Everyone hates Season 2. Maybe I should watch it. I might like it.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I liked season 2 a lot, but I would hesitate to call it good. Justice for Vince Vaughn

If there’s a god (and maybe if there isn’t), he’ll be reprising his role from Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.

It's gonna be a backdoor Wicker Man sequel. Cage escaped from the wicker statue at the last second and is on the run from THE BEES OH GOD THE BEES! The cops will attempt to investigate the elusive bees.

It absolutely does, but it’s the only great season. As anthology series go, I think Fargo has it way outclassed. Season 1 was great, 2 was a masterpiece, and the most recent season with John Hamm was also great.

Hatred of S1 feels extreme. But it is absolutely overrated. Especially now that we have S3 and S4.

I never saw 4.
Shocked to see 2 so low on anyone’s list, though the finale was a bit of a letdown.

It's not an indictment of the quality of S2 but rather an acknowledgement of the quality of the series overall. S4 is the only one that's below a B, to me.

5 and 1 are both perfect, in my view. 3 and 2 could switch on a given rewatch. But I tend to favor 3 because of the tone. Both are excellent, though.

I watched the first half of Season 2 episode 1 a few days ago, just to get a feel. Vince Vaughn feels out of place and man I can't stand Kelly Reilly.
