It's no secret that Fargo Season 2 is better than Season 1, which was already great, and it's one of the best shows on TV even in this Golden Age.

I've heard some pretty strong arguments against having any "canon" in comics, and I tend to agree. What canon there is is mostly defined by the strong tradition of comics strips to superheroes to undergrounds, as exemplified by the Masters of American Comics show of a decade ago. I think a few old farts still argue about the Comics Journal's Top 100 Comics of the Twentieth Century, but we've come a long way in just 15 years. These canons just aren't diverse enough to reflect where comics have gone in just a very short time.
