Fargo

Aporia

Two women went up against Varga on Fargo Season 3 Episode 9, but only one definitively triumphed over him in the end. "Aporia" saw the return of Nikki and Mr. Wrench post time-jump.

Ewan McGregor to star on the third season of Fargo

Ewan McGregor is to star on the third season of Fargo. He will portray two characters on the show, brothers, Emmit and Ray Stussy. Emmit Stussy, the parking lot king of Minnesota, sees himself as an American success story. Ray Stussy, his younger brother, is the kind of man who peaked in high school and now has a huge chip on his shoulder about the hand he’s been dealt, and believes that his brother is to blame. The third season will be ... more
