A Fox, A Rabbit, And A Cabbage" is yet another example at how expert this series has been at generating tension; there were several scenes throughout where I found myself nearly unable to breathe.
I've liked Fargo all along, but "A Fox, A Rabbit and A Cabbage" marks the episode where I fell in love with the series. What a brilliant hour of television.
The level of suspense that Noah Hawley's script and Matt Shakman's direction create is almost unbearable, and that tension was palpable and powerful throughout the screening.
The hour moved at a swift pace to move the story forward while causing me anxiety each moment. The anticipation of what horrible event would happen was brilliantly nerve-wracking.
In the end, this is a surprising and sometimes astonishingly cinematic episode that begins to set up the end by pulling the various threads together with a sense of inevitability.
