"Morton's Fork" is a disappointing finale of this first season of Fargo. While there were some genuinely good moments scattered within this episode, I can't help but feel let down by how predictably it all played out. The scene between Malvo and Lester was particularly disappointing. I knew straight away what Lester was doing, though the bear trap was a nice touch. While I'm not upset that Malvo died, I felt his demise was underwhelming and contrived. The whole exchange with him and Gus fell flat for me, and I'm disappointed that Molly's arc ultimately didn't amount to much, seeing as she didn't catch Malvo or Lester. Also, why doesn't Gus face any repercussions for what he did? He still murdered an unarmed man in cold blood, evil as he may be. Instead, he will receive an award for bravery. What a joke. Certain character arcs are also left unresolved (Chaz, Mr Wrench, The Hess family, even Stavros?)
Overall, a surprisingly poor conclusion to a great season of television.
