Celebrated horror author Stephen King is singing praises for the fifth season of the anthology crime series Fargo, expressing his awe with the statement, “Never seen anything quite like it.” The legendary writer commended the offbeat and riveting nature of the show, emphasizing the stellar performances of Juno Temple and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
The latest season, which concluded recently, follows Juno Temple’s character, Dorothy “Dot” Lyon, a seemingly ordinary housewife whose past unravels after a disastrous middle school board meeting. Jennifer Jason Leigh portrays Lorraine Lyon, Dot’s wealthy mother-in-law, while Jon Hamm takes on the role of Sheriff Roy Tillman. King, renowned as the King of Horror, has a history of candidly sharing his opinions on pop culture, having previously defended the film “The Marvels” against online trolls celebrating its low box office performance.
As an avid consumer of entertainment, King also recommended the sci-fi horror film “No One Will Save You” as perfect Halloween viewing, describing it as “brilliant, daring, involving, and scary,” labeling it as a truly unique cinematic experience. King’s enthusiastic endorsement adds to the buzz around Fargo’s latest season and sheds light on noteworthy cinematic gems for fans of the horror genre.
