Welcome back to Fargo friends! We’re back for another season and the Fargo universe is rolling into 2019. Since this is aired right before Thanksgiving and FX gave us a double-header, we’ve combined  into one super duper hot dish. Things are looking grim for Ole and his partner when they attempt to kidnap worthy adversary, Dot. She’s not a housewife, she’s a tiger. Erstwhile, Roy…in his moist repose…is pulling thread to get Dot back. I guess this shows attending a school board meeting is bad news, ya?
