Fargo

“Gloria Burgle,” played by Carrie Coon, is a practical woman – the kind that grabs the extinguisher when the bacon catches fire and everyone else panics. Gloria is the chief of the Eden Valley Police, and a newly divorced mother, who is struggling to understand this new world where people connect more intimately with their phones than the people right in front of them.
