What do YOU think is the darkest "Fargo" moment? Let us know in the comments!

I know it was an honorable mention, but Lester setting his second wife up with the coat and the hoodie deserved to be on that list. That was dark as hell.

While Malvo was terrifying , Varga made me so uncomfortable. Like some kind of slippery demonic creature that just attaches itself to you. Freaks me out

I’m pretty sure Malvo taping down Dennis to that stairmaster and tricking the police into shooting him was way darker than him talking to an old dude in a diner.

When Lester sent his 2nd wife to be killed, that one really struck me. Her character was a purely good hearted woman and never deserved to die. Still remains as being one of the saddest scenes I’ve scene in a show

I'm surprised the Malvo elevator scene didn't make it on the list. Lester, is this what you want?

Season 1 of Fargo is probably my favourite thing ever on TV.

Nicki Swango in Fargo 3 getting beaten off screen was stomach churning.

Fargo is my favourite series ever, the writing, the characters, the atmosphere, the comedy and the stories are all incredible.

Burying the typewriter guy alive counts as pretty dark to me.

I don't know if it was just me, but when Malvo killed all the mafia right in front of the FBI agents, I laughed my ass off. Best moment in the whole show

Death by Air conditioner in season 3 was pretty brutal

Lorne Malvo is King throughout the whole series.

Malvo is one of my favourite villains of all time

Lorne Malvo is the greatest Fargo character ever

VM Varga scared the hell out of me in season 3, I was simply amazed at David Thewlis's performance

Lester sending Linda to her death HAS to be it for me. Its the first time i felt sick to my stomach watching something.

Lorne Malvo: Because some roads you shouldn’t go down. Because maps used to say, “there be dragons here.” Now they don’t. But that don’t mean the dragons aren’t there

How Lester sending his 2nd wife to die isnt number 1 and just a "honorable mention" is BEYOND me, that was INSANE And is there a character ever created better than Lorne Malvo and how billy Bob portayed him? my god, set the tone for the WHOLE series, just amazing

I love Hanzee he was incredible

I laughed my ass off when Martin Freeman's character killed his wife with a hammer. It's almost like a Three Stooges skit.

Swango getting beaten within an inch of her life, recovering and making moves to get some very well deserved vengeance and yet still taking a bullet to her head in the end is definitely the most depressing ending this show has ever had and it's not nearly discussed enough. It makes my skin crawl and while I actually really enjoy S3 and would argue that it's somewhat underrated, that part is so bleak it borders on mean-spirited. Shock for the sake of shock.

Orietta mayflower is something else also the actress definitely deserves some awards she was down right psychotic !!

When Gus kills Malvo. The answer to Malvo's riddle, the wolf metaphor, and Malvo's dead gaze was dark af. Malvo won.

one of the consistent themes throughout fargo : even the smallest evil you’ve done catches with you in the end

Turning Rye Gerhardt into chuck round and narrowly having his fingers found by Lou Solverson is a pretty grim moment in the series for me.

Fargo is waay underrated, it is really the best tv series ever.

I thought the scene where Kirsten Dunst hits the guy with her car, then drives home with him hanging out of the windshield, then just parks the car in the garage was pretty dark. Because then she just goes about her evening, making dinner like nothing happened at all. A person would have to have a pretty empty soul to do that.

The darkest moment is when Varga spunks in a mug and makes the guy drink it

Is it just me or does Mike Milligan not get enough credit. He is literally the best character in the show.

When Lorne Malvo single-handedly takes out that entire building filled with mobsters, that was easily one of the most badass scenes from anything I've ever seen. The way they shot it was clever, too. On the one hand it was probably cheaper to film, because you really don't see anything. Rather, you hear it instead, which is arguably even more effective because you can just imagine it all happening in any way you like.

Peggy wasn't shocked by the flying saucer because the flying saucer is what caused her to hit the guy in the first place. She was driving, saw the UFO, crashed into the guy, and drove home because she was shocked by the UFO. Her hitting the guy wasn't what put her into shock, that's not why she just casually drove home. It was the UFO which was the craziest thing she had ever seen in her life up to that point and she started questioning her own sanity

Billy Thornton is such an INCREDIBLE actor

Thank you for giving this series the love it deserves

Do a funniest moments list for Fargo!!

The Kitchen Brothers - omg, I remember them f---ers! And the Native American tracker/assassin Hanzee Dent hands down one of the scariest characters since Javier Bardem's Anton Chigurh. Oh, and the brilliant Billy Bob Thornton as Malvo. Funny and scary as f--k in equal measure. I truly believe he's the Devil in the show.

man, this tv series really teach us how good people can be consumed by their dark side? We all have a dark side but balance is the only way to protect ourselves.

