Her connection is that she was in a relationship with Rust Cohle's father (died of eukemia), who's the spirit that points her to the bodies. In season one Cohle explains his back story. He came from Alaska where he lived with his father and some other details as well. Also the whole Tuttle Corp. thing. The season two connection is Navarro explaining how her sister was committed for schizophrenia years prior, in a place down in Nevada but hated it due to things she saw. In season two, Betty Chessani's mother (the Vinci Mayor's wife) was committed in a hospital in Nevada for schizophrenia and died there. Haven't noticed a season three connection yet but we already know that one and two are connected.
I really like this actress, but they really didn't give her anything to do. She just shows up once an episode for a scene where nothing happens and that's it.
>Oh are you fricking kidding me Navarro? Really? This wuku-wuku sky God bullshit again? Why don't you knock that rock together with another one and see if the ice spirits tell us what we need to know...frick's sakes...Someone get Prior on the phone
Oh, this is a supernatural show? I kind of assumed based off the show's title and how it looked like generic cop show #2235242325992 that it was anything but.
True Detective is basically an anthology show that mixes different horror genres with detective genres.
Season one is cosmic horror by way of Robert Chambers (King In Yellow writer who also created the "travel back in time and frick someone in the past" supernatural/magic cliche story) meets southern gothic/Faulkner stories
Season two is Elroy's LA Quartet noir stories filtered through the batshit crazy Giallo horror genre by way of non-Argento/Fulci/Bava Giallo directors
Season three is Boomercore mystery shows/movies starring Clint Eastwood by way of Stranger Things 80s nostalgia
Season four is 30 Days of Night/Thing artic horror shit filtered through magic realism novels.
This is such bullshit. I hate that this dumb b***h is trying to make it actually supernatural. Rust did a frickload of drugs while undercover and just had slight hallucinations there were no fricking ghosts.
yea theres been almost no progress since the frozen bodies
If anyone is into spoopy tv where the plot developers every episode, and dont mind a bit of shlock, Id recommend Helix. Season 1 is also set in some arctic shithole
>yea theres been almost no progress since the frozen bodies
yeah, they kinda stopped investigating the death of 7 people that would have the embassies of 7 nations and the state department descending upon ennis to sort this shit out. real true detectives.
Didn't this devolve into ancient (million+ year old frickers who were trying to limit access to the immortality goo? It left the frozen shithole facility in S2 and went fricking bonkers. Mr Science man went from generic science man with morals to fricking van hellsing tier anti-magic murder hobo or something.
Yea it goes all sorts of crazy, I dont remember the details, but it was done in an enjoyable way imo. Lesser sci-fi of the genre would trod through some safe storyline and try to sell it on relationships or some other character bullshit.
That's why I liked 'The Ark' last year. It went for it even if the production values and acting were comically shit or hammy as frick. Sometimes you just need to go for it.
season four is good. the critics reviews are like season one's, I think disney execs have people review bombing it for the viewer ratings
season four goes a little too much into the 'strong woman' thing. but it's helmed by a woman and it's really good. Disney has a lot of crappy movies and tv series helmed by women, and when the crappy films and series bomb they say sexism is the reason terrible movies do poorly. Disney wants season four to fail so they can keep blaming sexism for their terrible creative decisions
the characters are interesting enough for viewers to get invested. it presents things in shades of grey- the mine is bad for the water and for the environment, but half the town works for the mine. the town would not survive without the mine (which is killing them). it has lots of easter eggs that refer to season one, and some to seasons two and three
season one is (in my opinion) the best season of television in any series. season two was disappointing, it was interesting for a few episodes then went nowhere. I like the characters and the acting, but they thought they had more episodes than they did. season three is really good. and so far season four is at least as good as season three, not as good as season one but still good
and the Jodi Foster body double for the scenes where she's in her underwear is pretty good. not as good as naked Alexandra Daddario, but pretty good
>the characters are interesting enough for viewers to get invested.
No. Only Prior is likeable and interesting. >the mine is bad for the water and for the environment, but half the town works for the mine
I don't care. I'm here for the murder mystery.

