Fargo: Bisquik (2024)
Just Wow.
I'm a huge fan of Fargo. I honestly think it's one of the greatest shows ever made. Now after witnessing this season finale for Season 5 I'm inclined to name this season the best of all. Before this episode I wasn't convinced this was the best season. (I'd say that honor would go to Season 2, though I am a sucker for seasons 1 & 3 as well. Season 4 wasn't that great to me personally)... I am just sooo thoroughly impressed by how Noah Hawley was able to end this season so perfectly. I mean he ties up everything including the paranormal and metaphorical themes of the season so effortlessly you'd think he started writing it in the age of the carrier pigeon.... My hats off to everyone involved. I honestly don't want to ruin anything about the episode. At first I thought the episode might be blowing its load a little early with the main story's resolution. I figured we'd get 10 mins of action and the rest would be blah blah blah happy family but that's not the case here fellow Fargo enthusiasts. The tension stays ramped till the very last shot and while I was watching it my mouth was wide open just savoring every last word... I know a lot of people might not like the ending to this season but for my money it's the best episode of the entire season. For me Episode 10 "Bisquick" is an easy 10/10.

The best of it's kind and actually funny!!!
I literally just made this IMDB account to praise this show. All the years of looking at reviews and never feeling compelled enough to comment, that's all changed now. (Who would have thought it would be a YouTube show lol).. This show is absolutely hilarious. It deserves it's high rating and needs to be seen by all movie & comedy fans. These guys keep it real and know exactly what they're talking about when it comes to film... I respect that.. The show really grows on you and the more you watch episodes the better it gets, because you get in tune with their whole world and all the inside comedy... Which is great. Mike is standout hilarious... Like actually funny and his cynical personality resonates so greatly when it comes to reviewing cinema. Jay is great too because he's the one who really knows all the great B movie/horror cinema that got me to watch this incredible show in the first place... It also helps that I'm from Waukegan so all the regional jokes (and their are tons of them) hit close to home... Everything about the show is high quality and I'm really impressed... Literally all their shows are great but this one is my favorite by far.