Vm Varga has the best line "the problem with the world is not that there is evil but that there is good because if there wasn't who would care"

Love this show, and this is a great round up of "moments".

Everytime I get into an elevator with somebody I know who has seen Fargo, I ask them "Is THIS what you want?"

👏Great video....there really more than 10 of course ....Great Keep the topics....

Any scene that involves Loren Malvo is dark. End of story.

I couldnt stop after season 1 so ive watched them all like a junkie

I'm not going to argue about these choices - they're all pretty good, but the one that I think about the most is one nobody has mentioned yet - in the first season when Wrench and Numbers casually and calmly dropped the nasty guy through the ice to die. The poor hapless typewriter guy in season two dying under a dump truck full of hot asphalt might be even worse.

When I saw Number 2 I thought this should be number 1!! BUT DAMMMNNN NO.1 Deserves it...😂😂

Theres a lot more to it . - Yuri and Meemo throwing that old man off the balcony - Hanzee killing one kitchen brother - Malvo letting off Mr wrench - Thaddeus Mobley beating Howard Zimmerman - Bill’s monologue about the world - Varga sticking his schlong in Sy’s mug - Bear killing Simone - Malvo tying Doug down , leading him to get shot down by police - Stavros’ kid and his bodyguard in the crash - The whole forest fight (Swango and Wrench vs Varga’s Goons) and the aftermath when Yuri meets God and starts seeing illusions - Betsy accepting her fate throughout the end of Season 2 , especially when Karl tries to motivate her by comparing her to John McCain - Anything that happens to Sy , like literally he is Varga’s bitch

How do you not have the elevator scene on here, not even an honorable mention? I don't think Watchmojo knows what dark means

Love the Fargo appreciation, but why make this list half-way through season 4?

Who's your favourite story line? Mine is Rabbi Milligan, plus Oraetta Mayflower and Josto. The end was almost beautiful.

Bear shooting his niece in the woods has to be an honorable mention at least. That scene was heart-wrenching. I also agree with the fact that the sounds of Nicki Swango being beaten off scene, while Ewan Macgregor was watching in horror was awful. As well as the many other scenes mentioned. Fargo is top-tier.

Malvo, Malvo, and more Malvo.....

The UFO wasn't actually forgotten until it was sighted again - it was referred to in several episodes between the first and the penultimate, including when they showed the butcher shop from its POV, folks in the gas lines talking about it, etc.

My favorite show of all time, 3 season is a masterpiece..

This made it very clear to me, that season 1 was the best by far in many ways. Most authentic, best characters and casting, weird storyline which was simple and complex at the same time, craziness, humor and so on. Legendary quotes and dialogues stuck in my mind for years right now. Last season was a major disappointment to me, but season 1 might be my favorite tv show ever.

Great analysis of the best series is probably also the darkest moment congratulations

Lester sending his second wife to her death was the moment that made me hate Lester.

Love billy bob thornton

I was about to say, if the intimidation of Gus wasn't #1, I was gonna revolt. Love that line about "there be dragons". 😮

I live in North Dakota, and while there are a LOT of good people here, the statement; "Your very unfriendly, you're just so polite about it", is an absolute fact. It's particularly true on the east side of the State. The west side of the State they're more likely to completely ignore you unless there's a reason to interact. When I first moved here, 21 years ago, people would absolutely recoil at any attempt at extroverted kindness. A smile and a wave, would most often illicit a, "Who the Hell are you and why are you talking to me" look, somewhere between stoic and disgusted. They do eventually warm up to you, and I actually like their stoic honesty over the fake, smiling nice you experience in other parts of the country.

Season one and two were amazing. Three was ehhhh was I still liked it Haven't started four yet Gonna wait until it's over and binge it all

That nurse was fucked up right to the end. Talking bout "Can you shoot him first so I can watch"?

Fargo season 1, and especially season 2, are two of the best seasons of television ever created.

I thought they left out the most darkest but to my surprise it was at first

Yes, malvo talkin to an old guy is darker than him killing all the people he spent months with just because lester said “yes”

I dont know who I'm scared of more, Malvo or Hanzee

One of the best and most underrated series. Each season has great memorable characters and unique storylines. The dark moments and dark humor are trademarks of this series.

I would have put the elevator scene from S1 on here. When Lester goes back to Malvo in Vegas. That’s one of my favorite scenes of the the ENTIRE series.

No mention of Milligan and the Kitchen twins terrifying Sheriff Larrson out in the woods?

That infection setting in ! Season 1 lawddd

Damn I need to watch this series again

Should do a top 10 characters amongst all the seasons

You nailed #1. Another honorable mention could be in season 1 when the 2 hit men looking for Malvo put the loud mouth bar patron through a hole in the ice.

i watched it some days ago on Netflix and i dont remember some scenes is there a extendet version?

