Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFX gave the show an additional episode in season 2, making what was initially a 10 episode season an 11 episode season. The reason behind this was that at some point in the season so many scenes were shot that ended up on the cutting room floor so as to not have 60+ minute episodes. Noah Hawley asked FX to let him have an extra episode to use a lot of the material that he deemed necessary for the story.

Featured review
Unique and ambitious
Season 1: 9 stars (3 viewings, 7/10/2024)
The differentest Marvel thing I've seen. So weird and awesome. Artsy but not fartsy. Visually mesmerizing. So many great shots. I also love that you have to figure stuff out on your own. You are rarely spoon-fed any info. Intelligent and unique. So many times I thought, "I've never seen anything like that."
Season 2: 5 stars (3 viewings, 7/22/2024)
A lot slower with a bit of a filler-y feel at times.
The first season was pretty scary, at times it felt like a horror movie, and I loved that aspect. This season, it's not so prevalent. The first season has lots of stuff that's not explained or difficult to understand, but I always felt like I had a grasp on what was really happening. This season I regularly felt like I didn't fully know what was going on. The first season WAS SO WEIRD AND DIFFERENT in a way I love, and I always felt like it's based in the real world, with the exception of some aspects like mutant abilities. This season seems to try to be weird for the sake of being weird, and I feel like the show now takes place in a fantasy world (submarine-looking doughnut vehicle, mustache ladies with auto-tune voices).
Having said all that, I still thought the season was pretty awesome and so stylish once again. The finale was good, and I look forward to seeing where season 3 goes.
EDIT: Rewatching the series, it was extremely difficult to get through this season. It's one of the worst examples of filler I have seen. Plot progression is minimal. There is a 3 episode run where we are in nearly the exact same place story-wise. Entire episodes of background or flash-sideways like the later seasons of Lost.
It makes it difficult to recommend this show when you have to stick it out through this season. It's unfortunate because you can feel the return to awesomeness IMMEDIATELY in season 3.
Season 3: 7 stars (2 viewings, 7/23/2024)
Really awesome, continues to be different and unique. Exciting and crazy. There are a few parts that are super creepy and freaky. But the finale was a let-down.
