Warning: Full spoilers for FX's first season of Fargo follow...
Over the course of its first season, FX’s spin on the Coen brothers’ dark and violent comedy has utilized parables, philosophical paradoxes, and Zen Koans to both frame and weave its tale. Creator Noah Hawley has structured his ten-episode arc as one large allegory, with mini puzzles and yarns to explore along the way. Often, Fargo feels like contemporary Grimms’ bedtime story; one in which the devil comes to a quiet little town that is entirely unprepared for him.
It isn’t so much that Bemidji was wholly idyllic – clearly there were bullies like Hess present with ties to a deadly crime syndicate. It’s simply that they’d never seen anything like Malvo before. Then again, how many of us have? Thankfully. This town did have a vision of itself as unspoiled, though. So much so that when that when his worldview came into question, Bob Odenkirk’s Police Chief Bill Oswalt went into such a crisis of faith that he began to doubt human kindness all together - more on that in a moment.
