10 TV Shows You Need To Binge Watch Right Now
9. Fargo
Perhaps no show matches dark comedy and intense drama together as well as the FX series Fargo. In an anthology style, each season tells a different harrowing story of 'true' events that have occurred in or around the titular town.
Over three seasons the show features a bevy of incredible actors, such as Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, Colin Hanks, Kirsten Dunst, Bob Odenkirk, Jesse Plemons, Ewan McGregor (twice), and many more. The characters feel like living breathing people and each episode grabs your attention with its incredibly written dialogue, wonderfully bleak visuals of frozen Dakotas, and stories that will continuously shock you.
Fargo is truly the perfect binge watching exercise. As it lulls the viewer into a false sense of security with the collective politeness of the Dakotas citizens, it quickly becomes an experience that is overflowing with tense situations. Fargo knows exactly when to cut the tension with humor that is unexpected yet uproarious.
Although each season tackles a different era, there is something that feels eerily familiar within this town. Something deeply hidden, waiting to be uncovered by its viewers.