the mystery in season one wasn't much a mystery. there was an evil cult (led by the Biden family, but they changed the name ot Childress). the Bidens had enough criminal and political connections to make the investigation difficult
season four ties directly to the Bidens, the mystery is the barrier between the living and the dead is torn open. forty million of biden's votes in 2020 were dead people voting, that damaged the barrier between the living and the dead. and the bidens have enough political power to slow down investigations into their treason and crimes
if this is true its gonna be hilarious. pretty much everyone saw the wind river plot coming halfway into to first episode.
looking forward to see if how they wrap up the contaminated water/environment plot.
also if danvers and navarro are really going to cover it up its going to be the SECOND time they do this - which really takes away the gravitas-
>6 hours to tell a more adult version of a Scooby-Doo episode >cops spend all this time and resources just to excuse a vengeance killing
Its so moronic I believe it.
There's no time, last two episodes are POVs from dad prior's ucrananian camprostitute sugarbaby, leading up to the trip that didn't make it to alaska and instead detoured to louisiana. Final line is spoken by Marty in front of a charter plane: "Hotfallingdevil? I'm true detective"
Alright, so what needs to be wrapped up in the next two episodes? >the circumstances behind the eskimo girl at the mine’s death >her connection with the fellow at the research station >where that guy went/what happened to him >how the druggie got his parka >what “she’s awake” means >what happened to the rest of the scientists >what the deal is with the dirty water >what role the mining company plays in all of this >what role the Tuttles play in Tsalal >what’s going on with the dirty water >where the ice caves are/what happened there with the druggie guy >where the standoffish Eskimo at the camp went >how much of the supernatural shit is real >what the deal with the spiral is
Not to mention the interpersonal drama: >JoFo and her daughter >JoFo and her dead kid >Pryor and his wife >Cheek piercings and JoFo >Pryor’s dad and the catfish
Are they going to be able to pull this off? Any other threads I’m missing?
I don't think they'll wrap everything up, or spell everything out. Disney makes tv series where viewers aren't expecting to do any thinking for figure anything, and most are not very good.
season one didn't wrap much up, the biden cult was still out there and still abducting children. the spiral cult was still trying to find its way to carcossa and the king in yellow (spongebob). we'll probably get an explanation for the scientists and annie kowtok, but it will be left unclear if there is a supernatural element. there is a lot of symbols and references to people looking the other way, whatever danvers' investigation finds will get swept under the rug. we may get an appearance from matthew mconauhey if we're lucky, since his dad is in this season.
and we won't get any alexandria daddario level nudity, but very few tv series get that kind of nudity. we'll get more of jodi foster's body double hooking up with old dudes
>40 minutes of unlikeable slobs doing drama >5 minutes of OOOH LOOK AT THAT SPIRAL, LOOK AT THAT BEAR >repeat each episode
Welp it's pretty obvious this show ain't gonna learn any new tricks. Even the old ones are stolen from the better shows. I think it's a solid 3 from me, womensisters.
Dumbass posts a screenshot of Rust hallucinating after the plot has previously established (I think in episode 2) that he took a shitload of drugs while undercover and it's left him with troubling hallucinations. Not ghosts, not supernatural shit, just fricked up brain chemistry. Nice try - Night Country is a different genre of show altogether. It's a shame b/c Jodie Foster is GXHtotally wasted here.
The issue is they’re just throwing all of these things at you to the point that the last 2 episodes would need to be just answering questions
You should answer questions as you go through the story
We know that Rust has hallucinations caused by drugs in episode 1. We have an explanation. Then they introduce ambiguity and the idea that “huh maybe this is both a drug hallucination AND a vision”
The real issue is that it's just incredibly tasteless and regurgitated. While formally there is logic behind it it just feels and looks like a shitty noughties teen horror.
Wow what a captivating show so far. I guess the final episodes will tell the tale. The tale being if there's any True Detecting going on or if it's all just fake spiral safari.
>Brown woman is a spirit shaman and schizophrenia isn’t being CRAZY it’s just having a deep connection to the world that yts can’t handle

I only watched the first season but did really like it
They leave the “is she schizophrenic or a shaman” thing actually vague enough that you could interpret it both ways
>That's good. That's like a Season 4 thread. Ain't nobody got nothing to say about a Season 4 Thread. Season 2 thread? Bring a smile to your face. Season 1?

navarro got owned by three white dudes. i actually expected her to beat the shit out of all of them somehow.
this show is good tbh but i think the main plot isn't going to go anywhere and they've rinsed all that they can out of the navarro/denvers conflict already

