FARGO Season 5: Ole Munch Explained

I review, breakdown and explain Fargo season 5. I discuss episode 10, the finale, Ole Munch, his origin, the history behind the character and answer who he was. I react to the similarity to Gaear from the Fargo 1996 movie and the connection. I also give my theories and predictions on if Ole is actually hundreds of years old.

Do you think that Ole Munch was actually hundreds of years old? Or do you think he was just some guy that had some kind of mental illness and believed something that wasn't true? Let me know your thoughts below!

[Baci]

A man watches Fargo and enjoys it very much.

[SA-iwci]

"Have you seen a guy walking around here wearing a dress with a three stooges haircut?"

[atomicwendy]

his character was so layered and rich and interesting. and the way he truly had respect for Dot, was a beautiful thing.

[johnricercato]

Munch was brilliantly performed by Sam Spruell - an actor I hadn’t come across before. Deserves a good few awards.

[Speed_hunter]

Love this character, he’s such a classic F A R G O wild card

[nicholasgonzales]

the rage he expressed when discovering his landlady died was CREEPY. i hope this guy gets an award. my favorite character this season, easily

[RullXov]

I liked the Ole Munch character a lot because he was so mysterious. Whenever he appeared in a scene, I could feel the tension, but never knew what was going to happen. The idea of Ole Munch being mentally ill never entered my mind for some reason, but it makes sense. He could be a deranged, university history professor, but I think I prefer never knowing the answer, for sure.

[Mercenary-]

He is indeed 100's of years old. I think that is what the writers of this show wants the viewers to believe. The series has something in that...SEEMS Hanzee being Tripoli, or Aliens, and some say Malvo is the devil. Munch is 100's of years old.

[timbell]

Interesting theory but i think he is the super natural element to which makes Fargo the great quirky show that we love. Great video BrainPilot !

[deedelrio]

I think he is the supernatural element in this season. There is always one, right?

[Kimpoisaurus]

You forgot to mention that the man never appeared in security footage from the gas station. Not to mention how quick he disappeared when he wants. So i guess he’s trully what seemed to be the mythical demi human character in Fargo series that connected to the bible, folktale or some shits just like Malvo

[jcwoodman]

For our purposes I'm not sure it matters if he's really supernatural or just delusional because HE believes in his curse. This was his reality & Dorothy found the puzzles solution with human kindness....

[kisslena]

Amazing performance by Spruell. Totally captivating, single focused and intense.

[ChrisBanks-dc]

He was also Brenin Llwyd, a mythical welsh figure that was surrounded in a cloaked mist and preyed on unwary travelers. Just as he did in the final episode, appearing and dissapearing at will from the mist. I believe he was also a black dog, both malevolent and protector, in exchange for his board he protected the elderly woman. He sold his soul for the meal, allowed himself to become demonic, he wandered the earth making deals as the devil, and in the final episode he regained his soul and humanity.

Lorne Malvo was the devil, he enoyed inflicting suffering on others and enjoyed trickery. Munch lost his humanity and soul and became a demon, in the end he was able to regain his soul.

[karenrapoport]

I like the idea that he is a mix of a reincarnation of himself since the day of his original “curse”, paired with some obvious mental illness because how could you not be mentally deranged when you are stuck reliving centuries of that horrid past over and over again. Most importantly he serves as the living embodiment of debt and he behaves accordingly. An eye for any eye regardless what your reasons may be. That is, Until Dot breaks his curse with a biscuit made with love basically getting through his rigid code and reaching his long buried humanity and thus he comes full circle. so hopefully this is the last reincarnation cycle he has to live through and he can eventually die in peace?

[rootsm]

Ole had my attention the whole season but as with any Cohen brothers production, it begs the question “What does it mean and who cares?” Sam Spruell was phenomenal. I hope he gets bigger parts after this.

[agd]

I think Olé Munch was hundreds of years old. At the end he confesses the truth ( without going into detail) and Dot says " you need to eat something made with love and your sins will be forgiven. With that, Dot gives him the bisquit (bread) to eat as communion. He took in the body of christ and felt the holy spirit and that is why he was so happy at the end. He thought he was beyond redemption and the lord forgave him and granted him peace.

Ole Munch & V.M Varga.. The most mysterious characters on the silver screen🤌🏽

[EZPZEE]

You didnt cover anything about the old alcoholic woman. He protected her from her abusive son and she was a big part of his motivation for what he did to tje sheriff's son.
