Fargo Season 5 - insufferable woke garbage
You thought S4 was woke? That was nothing compared to this festering turd, which has forever slimed this once great series and made Fargo a show to avoid.
Every white male is either evil or a pathetic weakling. For a show set in Minnesota they couldn't have one straight white male role model??
All heroes were either women and/or minorities. Dot is a tiny woman and yet is easily able to take down multiple beefy white males three times her size as if she’s swatting flies.
Where did she get her Steven Seagal special forces skills from? Nowhere. Just pure Gurl Power 🤦🏻♂️
The other heroes are all minorities. In Minnesota. Our hero cop is an Indian woman who is married to a white man who is, of course, an evil slob who does nothing all day except spend her money, racking up huge debts, while berating her for not serving him sufficiently. Added to which he is cheating on her with a morally feeble attractive white woman.
Another hero cop is a black man. He dies, and it’s revealed that he had six sisters. Dot says ‘no wonder he was so nice’ 🤮
Then there are two heroic FBI agents. One’s an Iranian guy and the other looks like an Iranian lesbian.
The main villain is of course a white male Christian conservative who quotes the bible as he beats women, grooms teenagers and murders innocent people. He’s unable to sexually satisfy his young wife and is into humiliating kink stuff. He and his goober son are a demented Leftist’s wet dream vision of conservatives.
The worst act of wokeness, which pushed this way over the line, was the disgusting and blatant anti-Trump messaging. The villain watches a Trump speech on TV and mutters in approval, and when he summons an army of conservatives online you can read ‘MAGA baby!’ messages 🤦🏻♂️ I’ve never seen such sickening partisan propaganda in a show before. Noah Hawley is an evil sack of shit.
Then there’s the small stuff. Dot’s daughter is called ‘Scotty’. The villain comments on the absurdity of the girl having a boy’s name. Notice how the evil character is given those words, so if you’re also not onboard with gender-bending young kids then you must be evil too!
‘Toxic masculinity’ is everywhere, there’s even a long tracking shot of the villain set to some cover of Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’ 🤮
Let that sink in.
Hard to believe this insipid woke bilge was written by the same guy who made the excellent first three seasons.
The female villain of course switches sides and turns good, joining Dot and Officer Patel in the Gurl Power club. Reminded me of the godawful ending of Spy, when all the women share a wink - we’re all sisters after all, you see, men are the real villains 🤦🏻♂️
Trumpian language like ‘deep state’ is given to the villain, as is ‘witch hunt’, to which our sassy Iranian lesbian smugly replies ‘witch hunts were men hunting women to keep them in line’. You seriously have to wonder if Hawley is on the deep state payroll with devious moves like that.
It’s such a shame because S5 was clearly an attempt to return to the classic style of the series after the ‘experimental’ S4. What they failed to realise is that what really sank S4 was its irritating wokeness. Instead of pulling back on that Hawley has hit the accelerator, and crammed woke so far down the throat of S5 it becomes painful to watch, and squanders what could have been a glorious return to form.
This hateful and devious slice of propaganda posing as entertainment paints a nasty picture of Noah Hawley. He really pulled a bait-and-switch on us. Well, I won’t be watching him take another dump on the good name of Fargo. I’m out.
