Rarely does a second season contend with the first, especially considering its Fargo and season one was a masterclass of acting. But this season is impeccable.

That polite unfriendliness again... such a thing

Bokeem Woodbine KILLED every scene he was in!

“Now that is a truly odd question”

Mike is incredible. He even gives it back to Hank with the waffle talk. He's basically saying "you know who we are, where we're from & what we're doing here. And you can't do anything about it."

I love how Fargo meshes obscure actors with A listers and let the magic happen

Mike is threatening in the most subtle way I have seen

Bokeem should've won an award for this role

This season was one of the best seasons of any show ever.

Mike says later that he liked Hank when he met him. I think the interesting thing here is Hank's little breath when he turns around. He's not stupid, he knows the men are dangerous, but he sticks to his guns and doesn't take smack from them. He *knows* he's in deadly danger, but he's still a sheriff and he acts like one.

He asked them if they were armed but Mike just blew off the comment. Then Mike said he would have them home by supper and that if he was anything, he was a "man of his word." He was telling Hank he was a dead man if he tried to detain them. Superably written and acted.

Bookeem Woodbine's character is such an interesting one . Mike Milligan has the distinction of being naturally polite and intimidating at the same time. This show convinced me Bokeem Woodbine is actually a good actor.

Hank silently let his sigh out after the talk the moment he was walking away. He was scared of them.

Mike Milligan is a very rational person, and doesn't let any annoyance take over the situation. Calm and Rational.

“I’m gonna go ahead and guess the boys are an 11 not a 2… which would make them toddlers” 😭 the way Mike Milligan delivered his lines makes him one of the greatest characters in the Fargo universe

And that's when the cop realised he just met a dragon on the road

Out of all four seasons Mike Milligan is the best character, and almost every character is fantastic.

Season 2 is my favorite. All the actors are superb. Bokeem Woodbine is a revelation!

This was my introduction to Bokeem Woodbine. Phenomenal actor

This is some of the best writing in any series ever written.

"Misunderstanding". Interesting word from Mike. Hank thinks that all conflict comes from misunderstandings.

This scene kind of reminds me of the diner face off between Pacino & De Niro in “Heat”. A seasoned lawman having a polite but frank conversation with an obvious mob enforcer and his equally obvious professional hitters…on a lonely highway, while the rest of the world goes by oblivious. Of course he let them go - he had nothing to hold them but suspicion. He knew he could try probable cause to search the car and would certainly find weapons…but if he does that he’s alone against 3 professionals with backup minutes away. Likewise, Milligan knew he had the advantage & could have taken the sherif at any time, but they didn’t do it and there was nothing to link them to the crime. And they’re smart enough to know killing the cop gets in the way of business and would put every cop from Minnesota to Missouri on their trail. And so…a civil, polite but unfriendly conversation where the players all recognize each other but they just let the game play. Amazing.

3:12 is Mike telling Hank he's not somebody to fuck with. Brilliant writing.

Ted Danson is very good in this scene.

Loved this show. Props do Bokeem Woodbine. I've seen him in gangster, sci-fi, comedy, police, etc.. Movies. Always an amazing performance..

Mike is one hell of a rethorician and manipulator. He knows exactly what to say, when and how, to deliver some sort of message and to get certain type of reaction.

Never thought they could come up with another character to match Billy-Bob's Malvo... but Michael Cannon, as Mike Milligan, did just that... love the guy's polite air of menace

Idk what it is about Ted with that beard but it's very intimidating

The suspense in this scene is so intense

That was one intense scene. Loved every second of it, season 2 was fantastic.

The subdued exhale of relief at end of scene reminds of how many high stakes poker hands end after a long wait for "will they call me , do i have them or do they have me " . Great wrap to a great scene .

2:59 this part cracks me up everytime 🤣🤣

That brown Oldsmobile with the padded roof is so quintessentially SOMETHING.

My friend up front doesn't like talking to strangers. Translation? My buddy up top is about a hair trigger away from chopping you down and taking your badge as a souvenir. Gotta love how Mike M dodges questions.

Love Mike! One of my all time favorite characters!

1:50 wow damn, this man can put on his glasses pretty fast! With one hand.

A scene that puts many Oscar winners to shame.

you never really know what you are and what stuff you made of, till you're confronted by someone who is threatening to take your life

Kitchen Brothers reminded me of a roided up evil versions of the Bee Gees

3:57 - 4:38 How to scare the living hell out of someone (a cop no less) with veiled threats without ever sounding threatening.

