Fargo (1996)

Fargo is the acclaimed anthology crime series inspired by the Coen brothers' film. It spins fresh tales of small-town crime and Midwestern menace each season. Its ensemble casts have become part of the draw. This collection here includes three clips worth a look. Jessie Buckley brings a tightly wound edge to her season's tale of deception and violence. Kate Walsh adds her own brand of frosty command to the mix. Mary Elizabeth Winstead rounds things out with a turn that mixes vulnerability and grit. Between the three of them, viewers get scenes that push past typical network limits. Nudity and tension are worked right into the storytelling. It's a rare thing to see skin handled with this much craft. This is inside a prestige crime drama, no less.
