On the influence/value idea you mean like the Velvet Underground thing everyone says about their album that not many people bought it but everyone who did started a band? I was listening to Sam Esmail on a podcast talking about his ten favorite shows of 2016. He didn't think there was a masterpiece last year (he didn't talk about his own show except jokingly) but in 2015 Fargo S2 was a masterpiece. I've been thinking about this in comparison to Twin Peaks S1 and how totally difficult it is to make something original late in the game. I love Fargo S2 (a little more than you, I think). It's probably technically more beautiful than Twin Peaks 1 but it doesn't have the uncanny strangeness of tone that makes TP so f-ing compelling.
