Fargo

@metya: Palindrome as the absence of changes in the essences of the characters from the beginning of the season to the end. It's just that, in fact, each character in the end came to where he started: Milligan never got any control, but only a subordinate cog in the corporation; Hanzi still remains a killing machine, she will just work for others; Peggy is locked up in prison, in principle, the same way she felt locked up in her husband's house; The Solversons, who have been through the whole mess, still gather in the family circle; the Gerhards are dead, but even at the very beginning of the season we saw a dying empire that has no chance to adapt.

Why would Lester approach Malvo in a bar? I would have lived on quietly.

For the full charm of the series, you must, of course, be familiar with the complete filmography of the Coen brothers, because the general idea in the films and the 2nd seasons coincides.
In the films of the brothers, people who are involved in some kind of scams and attempts to build happiness at the expense of the misfortune of others are always ridiculed and end badly. At the same time, their "little man" is always happy with his little one, and this is done so wittily that you even believe in it.
The same thing happened in the first season, the same thing we see here: a mockery of Milligan, who talks so impressively about his Kingdom, and eventually gets a ridiculous office cubicle and frustration for life. In contrast, the Solverson family, who are "just good people": joking about the sciatic nerve, planning a fishing trip (the first season ended in a similar way, the Fargo movie ends in a similar way).
The correspondence controversy with Camus is great. Despite the fact that Betsy had never heard of him, but her whole life was the ideal that Camus wrote out: Sisyphus, dragging a stone with dignity and without whining. It is doubly witty that in the next scene this idea is confirmed by Lou himself, who says that the very stone is not a curse at all, but a means to manifest his best qualities.
I really like many of the series that are on TV now, but perhaps only Fargo awakens a strong desire for serious reflection, and I would not be surprised that lectures on Cohen and similar series will one day begin at some advanced universities in the departments of cultural studies.