Absolutely loved Mike...great bad guy!

Can you do top 10 Flash Villains who might appear in the DCEU?

Massacre at the diner was for me the darkest.

This is a incredible piece of Tv

Fargo >>> True detective

Billy bob will always take home the prize as it was the first. But each season has been as dark as the first, in my opinion. V.M Varga to me has been the most menacing and evil for so many reasons. Mainly the extreme compulsive eating and vomiting

literally darkest moment for me by FAR was the brutal murder of don chumph - i mean, death by swat team? holy fuck. and the music that plays in the background???? it's horrifying and over the top cruel.

I think this show is easily the most well crafted TV show alongside Breaking Bad, of the last decade. I am infatuated with Fargo. Love Mindhunter and Hannibal as well

I can't believe they didn't have the scene from season 2 at the body shop with Hanzee and Sonny. Even tho there was no violence, that was such a chilling story from Hanzee.

I think the death of the bronzer guy was easily the darkest moment in the whole show for me. Sure he’s a little dim but got he didn’t deserve what he got in such a brutal way.

Ya’ll should do top 10 Fargo characters, this show has some of the best written tv characters iv ever seen

Season 1 my fav Loved billy Bob

Where is bear gerhardt killing Simone?

Great show didn't even watch an episode until about Oct or Nov. but every season and every episode is 🔥

Finally covering my favorite tv show

How is the mug scene with VARGA not even in the top 10???

Literally binge watched all 4 seasons just so I could watch this vid unspoiled...🤣🤣🤣🤣

To the one reading this have a good day

"I figured out your puzzle....." "And???" Bang!@!!!!

The moment that truly haunts me is when Deafy spots Zelmare at the train station in Season 4... The face she makes is cartoonish but sinister AF! Zelmare has my vote for the scariest character on the show.

Interesting picks, they seem more for showing the potential of the show to be dark and entering in dangerous territory more like the actual darkest moments. Still I like them I dont know if anyone is going to read this but I love "Fargo" so much i could not help to make my own personal picks, those scenes that you can take out of context and convice anyone that this is a horror show: 10) Ray's tragically comic death and Varga's appearing in the scene preparing a cover up with this eerie line: “I'm so rarely seen. Maybe I don't even exist.” (S03E06) 9) The innocent guy being framed for Yuri's murder of his girlfriend in East Berlin (S03E01) 8) Paul Murrane makes Yuri faces his crimes before his death in the bowling alley (S03E08) 7) Etherilda blowing her birthday candles with Mr. Snowman next to her (S04E06) 6) Yuri and Meemo brutally beating up Nikki offscreen showing Sy horrified expression (S03E05) 5) Ed Blumquist disposing Rye Gerhardt's body in the meat grinder (S02E02) 4) Malvo listening the tapes of one of his corrupted victims as we can clearly hear said victim, who's life has been completely ruined by Malvo, commiting suicide (S01E09) 3) The Elevator Scene (S01E09) 2) Lester sends Linda to her death (S01E09) 1) Nikki and Wrench being chased by Yuri in the dark woods (S03E08) HONORABLE MENTION: VM. Varga's grotesque depiction of bulimia as a metaphor for compulsive consumism

Yes, it was a dark moment indeed when I first became aware that the makers of Fargo either don't know how a pistol cycles or just decided not to have them do so in the show for some other reason.

No snowman scenes on the list? That was frightening.

I like how this channel showed one of the show's biggest spoiler moments BEFORE the spoiler warning actually comes up. Yeesh!

Please do a top 10 characters

I honestly think this particular list was probably really difficult to make just because… how do you rank darkness in one of the darkest comedies ever..? I can definitely forgive it for listing things that I just yelled at my phone saying “Wait, really?? Why is that ranked??” There’s so much darker they could’ve delved into: Lester’s first kill, Peter and the Wolf (where it’s revealed that Varga is bulimic), Milligan’s depressing demise into the corporate machine, Yuri’s brief talk with Paul (Santa Claus) in the bowling alley, Emmit accidentally killing Ray, Milo’s shower of literal blood, Peggy admitting in the cop car how pointless life is without success… etc. etc. etc. Also (of course) the fuckin MEAT GRINDER in season 2. That was legit a brief horror flick right there… It’s a dark fucking show that you still laugh at. I personally think its nooks-and-crannies of darkness are really unrankable. Mainly because they geniously hide the most unstomachacheable with immediate humor and irony right around the corner.

Oreata did not misinterpret what josto was saying. not at all. they were totally on the same page.
