With a cast led by Chris Rock, Fargo’s latest installment is set in Kansas City, 1950, and follows two criminal syndicates jockeying to control an alternate economy of exploitation, graft, and drugs while fighting for a piece of the American dream. As tensions rise, the crime heads trade their youngest sons in an attempt to strike an uneasy peace. TV-MA | 60min
