"Eating the Blame" is now the forth episode of this show, and one of the strongest thus far. Perhaps its only contender for the show's best episode so far is the pilot. Unlike that episode, which was driven by both gory violence and excellent dialogue exchanges between characters, this episode is mostly about the back and forth between characters. And yet, it is thrilling to watch!
Billy Bob Thornton continues to amaze in this role as Lorne Malvo, Martin Freeman is unsurprisingly professional in any role he accepts and Colin Hanks is beginning to come into his own as Gus Grimly. As far as performances go, "Fargo" is very well acted.
One of the criticisms I had towards the past two episodes was rather a lack of plot, and as such, a lack of plot development for Season 1. A few major events occur in this episode, however, including the arrest of Lorne and Nygaard's encounter with the two men sent from Fargo. We also see the inception of Lorne's mind-games on Stavros and this promises to be an exciting plot point.
Thornton excels throughout the episode, but the sequence at the police station where he provides the necessary alibi that would render him innocent of arrested charges was amusing to wat
