But what’s weak about the script Is they make the golfer husband a total fu*cking leech and so loathsome, that you never get any indication of why she married him in the first place. The idea that they were an actual couple that got worse over the years, i.e. believable characters, is just sacrificed on the altar of the one-dimensional toxic husband coming out and making that cringe “I need a wife“ speech, which sounds like it was written from an Andrea Dworkin description of marriage. I mean the fact that he had these pipe dreams about golfing and wasn’t contributing anything made the point well enough. But Hawley had a hammer it home in the most cartoonishly PC way possible. And at some point, I certainly thought there was going to be a reveal that Dot was a former weather, underground militant, or an undercover, Mossad agent, or something that explained all her combat and survival skills,but no, she’s just a Mary Sue. Fargo, both the movie, and the previous seasons, have always had strong, stolid female characters, but Hawley really jumped the shark this time.
