Segment 2 beginning at 31:35: The latest season of the FX series "Fargo" explores an altered world of organized crime in Kansas City.
Each episode of the series leads with the statement, "based on true events." While the season accurately captures the feel of mid-century Kansas City, the narrative is based mainly in fiction. "It's a true crime story that isn't true" according to mafia expert Terence O'Malley.
