25 Most Critically Acclaimed TV Shows Of All Time

15. Fargo

Fargo
FX

IMDb Score: 9.1

Based on the Coen Brothers film of the same name, Fargo features the same style, dark comedy and excellent writing of the former, but with it's own unique narrative.

Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, the two actors' chemistry and the sectors of society they represent are all excellently captured. A crime drama by name, but an exploration of what it takes to find every man's breaking point before they cast off an society's laws, Fargo perfectly merges black comedy and drama together. Even better, it managed to repeat the trick - and top it - with its second season, starring Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons.
