This time, a desperate housewife, trying to flee from her traumatic past to a secured present, a sheriff, trying to be and not to maintain law for his own liking of social order, a matriarch putting her foot down firmly on whatever she thinks right, a trooper searching for the saviour of a perilous night, a person trained in security trying to secure her financials and to top it all, a 500 year old mercenary with his own code of fearful conduct, collide for their own stakes at bay. With a flurry of few sequences and characters paying tribute to the original movie, the contrasting features of either delight with their deceptive novelty. Sam Spruell actually overshadows others with his eerily commanding presence while the silent expressions of Juno Temple are more than enough than her pointed dialogues. Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jon Hamm play the pivotal pieces, who keep the tension flowing with their similarly dominating countenances, yet with characteristics, starkly different!
Created by Noah Hawley, the season is certainly not the masterpiece of the series, yet the theme, based on the social evil of domestic abuse, with the rawest of sentiments, augmented by the signature notes of John Russo, is filled with all the ingredients for a savoury watch!