I watched the first 2 episodes, what's all the seething about? Is it really because of one or two jokes about 'white people don't season they food'? It's clearly meant as a joke. So far it's decent, obviously doesn't touch the original season but nothing ever will
there are many more woke elements that those "jokes", but in todays episode there wasnt any woke stuff, and it was trash
there is nothing in this show to watch
How many of us will feel what Hank felt this episode you guys? Truly a heartbreaking moment. A big shoutout to all my homies whom got got my some Russian mailbride scam. This episode was for you.
>cop >falls for this >30+ years after it became widely known and mocked
Yanks cops really are fricking moronic. This isn't a good 'attack' on men, it just singles him out as a fricking laughing stock who shouldn't have ever got to his position without some kind of 'help'.
>I thought S3 was kinda bad but this is an all new low
somewhat intriguing start but halfwas through it fizzles out, there's good clues to follow up on but they end up murking one of the suspects and are forced to drop the case for several decades, during which the focus is on personal life drama and hays' dementia with him solving the case at old age in his demented ass brain when it's not even clear if it actually happened or if he simply imagined all the shit. then he also instantly forgets that he actually solved he case which troubled him his whole life.
humiliating the chud who can't get it on with hotties from his own country and has to rely on mail-order brides, but gets scammed in doing so. dude's clearly an antagonist and in the teasers it appears as if he's going to murder his own son or somebody else and hide their body under the ice
Guy theorized a few threads back that Danvers is actually catfishing him to frick with his head, every time she has gotten a notification on her phone and says its fantasy football or tinder it's actually her responding to a text from Boomer cop while pretending to be svetlana.
I think this may be the worst show I've ever seen with worst actors and directing and writing though I don't watch most of the other shit that gets put out. I think that those quantum mechanics plot shows are probably even badder.
He's so dead. >only competent one >only one doing chiefs orders >everyone else is clearly on the payroll >chief is a lazy piece of shit who leaves the actual work to the kid (denying him eve dinner with family), yet goes home to play house with her adopted shitstain, then drinks to stupor (charge her with something for fricks sake, she doesn't deserve even this posting, drop her rank).
I have no idea how to even meme about this, the show is so deflated and soulless. It's the definition of unfun. Reminds me of recent Bloodlines 2 trailer, all it needs is to have Danvers internalize "HE'S HIDING SOMETHING" prompts.
I know they planned true detective to be an anthology, but honestly after the first season nobody cared about it at all. Second season was garbage, third was garbage too, I don't even know what this shit is. The first season was so successful and the characters so popular that everything after is just studio's attempts to recreate the success, which is why all later season feel like a parody of the first season. Also woke trash, not watchable.
Last episode was good. Less woke, less meme-speak, except for the You should see the other guy line, but it felt more natural and not some AI generated dialogue this time. The investigation is finally going somewhere and it felt like it was because of the detectives, not just someone handing them everything on a platter. Doctor Who is based. Jodie has so many issues, but we finally get a scene where her dead husband and kid are mentioned. The boat and bear didn't feel as badly CGI as in episode 1 and 3. Navarro has issues too. Her bf is the best. I kind of felt bad for drunk abusive daddy cop. It's mostly due to the actor nailing it. He's not some cartoon-tier bad guy anymore.
Too bad it took half the fricking season to finally get a good episode. 75% chances of them pulling an Amber Heard and shitting the bed next episode though. Oh, and the first episode where the sister relationship felt genuine and interesting. Then she died.
It's fun to see 2 leads with such self-destructing tendencies kind of balancing themselves out. Too bad it was so badly written before we got there. But Navarro getting her as kicked on purpose was a good scene. It felt like an actual character moment and not some woke preachy thing about wife beaters with some Ip Man super fighter.
The episode makes me mad because this is what we could have had the whole fricking time.
And Danvers pleading for her daughter and the angry woman letting her go was also a good scene.
Nah, AI writes netter than me. I'm ESL through and through.
Now take a deep breath and curb your African-American revenge fantasies. Your dick is enough. Your height is enough. You are enough.
Peace out bro. Don't let the bedbugs bite. Oh, and please try to stop shitting in the streets. You don't live in India anymore.
I'm enjoying this season. I live in Iowa and when the 1st episode came out we had that huge snow storm followed by another snow storm so watching it all warm and shit was super comfy. Still, I like the acting and I'm enjoying the mysteries. Still doesn't hold a candle to S1 and S2. I barely remember S3 but I found it funny the way you can tell what time period it was based on Ali's hair.
It's extremely typical of this show to have Navarro attack those guys out of nowhere and still bring it around to make them the buttholes. It tells you what you need to know.
what i liked even more tho are those short flashbacks to remind the viewer of who the characters in quesitons actually were. same with the otis dude they find at that one compound
the show's creators make it clear that they consider anyone who's still watching by this point a moron who needs constant flashbacks in order to understand what they see on the screen
How media illiterate do you have to be to see it this way? Maybe you're the one who hates white men if you are always going to be against them on reaction.
You don't see the issue with a deliberate decision to make it be 3 on 1, 2 holding her while the other guy decks her, then kicking her on the ground? It could have been an honest fight, 1:1, where she gets her ass kicked but that would have A) made their precious woman of colour protagonist look weak and B) missed an opportunity to show what buttholes white men are. You cannot be talking to me about media literacy if you can't see the reasoning behind them making the scene that way.
it's perfectly in character for a person who hates her and just got assaulted by her to want to beat her up, what kind of noble power fantasy are you expecting here from some random scumbag
>it's perfectly in character for a person who hates her and just got assaulted by her to want to beat her up,
Oh sure. But it's not necessary for there to be three of them, it's not nmecessary for them to hold her back while the other guy goes to town. These are choices made for the sole purpose of mitigating her shittiness, by making her opponents more shitty. Why do you think they did it that way if not that?
Three people beating someone bloody is LESS brutal than one person beating someone to the same level of bloodiness.

Literally yes. One dude straddling her and pulverizing her face looks like a complete psycho. Three dudes kicking her on the ground just look like hot blooded street thugs. It's the same reason why serial killers get more news than gang violence.

