Idk about that though. Proudfoot doesn't seem that much younger than Hanzee. Perhaps he's just someone from a broken home or something Hanzee took in after realizing his potential or whatever, just like what the Gerharts did for him. Hanzee was known to recruit underdog misfits for his schemes after all. Wrench and Numbers aka
Love season 3. Swango is an iconic character. And the whole season feels in tune with the world the Coen's created with the original film.
I just rewatched both and that's an excellent point.
9:36 The Big Lebowski reference
It reminded me of that since i saw it for the very first time
Thanks for the breakdown... I really like the the Fargo movie/series... I’m fighting the urge to rewatch them all...
There's a lot of subtle little connections to other Coen Brothers films as well: like Ray Stussy using the word "micturate" (à la Big Lebowski) to describe his parolees peeing on his shoes, or how (SPOILERS) Bear getting Simone to kneel down in the forest before killer her matches that famous scene/poster from Miller's Crossing, or even the bowling alley where Wrench and Nikki end up, which besides sharing a setting with Big Lebowski ALSO features a wise stranger showing up next to them at the bar. Ok now my favourite: Jesse Plemons as Ed and Steve Buscemi (in the 1996 movie) both say they're "going crazy down at the lake" while holding someone hostage in a cabin. There are tons of others, love the references!
Yeah they're always deep cuts you don't always notice the first go around! At one point Varga goes: "now I'm talking about Lenin, not that bloody walrus" which has to be a reference to Donnie confusing Lenin and Lennon in The Big Lebowski.
Season 5 should focus on Hanzee and how he rose to the top of his organization, but most of it would have to be pre-surgery.
Had no idea that was Hanz later on in life thanks for this video!
In Season Three where we see old Mr. Stussey watching TV shortly before he is killed by having his nose and mouth glued shut, the scene on the black and white TV shows lights from overhead circling around on the ground around some people in a parking lot. It is, in fact, a snippet from the motel shootout scene from Season Two where the UFO is hovering overhead and shining a light down on Trooper Solverson and Bear Gehrhardt fighting to the death hand to hand. So old Mr. Stussey in Season Three is watching a scene from Season Two on TV. I love it.
I was wondering if anyone was going to mention this one. Thanks for adding it. Very small, but interesting connection.
For what's it's worth. I consider my self an astute Fargo fan from season one and you still learned me a thing or two lol. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for putting all of this together.
No problem, thanks for watching.
Also, josto says aces like malvo when hes prtend8ng to be a dentist
Whew! A lot of work went into this. My wife and I just started binging Fargo a couple weeks ago and actually started with Season 5 because it was the first to pop up on Hulu. We THEN realized there were four previous seasons so we went back to ONE. Because we are binging and not letting some stuff "sink in", I am a bit confuseled on the connections. Thanks for this... and at some point I will probably watch again in order.
Best show on TV, hands down
I do agree, although I am a big fan of "The Wire" and "Black Sails". But this is the best one, so far.
Season 2 was easily the dopest one
@Alfred Dingoworth yes this season was a complete mess
Hands down...a meat grinder.
I hope for the final season Mollie and Gloria partner up to take down the actual Fargo Crime Syndicate and an older Mike Milligan is the final antagonist.
mike milligan can only be a protagonist, never an antagonist.
Mike must already be in his 70s after the events of S3
Naw. I hope we get a season where all the cops die.
Thank you for this Pete
Well done. Season 3 with Nicky Swango sitting in the bowling alley is definitely a reference to the bowling alley scenes in Big Lebowski. Same look. Same camera angles.
Great breakdown!🙌🏾✨
the tv series was an absolute
i am amazed it is not talked about that much
it has a lot of elements done to perfection
Oraetta Mayflower said that she has a disease that makes her vomit all her food, just like the main villain of season 3, V. M. Varga...
YES!
I think he is a little to young and a little to foreign to be her child.
But I would have baby’s with Oretta Mayflower 😍 after we’re married of course
I think Varga makes himself puke, I'm pretty sure there's a scene that involves him sticking his fingers down his throat. I remember thinking how much of a waste of food it was. lol
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr he's bulimic
Where is that mentioned in Season 4? I missed that.
Season 3 is my favorite! Stellar cast and great story. I also wish for more connections to it in the continued timeline in future seasons.
Nice work on this
I’ve only seen episode 01 of season 5. So many parallels with the original Cohen bros. movie. Love this series more than almost anything on TV.
Wow I like how it's all tied in..From now I'm going to really start watching the shows closely.
