” found a surprising amount of elasticity within its constrained format. Each installment borrowed the tone of Joel and Ethan Coen’s 1996 Midwestern noir, which places human greed against a setting of frigid climate and rigid propriety, to tell increasingly complicated crime stories. Until now, the show’s big swings — like the 1970s-set, UFO-bedecked second season, still the best — have proved creator Noah Hawley’s ability to find moments of lived reality amid chaos.
That is not to say that what’s on-screen is weak, exactly. As Loy Cannon, the leader of a local crime family, Rock works to wring menace from his role; though he doesn’t always deliver fearsomeness in his outbursts, shutting off his charisma creates a threat that grows in power.
These pieces don’t consistently fit together: Buckley, in particular, is delivering a tic-laden performance vastly too big, though it’s hard to blame her. The scenes she shares with Crutchfield represent an unbridgeable gap between monstrous mania and the balm of normalcy; far from bringing out much of anything in one another, each occupies her own orbit.
Rock gets those notes, though, and plays them well. His observations, in a showdown with a character played by Jack Huston, about the way America “tricks you into robbing yourself” sparkle with a painstaking understanding of what it means to be on the outside, one that makes the viewer wonder why other aspects of the series are so tonally off.
