Release Fargo Year 3 on Blu-ray

The Issue

Similar to other FX and Fox shows, Fargo has fallen victim to a growing trend in the home media and streaming world. It was solely given a DVD release despite the fact that the previous two seasons were released on Blu-ray. Still, years later, there seems to be no plan of giving this season a Blu-ray release. This show has been lauded by both viewers and critics alike, with a fourth season coming out in 2020. Why not continue to support such a well-regarded and popular series in the Blu-ray format.

One of the main reasons Fargo Year 3 needs to be on Blu-ray is due to it distinct presentation. Fargo is such a visually stunning series, that it demands to be given a proper Blu-ray format. With this season in particular, they dialed down the blue color in the film which in contrast made colors such as red, orange and yellow, really stick out more. You can find out more about this at ScreenRant.

However Fargo is not the only victim of this trend. It’s a shame that the latest seasons of Archer and The Americans have been forced to a DVD release only. There are plenty of aching fans out there just waiting to purchase all of these series on Blu-ray. There are lots of fans who don’t watch shows on television likely because they don’t have cable or Dish Network. Ones who wait til the Blu-ray comes out and then watch them all in sequence that way.

Your voice can make a difference, a similar circumstance happened in the case of iZOMBIE, when the second season didn’t come out to Blu-ray. Due to overwhelming demand from fans, the second season was eventually given a Blu-ray release, despite initial attempts of releasing it as DVD only. Signing the petition is not all you have to do, contact FX and Fox entertainment, let them know you’re desire for getting any of these series a Blu-ray release.
 
While there is the option for digital, not everyone has internet access and with net neutrality now repealed by the FCC, streaming might not be a worthwhile option in coming months or years. That's why we at the very least deserve another high definition option to fall back on. With companies like Verizon and Comcast able to slow down internet speeds and charge more to access certain websites, online streaming especially in HD could be in jeopardy. Not only could prices be raised, but internet speeds intentionally slowed down by these companies. Having a physical Blu-ray release means no buffering or worries about a good or steady internet connection. All you need is the disc and you're set.

Thanks to everyone for all the support that this petition has received so far.
