The Principle of Restricted Choice Ratings & Reviews
Flickering Myth
Shaun Munro
This is very much the lethargic second episode the show has essentially made its signature at this point.
Decider
Sean T. Collins
We live in a world run by racist monsters who would gladly murder your children in front of you if it meant an extra zero for their net worth, so you have to take your pleasure where you can get it, and I get it from Shea Whigham.
Refinery29
Courtney E. Smith
I'm guessing we'll all be able to enjoy this season without taking up bridge, but as an avid player, my Granny will enjoy the layers of it more than me.
Baltimore Sun
Zane Moses
Most excitingly, this episode sets up the war brewing between Emmit and Sy vs. Ray and Nikki. Things are moving faster and faster in this slow Midwestern town. There is bound to be much more pinheadery in future episodes.
Paste Magazine
Kyle Fowle
Back to identity: Everybody here is pretty sure of who they are, but "The Principle of Restricted Choice" shakes them out of that complacency.
Observer
Vinnie Mancuso
I am fascinated by the presence of Yuri-who with his partner, Nemo, dropped Emmit's lawyer Irv Blumkin off a parking deck-because of what it means for the increasingly widespread tale Noah Hawley is telling in season 3.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
"Principle" gives time to all the major players of the season so far, but its primary interest is in pushing the feud between Emmit and Ray to the next level.
Entertainment Weekly
Kevin P. Sullivan
In what has become typical Fargo fashion, last week's premiere opened with a curveball and then set the machinations of its larger crime story into motion.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
The crime through-line feels a touch flimsy at this point, but the characters are all still really fun and engaging and they keep the heart of the season pumping.
Rolling Stone
Noel Murray
It's a credit to the writing and the acting that although the players are clearly speaking the same stop-start language, they're easily distinguishable -- especially when played by the same actor.
Den of Geek
Nick Harley
Either I'm in a better mood this week or Fargo Season 3 really kicked it up a notch in episode two.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Brian Tallerico
The title refers to a theory in Bridge that playing a particular card decreases the probability of a player having any equivalent card. It fits perfectly for this episode as characters like Nikki, Sy, and Vargas are playing cards on their opponents.
New York Times
Scott Tobias
Ewan McGregor's dual role has been getting most of the attention so far, but Mary-Elizabeth Winstead's work as Nikki has been the bigger standout.
indieWire
Ben Travers
The driving conflict of Fargo often boils down to forceful determination and unflinching manners... It's enough to drive the more pushy among us mad, as we sit back and watch good people get taken advantage of, again and again.
TV Fanatic
Caralynn Lippo
Unfathomable pinheadery is a great way to sum up this season so far. And I say that in the best, most loving way.
