So he was the devil right?

So he was the devil right?

What are some other tv shows with villains like him?
So much fun to watch.

Yes

Elaborate. I didn't get that out of season 1.

You kinda have to watch the rest of it to really get a sense of his nature but he's just a vicious force of nature. Similar to Anton Chigurh. He corrupts and fucks with everyoen and everything he comes into contact with.

>teleports out of a basement
You tell me. Best scene is when he tells the kid to piss in the lady's gas tank then goes and rats him out to her.

cy tolliver was the devil, look it up.

No, Varga was

>the devil is an anorexic small dicked snaggletooth who gets bested by a literal prostitute

More like god

I like how he made fun of the cheap Jew.

It was kek worthy.

I think he was God rather than the devil.

Very much looks like it.

He sees if people are corruptible, but then he punishes them for it if they are.

The devil doesn't punish, he just wants it going.

I still cant believe how detestable Lester became towards the end, sending his wife into the shop to die was just disgusting. They did a really great job making him out to be a rat

This was an amazing scene.

If you don't show them deep down where it counts your just going to get washed away.

Symbolically, sure

If he's the devil what is Varga?

Aces ;)

Varga is the symbol of coprorate evil.
old and rotten, but a pure manipulative liar in every way. Tries to dominate and control everything he has interest in and if he cant he’ll force is way in. If he thinks hes fucked he tries to buy his way out things

The story Malvo had Don Chumph read to El Mercado King was a parable explaining why he was so fucked up. In the end he can only get joy from hurting others, it's what he lives for, which is why he shot his fiancé and the dude with a huge bounty on his head.

This show is a film students wet dream. It thrives on its devotion to a dark but not inaccessible aesthetic with little else going on for it. Throw in some excessive violence and some quaint Minnesot-isms and you have an homage to a widely-revered classic. What saves the whole thing and makes it all work on its own level is the really great talent at work, which is not always a recipe for success.

tldr; there are no layers to this thing, regardless of what a bunch of stonered out college kids tell you

dude nihilism and/or religious symbolism lmao
