“Unraveling the Chaos: How Noah Hawley’s ‘Fargo’ Transforms Mundane Life into Dark Comedy Gold”

But it’s not just the character arcs that form out of chaos.
Each season offers similar transitions in their beginnings as well. In each case, Hawley uses a sudden turn of events to invite change—a disruption to the order of small-town life. Those disruptions are then treated like fateful steps in a specific direction, despite all indications to the contrary.
Season 2 begins that chaotic step in the wrong direction with a hit-and-run—and it does not disappoint those who came for the wild outcomes. With more main characters with distinctly different moral compasses and a violent path ahead, this season becomes a delightfully disjointed prequel of sorts to the previous season, set in the late 1970s.
