FX’s Emmy-winning crime anthology series, Fargo, has finally returned for its highly anticipated fifth season, and the reception from fans and critics has never been better. The first season helped establish the series as an expansion of the fictional “true crime” history in the American Midwest that the original Coen Brothers film started, and has even gone so far as to include connective references and Easter eggs to it. It’s the premiere of Season 5, however, that has taken the show’s tributary nature further than ever before.This most recent and current season has set up quite a compelling crime case, with Juno Temple as Dorothy “Dot” Lyon, a Minnesotan housewife who finds herself in some hot water when it’s revealed that she isn’t quite who she appears to be. Her old life comes back to haunt her after an arrest, jeopardizing the new one that she’s built with her husband and daughter. There are two particular sequences in the season premiere that not only set up Dot’s intense situation that follows but also pays an obvious tribute to some of the original film’s most famous moments.Toward the end of the film, Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) buries the satchel containing $920,000 of the one million dollar ransom money in the snow by the side of the road. Anyone who’s seen the film knows that his plan to go back for the money doesn’t work out, but whatever happened to that substantial amount of cash just buried in the snow? Episode 4 (“Eating the Blame”) of Season 1 finally gave the fans the answer, when it was revealed in a flashback that Stavros Milos, the “Supermarket King” of Minnesota, found the money shortly after and used it to save his struggling family and build his grocery empire.
