Fargo S5
The previous four seasons of Fargo won six Emmys between them, while the movie that inspired it won two Oscars.
The latest instalment of the acclaimed crime anthology is now up for another 15 Emmys, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and Writing and Directing awards for creator Noah Hawley.
The story is set in 2019, when Midwestern housewife Dorothy ‘Dot’ Lyon finds herself in hot water with the authorities and plunged back into a life she thought she had left behind.
Three-time Emmy nominee Juno Temple (Ted Lasso) stars as Dot, with Emmy winner Jon Hamm (Mad Men) as the sheriff who has been searching for her for a long time. Both actors are up for Emmys for their lead roles, with Lamorne Morris (Winston in New Girl) also nominated as Supporting Actor.
Season 5 has a 93% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus says, “A back-to-basics caper populated by the likes of a mesmerizing Juno Temple and a thick slice of Hamm, Fargo’s fifth season is a superb return to peak form.”
