Whether you're a fan of the series or not, Fargo season 4 is good tv. It just juggles too many characters. It's impossible to pick a horse because nobody gets quite enough screen time. No complaints about the overall plot, but it's really just about two gangs "at war". Also a nurse who kills people. And a super smart teenage girl. And an OCD cop. And a Mormon cop. And two bankrobbers. And morticians. And an Irish guy. It's too many ideas that loosely work together.
Some of the performances are excellent. Some are good but not great. Italian actor Salvatore Esposito has absolutely landed in Hollywood with his amazing character of Gaetano. Jason Schwartzman is funny as always, but talks like a hipster guy from LA, not an Italian-American in Kansas City. Swanee the bank robber is a terrible character, badly written and ludicrously over-acted by whoever she is. Meanwhile Andrew Bird, yes, the famous violinist, totally holds his own on screen as a timid mortician. Chris Rock is good, but I can't help but think there were better actors for the role. You get the idea.
This season is not as strong or airtight as S1 and 2 or 3, but it has some really amazing elements and you should stay with it.
