The original Fargo movie launched in 1996 and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen was quite grounded. However, FX’s Fargo Series has been anything but ordinary. Season 2 included aliens and a flying dish, while Season 3 had a character who might have been the devil himself. In the 5th season, Fargo takes a turn towards supernatural folk scary, introducing some really weird but intriguing concepts into the story’s tradition.
The 5th season revolves around the story of Dot, a Minnesota homemaker who seems logical and practical until two masked attackers assault and kidnap her, revealing a whole new side to her character.
As Dot escapes and returns home, a series of events unfold, leading to the death of one of her attackers and the revelation that she is actually on the run from a frightening North Dakota sheriff. This sets the stage for a thrilling and mysterious season.
The surviving attacker, Ole Munch, emerges as a strange and potentially supernatural character, setting the stage for another revenge tale in Fargo‘s 5th season.
As the 5th season unfolds, the character of Ole Munch takes on a supernatural twist, adding an unexpected element of folk horror to the storyline.