Awesome video I knew there were some connections but that really put everything together
I followed your analysis of Better Call Saul. I'm glad you also discuss Fargo. Looking forward to your analysis of season 5 of Fargo!
Thanks for the video - great summary. Is there a similar video summarizing the supernatural phenomena across the storyline?
This would be a great idea for another video!
@@nateg3998 Yes, we totally need this. No one talks of it.
Please yes. Because the only ones I noticed were the obvious ones like the ufo and Snowman. I don’t consider the tornado being one because that’s common in the Midwest. But even on watch mojo it was mentioned that there are multiple supernatural events.
I seen all four seasons everyone was great and they're all the way I can't wait for future episodes.
awesome video! best one ive seen about the Fargo/ true crimes of the midwest universe!
The final scene twist at the season 4 was just perfect. One of the best TV shows ever.
I still wonder how Joe Bulo had a late growth spurt and ended up being 6'8"
wow. great breakdown. thanks.
Thanks Pete for your hard work on this
This actually did take some time to put together haha
@@PetePeppers1 it’s obvious it did. Thanks again for the huge effort💋👏
Hanzee was a tough warrior. How could he let himself killed so easily by Malvo especially with the fact that he has time to prepare for the confrontation with all that shooting noise. But Fargo still is a masterpiece.
Great interview
Really good video!
Great video! I completely missed that Ray Ramano's brother was in season 4. I would have added though that Ray Wise's charactor in season 3, especially because of the bowling alley, was very similar to Sam Elliot's cowboy in 'The Big Lebowski.'
Would’ve thought Bulo would move up further than he did after 2 decades.
doesn't the mob promote from within?
I always wondered in the ghost/zombie character in season 4 was a time travelling kill victim from Seasons 1,2 or 3. Just finished season 4 - so I need to watch more background videos. Love this one and your other content!
I just like to ignore the fact that Hanzee became Moses Tripoli, so much so that I don't watch season 1. I'll never be convinced that a guy as careful and meticulous as Hanzee got murdered by Malvo.
And let himself get so old, fat, and complacent. He doesn't even look close to similar. Wish they didn't throw that in
@@tony_dogs He can't control his aging lol. Of course his skills would deteriorate over time
He has become old and he already got a plastic surgery And Malvo was Satan type guy Who would have thought one guy would even enter HQ and slaughter everyone
In the business they’re in, makes sense. Especially when he wasn’t in his prime no more, unlike malvo
@@tony_dogs remember surgery coupled with age never looks good on anyone 😂
great video :) underrated!!
That was awesome!
just finished season 4. thank you for this video
Great recap of all of the connections! One question: i could have sworn it was little Dodd Gearhart, not dad Otto, who killed Kellerman in the movie theatre (by stabbing him in the back) in 1951. Otto then wiped everyone else out with a gun. Am I wrong? Thanks again for a great video.
Oh geez, you're right. Otto brings Dodd, and he's the one that stabbed him. Probably should have made that clearer since the clip is brief.
Oh ya !
My favorite element of the show is the supernatural! Don’t remember if the first season had it, but the rest sure did. The UFOs, Cursed ghost, and the mysterious guy from the airplane. Especially when the show wouldn’t focus on it, but just enough to have you wanting more!
Ok yeah the mystery guy from the plane was the one I completely forgot about so twilight zone. The one thing I don’t understand is why he was only the plane with the Gloria
Malvo felt supernatural at times. He has an uncanny ability to disappear and survives wounds longer than what should be humanly possible.
Great video. Love the show.
Here from Baldmove. Thanks for filling in!
Well done bro
Great video!
Ngl all of the Fargo seasons and the movie was a really cool experience to watch
Great video
season 3 is my favorite, cheers
Geeze. I'm here patiently waiting for any connection to those weird UFOs you might have there,ya know?
Actual event that took place back around that time. State trooper in the 70s claimed to have been abducted. They just threw it in because it was a common claim in the 70s that people were seeing UFOs
@@David-fz2ik It's also a direct reference to The Man Who Wasn't There
@@Spremington Not really, since the setting is 1949 California.
@@Chris-js6oz nah it definitely is a TMWWT reference. theres hella references to other Coen brother's IP throughout the Fargo series.
@4:27 - Notice that Joe Bulo is in the passenger rear seat with Gayle Kitchen (reddish brown jacket) driving along an open road. At the end of season 4, Mike is now sitting where Joe was (after his decapitation) and Gayle is still driving (before meeting the same fate via Hanzee). Then at the end of season 2, we see Mike in his new office. Thus we can assume that Mike has Joe's old position in the organization... before he is gunned down (assuming) by Lorne.
