Fargo is FX's acclaimed anthology crime series inspired by the Coen Brothers' 1996 film, with each season featuring a new cast and location connected by the same dark, wintry Minnesota sensibility. Starring a rotating cast of A-list actors including Billy Bob Thornton, Kirsten Dunst, Ewan McGregor, and Chris Rock, the show is one of the best anthologies ever made.
All 5 seasons of Fargo stream on Hulu. The show is also available to rent or buy on Prime Video.
Fargo has 5 seasons. Each season is a standalone story with a new cast, though they share a connected universe.
Each season is largely self-contained, but watching in order lets you catch subtle connections. Season 1 is the best entry point.
The show shares the same fictional world as the 1996 film — Season 2 explicitly references the movie's events — but tells its own original stories.
Season 1 (Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman) is widely considered the best. Season 4 (Chris Rock, Jason Schwartzman) is also highly regarded.