You say this like it would be the most scandalizing thing you've ever seen in a TV show.
The writers cast the scenario this way to accentuate that Navarro was making a stupid, impulsive decision. But your moron brain can't comprehend that Navarro and Danvers are clearly flawed, if not bad people.
Why does there need to be 3 of them to show that? Attacking the one guy would show it just as well. You only need 3 guys if you want to have a shot of two guys holding a woman while a third punches her in the face.
I don't think I will even torrent this.
Is this a new anti-piracy measure from Hollywood? Make shows and movies that are so shitty that people stop stealing them?
It's working.
i mean it was already done after S3 and should've been shelved until pizza comes up with a great idea again. maybe some other wlel known crime writer could take a shot, but not some middle-aged hag whose only laurels so far are mexican telenovelas and generic horror flicks with a rating of ~5 on imdb
Supposedly Pizza and Mcconaughey were working on an adaptation of a book but it got dropped. Not sure how I feel about seeing Mcconaughey again, it might feel too much like the same character and a Rust cinematic universe seems like the wrong direction.
>the scariest thing a woman can think of is another woman with her mouth wide open screaming
why the frick is this trope used CONSTANTLY in shitty woman targeted shows
the ancient bacteria revived murder victim is just a cold looking woman who screams and bursts your eardrums and black cop can handle it because her family line has the ghost seeing gene and it didn't scare her to death like the scientists what a moronic plot
>oh boy, I sure am really sad that the unlikable, ugly, bluehaired snow-indian killer herself after we basically knew nothing about her character other than that she's le crazy >It's definitely not gonna be excruciatingly boring spending half the episode on her and the reactions to her suicide
Why the frick did Jodie take this role
She's stated several times in interviews she gets to be picky and it's incredibly rare to find good roles worth doing, and she's done mostly solid stuff up until this
Did her brain rot or something
I thought for a second they weren't going to do the obvious thing, they were going to let him have his russian mail order bride and be happy to subvert this hackey trope. But it's not that kind of show.
I think Prior will live but he'll either quit being a cop or he'll stay a cop but they'll frame it as a bad thing, like he's just resigned to it and destined to grow up as broken as Danvers
Like the 3 times it happened in 4 episodes?
It's a white people show. Except for Navarro, but she's so out of touch that her white bf knows more about and is more connected with the natives than she is. She's basically a white (as in culture) pretending to be a native, even though she knows nothing about what it means, and the show makes that very, very clear.
Even Danvers step daughter is basically white and is just learning about the culture. Not that the show tells us what she i actually learning because the show sucks so much it's like it was written by someone who did no research at all.
Culturally. There is NO native culture/lore in the show. It's all white shit. Well, I guess we got the birthing house. That 1 thing. But what did we hear about it except that it was the last? Nothing.
What did we learn about the chin tats and why the step daughter wants them? NOTHING.
Because that would require research and devoting time to explain shit.
That show is even worst than exploitation movies/shows since they at least provided a few explanations when using natives. It's a fricking virtue signaling show with no depth at all. Calling it surface level is giving it too much depth. It uses natives and native motifs like I use cheap prostitutes.
>It uses natives and native motifs like I use cheap prostitutes.
It busts prematurely, starts crying and apologises while scurrying out the door?
weird metaphor
Yet the show points out that she is completely out of her native culture. Skin color doesn't mean much. Compare Navarro with what's her name lesbian daughter. Navarro whines but doesn't do anything to correct her lack of native culture knowledge. She even ask her white bf to do native things for her. She talks big, that's all. The lesbian daughter tries to get to know her own culture. She knows it must be her learning and that it's not just in her blood or some bullshit. It takes effort and sacrifices.
It's obviously a big theme of the show, but it's so badly done that it basically amounts to nothing so far.
The show could have been so good in the right hands.

Maybe irl, but not the character. The character was said to be white in the show itself by Navarro. More than once.
I can't wait till all these upjumped conniving secretaries start raping en masse using their status and power and they themselves get cancelled, returning tv and movie productions to order, at the hands of gross fat israelites with insatiable sex drives that requires kino come into being to prop up their prostitutes.
As I was typing this the coca cola polar bear waved at jodie foster and the navarro woman spergs out, picks a fight with men and gets pummeled instantly. What the frick am I doing to myself watching this tripe.
We can all agree that the 'writer' just put a bunch of movie sin chat GPT and submitted the script, right?
The Donny Darko one-eye bear/rabbit did take me by surprise. i didn't see that coming as a movie she would have added to her prompts.
Names of shows? I love the setting. Not that they did anything with it in NC except for in episode 4 a little. I found some of the shots better than in the first 3 episodes.
Or maybe I should just rewatch Northern Exposure. That was a comfy show.
The Head and Fortitude are the main two. The Head is about these people at an arctic research facility who get killed and when their replacement shift comes in they have to figure out who did it. It's not good but because of the setting I tolerated it until the big reveal. I can't remember much of Fortitude there was a mastodon that thawed out and then some sort of wasps with an ancient disease and there was also some murder and an architect guy with a fat gf. I was on a bender when I watched that so I don't remember much.
Nah, she's just a Mexican telenovela writer trying pants that are too big for her.
This is what zoomers think deep is. A reference to something else. So what? It's not enough. Yes, you referenced something, but what are you doing with that reference? That's the real question. Most of the times in modern movies and tv shows, the answer is nothing. We're expected to clap like seals and praise the writers like they were Dagon giving our starving village a bounty of fishes.
Also i missed whenever they mentioned that the research station was set up by the Tutle family
I have been just watching this at like 25% attention so its my fault, can anybody tell me when they said it
>Late in episode 2, junior detective Peter Prior (Finn Bennett) shares his findings about the financial backing of the Tsalal research station with his boss Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster).
>“The NGO that funds the station, if you follow the taxes you can trace it back to a shell company called NC Global Strategies, which in turn belongs to Tuttle United,” Prior says. >“Tuttle United – what do they do?” Danvers asks. >“Oh everything. Glass, tech, video games, shipments, palm oil, cruise lines … “