Never been a fan of Ted Danson but this role was dead nuts. Every character written and actor chosen this season was spot on.

"Bathroom brothers"

Bokeem Woodbine been doing this forever but never gets a lot of credit but definitely a superb actor

Bokeem Woodbine, never less than great.

Damn Cheers has gotten really dark this season.

Five things that don't cost you anything: remembering someone name, being punctual, being polite, taking an interest in others, being sincere.

On ThE FlInTsToNeS

People don’t say this enough… but dammit I love Bokeem Woodbine and he can act!

"Sir, please roll up your window." Hahaha I laughed so much at that. Ted Danson was class in season 2.

This combined with The Good Place gave me a whole new respect for Ted Danson! And the tension!

Such a great season here. Masterful acting.

What a great season that was. Plot was amazing and portrayals were stellar.

absolutely riveting !!! greatest series of all time !!!!

A work of art!

I love the minor parallels each season has to each other. This scene paralleled the scene when Malvo was pulled over by the cop in season one and was intimidated. Both cops had a look of fear and relief after each encounter because they knew it could’ve easily went the other way.

This series had some great characters. Very well done.

Fantastic scene. Danson really shines bright here, I think.

Mike was such a great character I actually like him more than malvo its because he's a perfect mix of Intense and Witty humour

I love when Mike's accent changes up.

This scene contains some superb acting, lighting and camera work. Also the score fits to a T. Both the movie Fargo as well as the series up intill now are classics which cannot be unwatched.

The intermittent chain saw working in the background is most excellent.

He knew he was staring death in the face.

Mann bros are the best actors!

Satchel cannon was absolutely amazing in this.

As a Kitchin, this scene is giving us long deserved visibility

Some of the best acting I’ve seen since breaking bad

From a legal standpoint, Milligan handled this situation exceptionally well with the words he chose. 1:27 is a good example when he lets the officer know his hand movements in advance. At 2:20 he was asking permission to pat them down because he lacked a basis for reasonable suspicion, and Milligan answered appropriately without giving consent or making any incriminating remarks.

"My friend up front doesn't like to talk to strangers." This man rolled the back window down and approached the cop on some "do you know why I pulled you over?" Shit Cold blooded

Woodbine was AWESOME in this show.

“So you can imagine our surprise when we find the place closed and the scene of a crime” *have a wonderful day sir I hope you’ve enjoyed our great state*

What kills me about this scene is how fast he puts on those glasses at 1:48... He don't trust these boys at all lol

I find it very interesting that the Kitchen Brothers pulled their licenses straight from their pockets, all loose like.

Who wants to bet that the characters in the upcoming season will somehow be linked to Mike M. ?

God the tension in this scene is so intense.

Continuity error at the end when Mike tells the sheriff have a nice day. The red jacket Kitchen brother gets in the driver side and starts the car audibly, but the door never opens and the front glass stays in frame.

Bokeem Woodbine was outstanding in this series.

Awesome show!

I want to see a battle of the brothers with The Kitchen Brothers vs The Salamanca Cousins.

Just got done with the season. It’s ironic how this motif of strained lines of communication even goes back towards Hank and the language he was creating.

This show was so awesome

Bookeem is a good actor and fine too

Size 11 and not 2 love it

This season was the best television I have ever seen. The 3rd season was also incredible and blew my mind, but this second season is literally the best. I loved the first season too. Didn’t care much for the 4th unfortunately.

Dude sounds , looks and acts like Dave Chapelle

This is the best movie and following series ever!!!

This series was every bit as good, if not better than Breaking Bad. Never got the same level of recognition though.

The Kitchen brothers versus Tuco's cousins would be a good match.

Bokeem Wobine was phenomenal in this. Like blew my socks off.

Great series

Mike: charming, yet threatening. You like him but don’t like that you like him He’s beyond redemption but you still sympathise with him

This show was so good.

Its Mike's monotone delivery that so fucking frightening 😂 great character

I have just been sold on this fucking show with this being the 3rd clip I've seen within the past 15 minutes. I wish it were on Netflix...

Is that where we are? 🎶 on the flintstones

Love that scene

beautiful

Such a great actor

This was the best show

Mike has that Malvo like scary but polite way of talking that’s skin crawling

I was so scared for Danson’s character right here lol
