The Faddas aren’t the only ones discriminated against. When they finally get Donatello checked in elsewhere, Josto discriminates against an Asian doctor, not realizing the irony. The Fadda’s try to get their boss admitted to a nearby, reputable hospital, but a snooty doctor turns them away for being Italian. He then cuts the tension with Donatello passing some extreme gas, and just when it seems like the coast is clear, a botched BB gun shot pierces Donatello’s neck and sends blood spurting everywhere. Hawley creates tension by misdirecting you to believe that some black young men passing by pose a threat to the Faddas. The leaders of the two organizations are somewhat cordial, but it’s obvious that there’s a lack of respect on both sides despite the African Americans and the Italians being “in the gutter together.” Donatello’s son Josto seems to be the most oblivious to the similarities between the two groups, and just as his father is trying to impart that wisdom on his hot-headed son, a classic Fargo mishap changes the power structure of the Fadda Family forever.ĭonatello’s “shooting” is a great sequence. Now years later, Loy Cannon follows tradition and sends his young son across the aisle to live with the Faddas and vice versa. It looks like her family is getting into some dangerous waters, borrowing money from the Cannon Limited gang, so we’ll see if Ethelrida can keep her strength of character after drifting into the orbit of some unsavory characters. I’m hoping Ethelrida will be given the chance to anchor the story in the way that the Solversons and Gloria Burgle did in the past. It’s quite the change to have our voice of reason coming from a marginalized character who struggles to have a voice in her own home versus an authoritative lawman.
THE SHADOWHUNTERS SEASON 1 EPISODE 4 SERIES
Taking cues from Frances McDormand’s role in the original Fargo film, each season of the series always features a morally sound centrical character, but so far, all of those characters have been police officers. Ethelrida is an upstanding student and clearly a precocious teen, but that also makes her a target as a black girl in segregated America. Thankfully, the FX series is back with a new approach, in a new setting, but will the many interesting threads in this new installment coalesce into something worthwhile?Ī nearly 25-minute prologue kicks off “Welcome to the Alternate Economy,” simultaneously setting the stage for the 1950 Kansas City gang war between the Fadda Family and Canon Limited and introducing us to this season’s true innocent, Ethelrida Smutny. Hawley decided to go back to the drawing board for Season 4, then was forced to delay his return to the anthology series a bit longer due to coronavirus shutting down production. Noah Hawley’s improbably good Coen Brothers adaptation arrived on the scene as an idiosyncratic, darkly funny crime story, but in its third season, its Midwest charm and stylish execution couldn’t quite hide the fact that the story was lacking and the schtick was wearing thin. It’s been a long wait for Fargo’s fourth season.