The ending is... okay?
Could have been a good show if the ending could have been predicted while watching the show.
The girl missing 2 fingers (Blair, like the guy in The Thing and like the Witch) killed the scientists by 'witchcraft' aka toxin from a poisonous fish. They died paralyzed and their body froze with that expression of pain/anguish they had when the paralysis finally took hold.
They killed Annie because she found fossils that would have meant to end of the research station's ability to dug for core samples at that place. The mine is not to blame and the black water isn't toxic, just gross and not their fault anyway.
The druggie who had the same symptoms as the scientists was Blair's ex-boyfriend who raped her after they broke up. Clark doesn't know this. Blair doesn't want to hurt Clark, he was good to Annie, but he's crazy and doesn't know that so end up killing her in the end.
Pete dies. His dad stops drinking to honor his memory and be a good grandad to his grandson. His drunk frick friend from episode one is the catfish. She give shim back him money and says she did it because she loves him and wanted more than just the occasional hook-up. Maybe they'll get together at some point, but now both are dealing with their trying to quit drinking.
Danvers dies in Navarro's harms after saving her life when Clark goes apeshit trigger happy at the station.
Supernatural is left unresolved. The bear is never explained. No bacteria thing. The guy who left before Annie's murder and why he fled is never brought up again or explained.
The quote from 1 used in the finale of S4 that made that critic shout at his screen is this:
This place is like somebody's memory of a town, and the memory is fading. It's like there was never anything here but ice."
The fat blue-haired girl goes crazy, taking off her clothes in the street, and she does it again on the ice and neatly folds her clothes just like the scientists did. Shit in the water supply making people go crazy confirmed.
>hillbilly season from the previous episode
I have no idea what you mean.
Naked because Blair took their clothes off so their bodies would freeze together. Why? Not explained. Why did she fold the clothes? She's a maid. I wish I was making this up. It was 'second nature' for her to fold them. But Hank has a good line for that: "Crazy b***h did crazy things." So maybe she was unhinged and making a corpse ice sculpture and folding clothes of men she killed was normal to her idk
I mean, you see the sister folding he rclothes before killing herself, but they never tie the two things together.
The oranges... is a symbol of fertility. It ties with the high rate of babies dying. It's dream symbolism. The visions might or might not be real. I forgot to mentioned that the scientists used illegal ultrasound tools to drill the ice and that it, the reason the babies are dying and animals go crazy (there's a scene with the dogs in episode 5 that's pretty good). It also explains the blood in the ears. Blair took her victims to the fossil tunnels. At that proximity without protection their eardrums burst. Same as in the end of episode 4 for Navarro, except that hers didn't burst, they got damaged as she wasn't in the tunnels themselves. Clark started the forage up again for a reason that will never be explained. But him being crazy might be reason enough. So Clark was responsible for the dead baby in episode 3, but he's not aware/sane enough to figure it out. His insanity began after Annie's death. He found the body. He didn't suspect his colleagues for some reason. He didn't suspect the sonic drills of hurting the population either. He's kind of a dumbass for a scientist that was supposed to be in charge.
NTA but journos get review copies. or he might be full of shit who knows.
that erik kain guy from forbes said in his spoiler-free review the murder mystery is the most predictable and stupid plot you could possibly imagine, as well as all the supernatural aspects being just that - supernatural spooky jumpscares with no explanation at all.
Not only that, he specifically hinted at the audience guessing right when they called it a Wind River ripoff. Tbh it's more like Wind River and The Last Winter combined.
Love how gringos are shidding and farding in excitement about the virtue signalling possibilities that watching a show directed by a female minority, when the truth is that Issa was in most certainty born into the priviledged 1% in Mexico for her to have built a career in showbiz in the first place. Knowing how things work here, if she isn't a spoiled nepobabby I'll eat my shoe.
I would never post here usually but this thread and the one yesterday has utterly disgusted me.
Shame on all of you, using a tv program as a vehicle for your own racism and sexism.
If you don't like something then you should just move on to something you do like and leave others alone. For the good of humanity, hopefully that other thing you do like is playing in traffic!
Are you really wishing the death of people on the internet? You are a psychopath and I have reported you to the proper authorities.
If people stayed silent about what they didn't like, Hitler would be running things and slavery would still be a thing.

? I haven't seen much racism or skepticism, even for Cinemaphile's standards. I'm sure most of us would have loved for this to be good, there's the nuts and bolts of a great idea here, the setting is perfect, but it's just not coming together proper good.
Say what you will about this show, it's at least gives us non-passing tall trans women a great role model in Navaro's character.
If she can be muscular, tall and intimidating while also being feminine and sexy, then so can we.

Her connection is that she was in a relationship with Rust Cohle's father (died of eukemia), who's the spirit that points her to the bodies. In season one Cohle explains his back story. He came from Alaska where he lived with his father and some other details as well. Also the whole Tuttle Corp. thing. The season two connection is Navarro explaining how her sister was committed for schizophrenia years prior, in a place down in Nevada but hated it due to things she saw. In season two, Betty Chessani's mother (the Vinci Mayor's wife) was committed in a hospital in Nevada for schizophrenia and died there. Haven't noticed a season three connection yet but we already know that one and two are connected.
I've wondered if maybe she makes lsd for the same gang as season 1.
Is she tall? Like towering over others tall? That was a distinctive characteristic of all the Childress and Ledoux
I really like this actress, but they really didn't give her anything to do. She just shows up once an episode for a scene where nothing happens and that's it.
Was she the lady all dressed up for dinner in the latest episode? If not, who the frick was that and why did Navaro go visit her?

