The House of Special Purpose Ratings & Reviews
Flickering Myth
Shaun Munro
"The House of Special Purpose" marks the mid-way point of Fargo's third season, and in many ways feels like a transitory episode, nodding towards the potential dark ends down the road for many of these characters.
Decider
Sean T. Collins
God bless the silence, restraint, and deliberately painstaking pacing of crime shows like Better Call Saul and The Americans, but there's something cathartic about watching everything collapse as quickly as possible.
Refinery29
Courtney E. Smith
The episode closes...in the style of a Shakespearean drama that just yells 'a plague on all your houses.'
Baltimore Sun
Zane Moses
The overarching plot leaps forward in this episode. Unfortunately, because the show has taken such bold chances in storytelling techniques, this plot-heavy episode feels like a step backward.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Brian Tallerico
A fantastic, tense, and very dark episode of Fargo ends with the brutal beating of a major character, and the sense that the violence is far from over.
New York Times
Scott Tobias
Over three seasons, Fargo has proved itself as a viable and satisfying piece of fan fiction, and Noah Hawley and his team are now spinning yarns (and yarns within yarns) with an unpracticed dexterity.
indieWire
Ben Travers
It finally happened. After four weeks of relatively harmless fun - save for the comically killed Maurice LaFay (Scoot McNairy) - Fargo took us to the emotional woodshed.
TV Fanatic
Caralynn Lippo
The various plots are beginning to condense and intertwine on Fargo Season 3 Episode 5, the midway point of the season.
Den of Geek
Nick Harley
Pressure is coming from all angles, and it makes this the most eventful episode of the season.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
Aside from a few clunky moments, Fargo's third season improved greatly this week as things escalated to violent levels after the Stussy brothers' feud finally began to yield dire consequences for members of the main cast.
Entertainment Weekly
Kevin P. Sullivan
This episode does progress things in a positive way, adding the emotional stakes that have been mostly missing so far.
AV Club
Zack Handlen
While it still suffers from some of the sluggishness that's been dragging down the season as a whole, "The House Of Special Purposes" takes steps toward bringing the larger thematic concerns of the tale of the Stussys and Gloria Burgle into clearer focus.
Paste Magazine
Kyle Fowle
What Fargo seems to be poking at is the little compromises we all make with ourselves to justify our indiscretions.
Observer
Vinnie Mancuso
If "The House of Special Purpose" is any indication things are plenty agitated already, and we're guaranteed to hear the pain before we see the results. First the poooooft, and then whatever deflated mess is left in the oven.
