Fargo, Ep. 1.04, “Eating the Blame” another wildly entertaining and symbolically rich hour
As Lester’s infection grows deeper and a large storm heads straight towards Bemidji, “Eating the Blame” thoroughly conveys a world slowly descending into Biblical chaos, all orchestrated by one Lorne Malvo, the man with intricate plans and riddles to spare. And there’s no image more fitting than when director Randall Einhorn’s camera fixates on a dirty pile of snow, slowly rising to meet Gus as he enters his car: the only hope to fight the gathering momentum of evil is with an equal force of good, the “real po-lice” of snowy Minnesota.
