Movie is bottom half of Coen bros. for me. Not Lady Killers or Intolerable Cruelty bad, but not nearly on the level of Raising Arizona or Serious Man.

The show seemed to lack any confidence in its own ability to tell a good story and develop believable characters. It consistently reverted to references, improbable plot devices and other schtick rather than just sticking to its guns and telling an interesting story.

Cause I heard it was supposed to be the best thing on TV and I didn’t have anything else to watch. I was genuinely hyped for it, which may be the problem; high expectations are hard to meet sometimes.

Lol, yeah, probably not the best look for me. The show is fine but I was expecting much more. It had so many ridiculous moments with no regard for the integrity of its characters. Also, the continuous stream of Coen references seemed ultimately pointless and became distracting.

Yeah, just finished season 3 and was underwhelmed. There were definitely some great moments and Billy Bob was a fantastic villain (until he suddenly wasn’t) but the show was ultimately disappointing for me.

He was set up as a supernaturally smart and crafty villain, who never fucked up and was always one step ahead of everyone. I bought into this as an homage to other Coen Villains in this vein (e.g. Anton Sigur) I guess it was after the flash forward that he became crushingly mundane; making easily correctable mistakes and, basically, becoming human. This had to happen to come to the ultimate conclusion but didn’t seem genuine or consistent with the way he was portrayed previously.

what about the bad guy in Season 3? He fucking crushed every scene that he was in. One of my favorite bad guys ever.

Vargas was a very promising villain too, but all that ominous, moody, sinister color that was built up across the course of the first two thirds of the season never really paid off. His henchmen ended up being doofuses, his scheme was cracked by a single, low level IRS agent and all he needed to do was pay some taxes and he would have been fine all along. Not really all that bad ass in the end.
