Each season features a new setting. The latest installment continues the trend, as it takes place in North Dakota in 2019. The first two episodes were directed by Noad Hawley, the series’ creator. The latest one, meanwhile, is directed by Donald Murphy.

Fargo season 5 episode 2: A brief recap
Fargo season 5 episode 1 revolved around the events that transpire when criminal Ole Munich and his associate Donny abduct Dot in an eerie sequence with shades of the one seen in the film.
It also focused on her equation with her mother-in-law Lorraine Lyon, a rich business tycoon, who agrees to pay any potential ransom to the kidnappers to ensure her safety.
The episode took a surprising turn when Ole and Donny were pulled up by a trooper, giving Dot a chance to escape. This set the stage for a cat and mouse game in which she ended up killing Donny and wounding Ole.
Fargo season 5 episode 2 picked up where the first one ended and introduced the audience to Stark County Constitutional sheriff Roy Tillman who delivered a powerful monologue to rebuke a character for indulging in domestic violence. This highlighted his position as an elected official.
It was then revealed that Roy is actually Dot’s estranged husband and had set up the attempted kidnapping. The focus then shifted to Lorraine who offered Dot a sum of money to leave Wayne.and even threatened to take legal action against her. These actions suggested that she suspected her daughter-in-law of staging her kidnapping to get her hands on her money.
Meanwhile, Ole killed a character with links to Roy’s son and this set the set the stage for a confrontation between them
What to expect from Fargo season 5 episode 3?
The promo for the Fargo season 5 episode 3 suggests that it will be wilder and more action packed than the earlier one. It is expected to begin with Dot and her meek husband Wayne Lyon trying to protect their home from imminent danger with the former’s past catching up with her.
Viewers might also get a close look at Roy’s son as he gears up to make a move following Ole’s actions in the second episode. There’s also a distinct possibility of Lorraine intensifying her attacks on Dot, which in turn may make the equation between them even more complex.
Fargo season 5 episode 3 will be released on FX on November 28.
