_Fargo_ S4 is a go, set in the early Fifties and starring Chris Rock: [‘Fargo’ Season 4 Is Happening With Chris Rock Starring – TCA – Deadline](https://deadline.com/2018/08/fargo-season-4-chris-rock-fx-tca-1202439584/) Here’s the S3 thread: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=823804](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=823804) The earlier seasons had their ups and downs but I liked each, all in all. I’ll hope for the best with this one, too. ---

I liked Season 1, loved Season 2, and was lukewarm on Season 3. Hopefully Season 4 will be a return to form and not just a collection of self-indulgent digressions. ---

And some just-plain-folks who get sucked into a mess way over their heads, plus a folksy law enforcement officer or two who the bad guys underestimate, maybe? And lots of snow.

> [@Omar\_Little](#): > > Will Chris Rock’s character be related to Mike Milligan from Season 2? Chris Rock will be 54 when this goes into production. Assuming his character is the same age, the character would have been born around 1900, and would be nearly 80 at the time of Season 2 (1979). Bokeem Woodbine was 42 when Season 2 premiered. Again assuming that his character was the same age, that would mean Mike Milligan was born around 1937. So if his character is related to Chris Rock’s, it would be more like a grandson than a son. He would be a small child at this time. All of the seasons have had links, although 3 is more tenuously connected to the others than 1 and 2. The character Joe Bulo from the Kansas City mob is old enough to appear in Season 4 as a younger man. ---

I hope they work in some clever tie. I like having them all linked somehow (like the ice scraper and ransom money from the movie appearing in S1). ---

Bumped. S4 begins Sept. 27. Looks like a great cast and a fully-realized Fifties setting (those cars! those clothes!).
