I thought True Detective lost some steam in the back half. It was just too...conventional, by the end, in my mind. Wheras Fargo never really let up at all. Good start to finish. And while I don't think Billy Bob Thornton's performance was on the same level as Matthew McConaughey's I did think it was an equally iconic role. As far as the series as a whole goes, I can't think of anything that would have made Fargo better. The cast was excellent, the plot was excellent, and the resolution was excellent. It really felt more like a 10-hour film than a limited series.

New television this good is a rare thing (hell, established shows this good are rare), and we've gotten it twice already this year.
