I thought this was a solid finale to a mostly solid season. I don’t think I would rank it on the same level as S1 and S2, but probably on par overall with S3. (I have yet to watch S4, which I will get around to at some point)
The final action at the compound was good. I’m glad Dot got to shoot Tillman. Pretty pissed that Whit was killed. …

The final action at the compound was good. I’m glad Dot got to shoot Tillman. Pretty pissed that Whit was killed. I guess Hawkey’s saying that the MAGA types are killing decency? I think I would have been happier overall with the show if Whit survived.
One thing I’ll say is that the numerous “cuts to black” during the final few minutes at the compound were kind of annoying.
I think in this episode I struggled most with Tillman. He went full cartoon - slicing, stabbing, swastika - the three S’s of over-the-top villainy! I know none of it was out of the blue and in a lot of ways were probably logical developments for that character in that situation, but I really think a little subtlety could have gone a long way here (much like our old friend Lars a few weeks ago).
I actually thought Lorraine’s final punishment for Tillman was pretty clever writing and got a good kick out of it.
I thought the whole final scene with Ole and the Lyon family was great. One of the highlights of the season. Noel articulated my thoughts pretty well. I’m actually surprised I liked it as much as I did, but I thought it was about as perfect an ending to the season as we could have hoped for. All four characters were hilarious (especially Ole) and even some of the sappier parts of the dialogue were at least well placed.
So yeah, I’m glad I was wrong with my prediction last week that we had seen the last of Munch.
Thanks for the reviews Noel! It’s been fun reading along with them and the comments. I’ll definitely be back for another round of Fargo if Hawley ever gets to it.

Wayne's hand reaching in from off camera to clink Ole's bottle was especially LOL
