If there's only one Hulu show you should watch this April, make it this one.

      While Netflix has made significant efforts to become synonymous with television, Hulu may possess a more extensive library of engaging and high-quality TV content. In addition to its vast collection, Hulu also creates numerous captivating shows on its own.

      Many of these productions arise from a collaboration with FX, which has been dedicated to producing outstanding shows for over a decade. One of the initial series that established FX's reputation for quality was Fargo, a unique and unconventional adaptation of the Coen Brothers film of the same name. Each season offers a new perspective on the backdrop and characters of the original movie, making every season worthwhile. Here’s why you should give it a watch:

      It attracts remarkable talent

      Fargo is an anthology series, meaning the cast changes every season. This lower commitment level allows the show to attract actors who might not typically sign on for longer projects.

      Throughout its multiple seasons, the show has included talents such as Jon Hamm, Kirsten Dunst, Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman, Chris Rock, and Jessie Buckley. Each of these performers is incredibly talented, and the show's adaptable format gives most of them the chance to explore roles outside of their usual types in intriguing, compelling ways.

      Every season balances humor and reflection

      One challenge of drawing inspiration from a film like Fargo is that the original is nearly flawless. Why engage with another piece of art if there's little chance of enhancing it?

      Although it’s difficult to claim that any single season surpasses the film, each season of Fargo is equally funny, quirky, and introspective as the movie from which it originates. Each season fundamentally examines themes of good, evil, and suffering, portraying its characters as real, vulnerable people trying to navigate a nonsensical world.

      The show is bold in its creative choices

      Not every ambitious choice in Fargo succeeds, but many do, contributing to the overall success of the series. The second season features a storyline involving aliens, Ewan McGregor portrays twins in the third season, and the fifth includes an assassin who appears to be immortal.

      Each of these plotlines represents a significant risk, but part of what makes Fargo outstanding is its willingness to experiment. Moreover, as the show reinvents itself with each new season, the decisions that don't pan out are not permanent fixtures.

      You can stream Fargo on Hulu.
