Maybe if he treated Hanzee more like a brother and not so disrespectfully he wouldn’t have screwed him over . The problem with Dodd is he thinks he can roll over everyone with no consequence. He went against his mother his brother his daughter and treated the one loyal guy to him like crap. Even when he’s about to be saved by hanzee he proceeds on insulting him .
Just noticed at 1:40 Dodd realizes he's the head of the household and tries to take the main seat but gets mad when his mother grabs it first. How did I miss that? :p
Agree. It was a masterpiece. Top notch storytelling, and the costume and production design were on point! From the clothes, to the landscapes and the cars.
To me they were all great except #4. It had its moments but I just couldn't latch onto a character for the ride. I hated the cop but liked the ones in the other seasons.
I always like when tough guy, evil, sadistic villains submit or show weakness to their mother or their kids(usually the daughter). Despite being obviously physically able to defy them with little to no consequence. It shows that somewhere in all that disarray of conscience....there’s some compassion or sympathy left.
@@denverbritto5606 interesting argument, but I feel like he was always mean to everyone who wasn’t his mother, and even he disrespected her plenty of times. He’d beat his daughter, he was very sexist, and didn’t seem to have any respect for anyone
@@whispersmith exactly what I thought. Dodd views Hanzee as a dog and not a real person. Although he argued with his brothers he had the common decency to see them as humans. Unlike how he viewed his wife (abused her) his daughter (abused her) and Hanzee (abused him) The only people who were real people to Dodd, where the men in his family. Glad he got out down like a rabid animal by Hanzee. Dodd was an awful leader and was only good at being a henchman. Hell, all the men followed Bear basically everywhere, too. Dodd had no one.
Dodd gets a lot of love but can we appreciate how amazing Bear and Floyd is, they were beating off a country wide mafia together while Dodd was trying to rip the family apart
I think I read in an interview with Noah Hawley, he said Bear had some kind of an accident while working in the woodshed. Maybe he cut himself with his axe.
I always wondered what Mike did after Burn Notice he took his secret agent skills and became a gangster and Sam (Bruce Campbell) became the president 😂😂😂😂
Jean Smart was absolutely magnetic in this role. Between this, Watchmen, Mare of Easttown, and Hacks, she's easily one of the all-time best actresses on TV, up there with Carrie Coon and Rhea Seehorn.
Sonny was a clever guy, he's a little Hot headed that's all and it eventually got him killed... Dodd on the other hand was a misogynistic, racist moron, who think he's cleverest of them all...
I love how Dodd was pulling the chair for Floyd as she then sits at the head of the table and he has to sit at the other side so he doesn't lose face ...to himself
@@kitosjek9541Did you miss the part where Hanzee killed him (and proceeded to help get rid of the rest of the family)? Considering that he did it out of years of building-up frustration at Dodd's hand, the odds are he would've eventually killed him weather he was boss or not.
Dodd didn't have any business sense or time for diplomacy, and he also didn't have the respect of the family. The guy has to have his personal bodyguard follow him from room to room in his own house. All the damage he caused by not being head of the family would have just been quicker and worse if he was.
This is gonna sound slightly dumb, but watching these three series [+ Sopranos] would be a massive boon to your hopes and dreams, especially when it comes to understanding the dynamics of people.
@ACEONE Being led by a woman is bad for criminals, because it'll encourage rivals to attack. Not convinced there is a woman that strong; they'd keep attacking, even if she were. The smart move for a strong woman in that scenario is to lead men from behind the scenes for appearances. She should've let Dodd think he is boss, but she was eager to prove herself.
kanahbal true, it’s sort of implied that she had that sort of role in ottos reign, he was the strong fearless leader who would bust heads and keep people in line, while she was the brains, ideas and ran the family while Otto ran the empire.
kanahbal natural roles in life. This season is sort of about the downfall of people pretending or trying to be someone they aren’t, and the people who know who they are succeed. Peggy as a career woman, the butcher as a criminal, the gehrharts not knowing their own weaknesses and roles in the family. All of these people fail because they don’t know themselves or their limits. The cop, and hanzie all come to terms with who they are deep down and are able to persevere, mike Milligan also knows himself to be a capable operator and regional boss, and adjusts to the learning curve, but is later promoted beyond his skills and is destined to fail.
Actually the problem was Dodd. He's so incensed with being made to wait his turn that he works against his family, lies to them, incites further violence and escalates the war unnecessarily. He gets them all killed. A fragile little man with too much power
@@J.Artan6 I like that. I always thought the joke was that Otto was the last thing keeping the Gerhardt's stable, then in the first episode he has a stroke and is rendered useless. Gotta love Fargo's humor.

@@plus_sign *sigma
Bear actually showed kindness towards hanzee
wow you’re a Fargo fan.
hanzee always had plans of his own though, you never know. the belittlement made him make his mind quicker
Why did Hanzee kill his own crew? Is it because they treated him like shit?
Because i thought Hanzee and the mon where really tight... He kills her?
Just noticed at 1:40 Dodd realizes he's the head of the household and tries to take the main seat but gets mad when his mother grabs it first. How did I miss that? :p
I noticed that the first time watching how the mom takes the head of the table so he walks to the other end n takes that head of the table lol
Dodd thought his mother was pulling the seat out for him 😄😝
you must have been in the shitter
I love how Bear is literally drinking half and half cream the whole time.
This is hilarious, never noticed that
Lol, I love half n' half. My mom always had it for her coffee and I'd always put a splash in with the regular 2%
"Yeah...sorry your mom's a nympho, man....you got any Kahlua?"
Just caught that. Disgusting ugh 😑
I didn’t notice this when watching Fargo but y’all are amazing! XD I’m dying just watching him sip half and half
For me, season 2 is the best one. It had so many elements to it. Dunst was outstanding.
Agree. It was a masterpiece. Top notch storytelling, and the costume and production design were on point! From the clothes, to the landscapes and the cars.

