The only supernatural stuff I remember in Fargo was dumb and random and in season 2.

Another extremely good show that nobody talks about anymore was The Knick. 2 seasons, short and sweet.

It remains very much a show of human fuckups, it's more like one section of the pie has a light dusting of the supernatural.

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
I really like the new Tick show despite season 2 not having much of a budget.

I'm all about this topic now because I just started watching Twin Peaks. I've never seen it before and what a blast it is.

Season 2 is a very uneven experience. Starts of great and then sags in the middle, but by the time you reach the end of the season it’s back in full form.

I watched episode 1 of The Terror and it really didn't seem anything like Chernobyl. As far as I know it leans far more into supernatural horror. That's quite a different beast from what one might call scientific horror.
I never implied they were similar in any way other than they're both great and feature English dudes (and in particular, Jared Harris). Well that and how utterly hosed everyone is.

I liked Fargo's second season even more than the first. Mostly because of performances.

I felt like they wanted to top it with the third and it was too convoluted and I lost interest.

Yes and it's really good but bleak and depressing af in a way that probably destroyed people back then.

I kinda agree with this.

It’s only 3 seasons but drat it’s a good 3 seasons.

It can be a slow burn with a few threads that don’t go anywhere but overall it’s great.

Somehow it just never gelled for me. I watched 2.5 seasons and just forgot to watch the last half of the final season. I just didn't care about any of it.

Huh, well now I know what to watch tonight.

I've never seen Oz really except for that one SNL sketch where they parodied "The Contest" from Seinfeld, but I didn't realize it was still on the air when season 1 of Venture Brothers came out. I suspected this, but can anyone confirm that the prison episodes from S1 are parodying Oz?

In school our chemistry teacher used to drive an RV and we were all dicks to him anyway so I dread to think the absolute roasting he must have got if he was still working there when Breaking Bad was popular.

It was. 100 percent. They even use a slightly off key version of the Oz intro music.