Oh, this is a supernatural show? I kind of assumed based off the show's title and how it looked like generic cop show #2235242325992 that it was anything but.
Yes and no.
True Detective is basically an anthology show that mixes different horror genres with detective genres.
Season one is cosmic horror by way of Robert Chambers (King In Yellow writer who also created the "travel back in time and frick someone in the past" supernatural/magic cliche story) meets southern gothic/Faulkner stories
Season two is Elroy's LA Quartet noir stories filtered through the batshit crazy Giallo horror genre by way of non-Argento/Fulci/Bava Giallo directors
Season three is Boomercore mystery shows/movies starring Clint Eastwood by way of Stranger Things 80s nostalgia
Season four is 30 Days of Night/Thing artic horror shit filtered through magic realism novels.
This is such bullshit. I hate that this dumb b***h is trying to make it actually supernatural. Rust did a frickload of drugs while undercover and just had slight hallucinations there were no fricking ghosts.
>Slight hallucinations
They were still hallucinations, their purpose was to ehnance the atmosphere, not to provide jumpscares
Rust saw Carcosa
Wow that's just like seeing fricking ghosts every five minutes.
Literally the same thing as spooky sadako girl going PEEKABOO, also I'm trans.
yea theres been almost no progress since the frozen bodies
If anyone is into spoopy tv where the plot developers every episode, and dont mind a bit of shlock, Id recommend Helix. Season 1 is also set in some arctic shithole
You're a lousy salesman.
Here, allow me.
>yea theres been almost no progress since the frozen bodies
yeah, they kinda stopped investigating the death of 7 people that would have the embassies of 7 nations and the state department descending upon ennis to sort this shit out. real true detectives.
Didn't this devolve into ancient (million+ year old frickers who were trying to limit access to the immortality goo? It left the frozen shithole facility in S2 and went fricking bonkers. Mr Science man went from generic science man with morals to fricking van hellsing tier anti-magic murder hobo or something.
This thing jumped all the fricking sharks IIRC.
Yea it goes all sorts of crazy, I dont remember the details, but it was done in an enjoyable way imo. Lesser sci-fi of the genre would trod through some safe storyline and try to sell it on relationships or some other character bullshit.
That's why I liked 'The Ark' last year. It went for it even if the production values and acting were comically shit or hammy as frick. Sometimes you just need to go for it.
Ill have to check that out. Cant be worse than this garbage by now.

I think they might have because he just said he's not taking the case from her.
season four is good. the critics reviews are like season one's, I think disney execs have people review bombing it for the viewer ratings
season four goes a little too much into the 'strong woman' thing. but it's helmed by a woman and it's really good. Disney has a lot of crappy movies and tv series helmed by women, and when the crappy films and series bomb they say sexism is the reason terrible movies do poorly. Disney wants season four to fail so they can keep blaming sexism for their terrible creative decisions
>season four is good.
whats good about it? elaborate
the characters are interesting enough for viewers to get invested. it presents things in shades of grey- the mine is bad for the water and for the environment, but half the town works for the mine. the town would not survive without the mine (which is killing them). it has lots of easter eggs that refer to season one, and some to seasons two and three
season one is (in my opinion) the best season of television in any series. season two was disappointing, it was interesting for a few episodes then went nowhere. I like the characters and the acting, but they thought they had more episodes than they did. season three is really good. and so far season four is at least as good as season three, not as good as season one but still good
and the Jodi Foster body double for the scenes where she's in her underwear is pretty good. not as good as naked Alexandra Daddario, but pretty good
>the characters are interesting enough for viewers to get invested.
No. Only Prior is likeable and interesting.

the mystery in season one wasn't much a mystery. there was an evil cult (led by the Biden family, but they changed the name ot Childress). the Bidens had enough criminal and political connections to make the investigation difficult
season four ties directly to the Bidens, the mystery is the barrier between the living and the dead is torn open. forty million of biden's votes in 2020 were dead people voting, that damaged the barrier between the living and the dead. and the bidens have enough political power to slow down investigations into their treason and crimes
I hate the show too but Erik Kain is a garbage reviewer. Find me someone better shitting on the show.

I can't imagine how thats possible.
if this is true its gonna be hilarious. pretty much everyone saw the wind river plot coming halfway into to first episode.
looking forward to see if how they wrap up the contaminated water/environment plot.
also if danvers and navarro are really going to cover it up its going to be the SECOND time they do this - which really takes away the gravitas-

Anon, they most likely won't explain shit.
There's no time, last two episodes are POVs from dad prior's ucrananian camprostitute sugarbaby, leading up to the trip that didn't make it to alaska and instead detoured to louisiana. Final line is spoken by Marty in front of a charter plane: "Hotfallingdevil? I'm true detective"

I don't think they'll wrap everything up, or spell everything out. Disney makes tv series where viewers aren't expecting to do any thinking for figure anything, and most are not very good.
season one didn't wrap much up, the biden cult was still out there and still abducting children. the spiral cult was still trying to find its way to carcossa and the king in yellow (spongebob). we'll probably get an explanation for the scientists and annie kowtok, but it will be left unclear if there is a supernatural element. there is a lot of symbols and references to people looking the other way, whatever danvers' investigation finds will get swept under the rug. we may get an appearance from matthew mconauhey if we're lucky, since his dad is in this season.
and we won't get any alexandria daddario level nudity, but very few tv series get that kind of nudity. we'll get more of jodi foster's body double hooking up with old dudes
dubs! we may get a repeat of the 'time is a flat circus' line from season one
>the spiral cult was still trying to find its way to carcossa and the king in yellow (spongebob)
Quavvik confirmed as the final boss of the season and the Ennis area enforcer for the Tuttles.

Welp it's pretty obvious this show ain't gonna learn any new tricks. Even the old ones are stolen from the better shows. I think it's a solid 3 from me, womensisters.
Dumbass posts a screenshot of Rust hallucinating after the plot has previously established (I think in episode 2) that he took a shitload of drugs while undercover and it's left him with troubling hallucinations. Not ghosts, not supernatural shit, just fricked up brain chemistry. Nice try - Night Country is a different genre of show altogether. It's a shame b/c Jodie Foster is GXHtotally wasted here.
Tbh in S4 it's the (possible) schizo b***h cop that's seeing those ghost girls, so there's the excuse.
The issue is they’re just throwing all of these things at you to the point that the last 2 episodes would need to be just answering questions
You should answer questions as you go through the story
We know that Rust has hallucinations caused by drugs in episode 1. We have an explanation. Then they introduce ambiguity and the idea that “huh maybe this is both a drug hallucination AND a vision”
I think ancient snow bugs make them crazy.
Caribou knew this.
The real issue is that it's just incredibly tasteless and regurgitated. While formally there is logic behind it it just feels and looks like a shitty noughties teen horror.
He never hallucinated that hard before, and it happened specifically in the place where the pedo rituals took place.
Should i watch this or rewatch S1?
Wow what a captivating show so far. I guess the final episodes will tell the tale. The tale being if there's any True Detecting going on or if it's all just fake spiral safari.