Season 2 was absolutely the craziest, which made it so friggen fun. Definitely my favorite as well ❤️
It's just a flying saucer, hon
Billy Bob in season one is hands down the best in all of them period!
Dodd's body language after he capitulates to his Mom's insistence he eat, she's still in charge.

Theres a side effect of her getting him to eat; he can't talk while he's doing so.
He was always so mean to Hanzee, serves him right
He wanted him in the room when all the family was gone, treated Hanz better than he treated his brother.

Funny how bear is always eating, and in the story it never tells how he broke his arm.
But that is one dirty looking cast. The cast on his arm I mean.
I think I read in an interview with Noah Hawley, he said Bear had some kind of an accident while working in the woodshed. Maybe he cut himself with his axe.
it's an element of theater that immerses us in the daily life of this family as if we were there from the beginning
I always wondered what Mike did after Burn Notice he took his secret agent skills and became a gangster and Sam (Bruce Campbell) became the president 😂😂😂😂
Jeffrey Donovan is both so beloved and so underrated.

Mom, "Let me finish"
Dodd: smile like me whenever my mom starts talking things seriously. Lol
Dodd was a great Character easily one of the best from Series 2
Yeah, his interactions with Ed and Peggy was great 😂😂
But, Hanzee Dent , Mike milligan and Lou solverson are the Goats
Hard to pick just one.
@J R not even close.
Sonny Corleone syndrome. "I'm the oldest, so I'M the boss!"
Sonny was a clever guy, he's a little Hot headed that's all and it eventually got him killed...
Dodd on the other hand was a misogynistic, racist moron, who think he's cleverest of them all...
He was the boss and would have been if he was alive
I think of all the main characters, Dod was the only one I enjoyed watching die.
Cave Lombax why?
Josh Blair Because he was a disgusting person
His interactions with Ed and Peggy were hilarious, by far the most entertaining character of Season 2
@@Elias6233 he was entertaining for sure but also a piece of shit lol I mean the guy buried someone in hot coal

My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy until...
Dodd reminds me of Sonny Corleone
Except Sonny had charisma & a sense of humor.

I remember watching and enjoying Season 1, but, to the extent of enjoying Season 2
@@scottalleman4564 I hear that for sure... but as far as rewatching goes- this is my fav season to rewatch!!!
The shirt Dodd is wearing in this scene looks so sharp, I love it!
It always bugged me how goddamn cool Dodd’s clothes and hair were for what a shmuck he is.
Never noticed how much bread was in this household lmao
Interesting that was challah. "They didn't look Jewish."
@@KutWrite krauts
@@kitosjek9541 Krauts can be Jewish.
@@KutWrite the bread is clearly hefezopf, the family is from south Germany. Otto even speaks German in the first episode
Why is there so much bread in the backround
Because bread is the staff of life.
@@evanb1470 Symbolism to the mother I guess. I don't know why everyone hates Dod. I thought he was funny. Bit mean to Hanze.
Nikki Necro no family going to win against a corporations. That’s the message of this season.
I take it you’re not german. My grandmother always had a full pantry and hardy food.
Germans
Jean Smart is absolutely brilliant in this scene. When she met her demise I was very disappointed.
In Dodds defense, the guy made his bones at like 9 years old, on a mob boss. That damn well should earn you the throne.
Bodies don’t make a business.
Not necessarily
Being a boss doesnt mean being a killer
No
One of the two amazing matriarchs of the 2010’s along with olenna Tyrell 😊
Mags Bennett from justified too
Dodd’s sigh at 3:20.. Hilarious
Very Michael Westenly.
This was the best season so far.
"He built his empire from a shoeshine box."
*Billy Batts has entered the chat*
Martha Logan talking to Michael Weston.
Lol 24 meets Burn notice.
Bottles would never take this shit.
Pongan la escena de los dos sicarios de la temporada 1. Cuando atrapan a Lester
any solution other then using words is mostly in vain dodd don't like to use words hanzee knows it .
I hate the Gerhearts.. KC Mafia all day
The big guy with the beard is the creepy doctor in mad max fury road.
If Dod had become boss the family would've survived and the Kansas boys would've had their asses handed to them
Nahhh because of his mom they managed to almost defeat kansas
If werent for hanzee, and the stupidity of bear and dodd they would have won
Nope

Bear was always the mama's boy, respect.
It should be maaaaa
Dodd is the Jeffery bloke outta Blair Witch 2 🤫
A woman was the downfall of the family. Not just the mother but his own daughter helped bring em down.
No it was the man doofus the Ist. mistreated. Hanzee.
The tough, Minnesota mafiosi.....Aaahhhahahahaha

Throw communists out of helicopters oh wait.. fuck you! Haha that’s what I meant to say

Women don't generally make good bosses., because of their emotional instabillity.
