But last night I read “Fargo and Cinema” by Sylvaine Bataille, and it has a very good bit of writing on the different ways the show connects to cinematic style broadly speaking, as well as specifically to the various parts of the Coens’ ouevre. While, again, much of the chapter is about the first two seasons - with some good analysis of how vastly intertextual those seasons are - it pointed out some of the ways season three also focuses on cinematic elements, especially in its use of screen style and genre tropes (as well as typically Coen-esque elements).

So, the good news is that I may actually be first out the gate with analyses of its most recent season, which had a whole lot to say about Trump’s America and the corruption of faith and government that sits at the dark heart of conservative political ideology in the United States.