I watched the first 2 episodes, what's all the seething about? Is it really because of one or two jokes about 'white people don't season they food'? It's clearly meant as a joke. So far it's decent, obviously doesn't touch the original season but nothing ever will
holy shit, this was bad, the worst episode so far
there are many more woke elements that those "jokes", but in todays episode there wasnt any woke stuff, and it was trash
there is nothing in this show to watch

>I thought S3 was kinda bad but this is an all new low
somewhat intriguing start but halfwas through it fizzles out, there's good clues to follow up on but they end up murking one of the suspects and are forced to drop the case for several decades, during which the focus is on personal life drama and hays' dementia with him solving the case at old age in his demented ass brain when it's not even clear if it actually happened or if he simply imagined all the shit. then he also instantly forgets that he actually solved he case which troubled him his whole life.
Jodie Foster is great. I haven't watched True Detective and don't care about it.
What's the purpose of the russian bride side-plot? I just don't understand why there's a few moments every episode painting this guy as a pathetic.
humiliating the chud who can't get it on with hotties from his own country and has to rely on mail-order brides, but gets scammed in doing so. dude's clearly an antagonist and in the teasers it appears as if he's going to murder his own son or somebody else and hide their body under the ice

I know they planned true detective to be an anthology, but honestly after the first season nobody cared about it at all. Second season was garbage, third was garbage too, I don't even know what this shit is. The first season was so successful and the characters so popular that everything after is just studio's attempts to recreate the success, which is why all later season feel like a parody of the first season. Also woke trash, not watchable.
What kind of person wears a sideways crucifix?
That's pretty common I don't think there is anything sinister about it.
Last episode was good. Less woke, less meme-speak, except for the You should see the other guy line, but it felt more natural and not some AI generated dialogue this time. The investigation is finally going somewhere and it felt like it was because of the detectives, not just someone handing them everything on a platter. Doctor Who is based. Jodie has so many issues, but we finally get a scene where her dead husband and kid are mentioned. The boat and bear didn't feel as badly CGI as in episode 1 and 3. Navarro has issues too. Her bf is the best. I kind of felt bad for drunk abusive daddy cop. It's mostly due to the actor nailing it. He's not some cartoon-tier bad guy anymore.
Too bad it took half the fricking season to finally get a good episode. 75% chances of them pulling an Amber Heard and shitting the bed next episode though. Oh, and the first episode where the sister relationship felt genuine and interesting. Then she died.
It's fun to see 2 leads with such self-destructing tendencies kind of balancing themselves out. Too bad it was so badly written before we got there. But Navarro getting her as kicked on purpose was a good scene. It felt like an actual character moment and not some woke preachy thing about wife beaters with some Ip Man super fighter.
The episode makes me mad because this is what we could have had the whole fricking time.
And Danvers pleading for her daughter and the angry woman letting her go was also a good scene.
this reads like AI slop. have a nice day Black person.

