Ok, I have season 2 saved on the dvr still... is it necessary viewing to understand season 3? I remember reason season 2 could be watched without season 1... TIA!
Not at all necessary. However in my opinion - and I'm in a clear minority here - Season 2 is not only better than Season 1, but one of the best seasons of any show, ever. Again, I'm very well aware that I'm in a very small minority :)

I agree. Lorne Malvo actually ruined season 1 for me, by the time he was killing whole office buildings full of armed monsters I called BS. The fishnado didn't bother me, the Lornekillsanofficebuildingfullofmobstersnado did.
Season 2 was better IMO
Also the other thing was, I liked the period piece in 1979 better because it was closer to the original Fargo set in 1987
Not needed but I'd highly recommend it because it's just fantastic television. I thought season 2 was better than season 1 and I thought season 1 was amazing.
I had no issue with season 1 (a certain level of disbelief is needed when watching anything Coeh brothers!) but just thought that season 2 had more depth to it. I love quality writing, and the way season 2's story was layered, the literary allusions, the structure, the framing, the themes etc were all amazingly well done.
I absolutely plan to watch s2!! But I wanted to watch this one "in real time" with the casts and everything and have s2 for summer viewing when there are no new shows for me :0)
It would be like watching the show Fargo without watching the movie Fargo. Can you do it, yes. Will your enjoyment lessen by like 30% - probably.
Thing is, it's hard to say if you need to have watched season 1 and 2, because we don't know what will happen in 3 yet. This show is an "anthology" but ONLY just. It's the general area, a lot of the same people are involved, and there is an overarching theme to this entire series for sure. They are only 10 ep. You can get through them in like a week, then catch up with us!

Maybe I'm less alone than I thought!