which timeline are you from?
I'm enjoying this season. I live in Iowa and when the 1st episode came out we had that huge snow storm followed by another snow storm so watching it all warm and shit was super comfy. Still, I like the acting and I'm enjoying the mysteries. Still doesn't hold a candle to S1 and S2. I barely remember S3 but I found it funny the way you can tell what time period it was based on Ali's hair.
It's extremely typical of this show to have Navarro attack those guys out of nowhere and still bring it around to make them the buttholes. It tells you what you need to know.
she was clearly in the wrong and they were still buttholes.
There's practically an identical scene in season 3
what i liked even more tho are those short flashbacks to remind the viewer of who the characters in quesitons actually were. same with the otis dude they find at that one compound
the show's creators make it clear that they consider anyone who's still watching by this point a moron who needs constant flashbacks in order to understand what they see on the screen
>still bring it around to make them the buttholes
How media illiterate do you have to be to see it this way? Maybe you're the one who hates white men if you are always going to be against them on reaction.
You don't see the issue with a deliberate decision to make it be 3 on 1, 2 holding her while the other guy decks her, then kicking her on the ground? It could have been an honest fight, 1:1, where she gets her ass kicked but that would have A) made their precious woman of colour protagonist look weak and B) missed an opportunity to show what buttholes white men are. You cannot be talking to me about media literacy if you can't see the reasoning behind them making the scene that way.
it's perfectly in character for a person who hates her and just got assaulted by her to want to beat her up, what kind of noble power fantasy are you expecting here from some random scumbag
>it's perfectly in character for a person who hates her and just got assaulted by her to want to beat her up,
Oh sure. But it's not necessary for there to be three of them, it's not nmecessary for them to hold her back while the other guy goes to town. These are choices made for the sole purpose of mitigating her shittiness, by making her opponents more shitty. Why do you think they did it that way if not that?
Three people beating someone bloody is LESS brutal than one person beating someone to the same level of bloodiness.
HOW? By distributing the violence evenly across three people, so each one is only responsible for a third? You are insane.
Literally yes. One dude straddling her and pulverizing her face looks like a complete psycho. Three dudes kicking her on the ground just look like hot blooded street thugs. It's the same reason why serial killers get more news than gang violence.
If it was the goal of the writers to make that white male look bad, the scene would have unfolded entirely differently.
>the scene would have unfolded entirely differently.
How could they have made them look worse? Beating her head in with a pipe?
not him but they could've been the one to randomly assault a person, for one
>Beating her head in with a pipe?
You say this like it would be the most scandalizing thing you've ever seen in a TV show.
>a deliberate decision to make it be 3 on 1
The writers cast the scenario this way to accentuate that Navarro was making a stupid, impulsive decision. But your moron brain can't comprehend that Navarro and Danvers are clearly flawed, if not bad people.
Why does there need to be 3 of them to show that? Attacking the one guy would show it just as well. You only need 3 guys if you want to have a shot of two guys holding a woman while a third punches her in the face.
I don't think I will even torrent this.
Is this a new anti-piracy measure from Hollywood? Make shows and movies that are so shitty that people stop stealing them?
It's working.
Cope. Numbers are higher than ever.
are they?
Elfbros, we WON.
All these people watching Elf on Christmas like it's a tradition and I've never seen it.
Me neither. I can't sanction Will Ferrell's buffoonery.
My family watches it every Christmas. Its kino. I’m not always a fan of Will Ferrell’s dumbass schtick but it works perfectly for this character
We'll never get another season of TD after this monstrosity, and that's a good thing
i mean it was already done after S3 and should've been shelved until pizza comes up with a great idea again. maybe some other wlel known crime writer could take a shot, but not some middle-aged hag whose only laurels so far are mexican telenovelas and generic horror flicks with a rating of ~5 on imdb
Supposedly Pizza and Mcconaughey were working on an adaptation of a book but it got dropped. Not sure how I feel about seeing Mcconaughey again, it might feel too much like the same character and a Rust cinematic universe seems like the wrong direction.
What the frick is a dredge?
>the scariest thing a woman can think of is another woman with her mouth wide open screaming
why the frick is this trope used CONSTANTLY in shitty woman targeted shows
the ancient bacteria revived murder victim is just a cold looking woman who screams and bursts your eardrums and black cop can handle it because her family line has the ghost seeing gene and it didn't scare her to death like the scientists what a moronic plot
>oh boy, I sure am really sad that the unlikable, ugly, bluehaired snow-indian killer herself after we basically knew nothing about her character other than that she's le crazy
>It's definitely not gonna be excruciatingly boring spending half the episode on her and the reactions to her suicide
Why the frick did Jodie take this role
She's stated several times in interviews she gets to be picky and it's incredibly rare to find good roles worth doing, and she's done mostly solid stuff up until this
Did her brain rot or something
I'm guessing lots and lots of money
his smile and optimism
where are they now?
they're dead
they're gone
I thought for a second they weren't going to do the obvious thing, they were going to let him have his russian mail order bride and be happy to subvert this hackey trope. But it's not that kind of show.
>man being happy in this show
Not happening. Young Prior will die.
I think Prior will live but he'll either quit being a cop or he'll stay a cop but they'll frame it as a bad thing, like he's just resigned to it and destined to grow up as broken as Danvers
>tfw Jodie Foster will never call you good boy
27 minutes in and nothing happened yet, it's all meandering telenovela bullshit.
lmao, while i was watching i thought the same thing
4 episodes in*
Why are these ice asiatics so fricking repulsive holy shit
I cant watch this shit because I feel disgusted every time they show up on the screen
Like the 3 times it happened in 4 episodes?
It's a white people show. Except for Navarro, but she's so out of touch that her white bf knows more about and is more connected with the natives than she is. She's basically a white (as in culture) pretending to be a native, even though she knows nothing about what it means, and the show makes that very, very clear.
Even Danvers step daughter is basically white and is just learning about the culture. Not that the show tells us what she i actually learning because the show sucks so much it's like it was written by someone who did no research at all.
>Even Danvers step daughter is basically white
She is fricking not
Culturally. There is NO native culture/lore in the show. It's all white shit. Well, I guess we got the birthing house. That 1 thing. But what did we hear about it except that it was the last? Nothing.
What did we learn about the chin tats and why the step daughter wants them? NOTHING.
Because that would require research and devoting time to explain shit.
That show is even worst than exploitation movies/shows since they at least provided a few explanations when using natives. It's a fricking virtue signaling show with no depth at all. Calling it surface level is giving it too much depth. It uses natives and native motifs like I use cheap prostitutes.
>It uses natives and native motifs like I use cheap prostitutes.
It busts prematurely, starts crying and apologises while scurrying out the door?
weird metaphor
I meant that it uses them to pretend like they like them. Like I pretend to like sex. I don't. I hate sex, the human body and people in general.
I don't think she'd agree with you if you called her white.
Yet the show points out that she is completely out of her native culture. Skin color doesn't mean much. Compare Navarro with what's her name lesbian daughter. Navarro whines but doesn't do anything to correct her lack of native culture knowledge. She even ask her white bf to do native things for her. She talks big, that's all. The lesbian daughter tries to get to know her own culture. She knows it must be her learning and that it's not just in her blood or some bullshit. It takes effort and sacrifices.
It's obviously a big theme of the show, but it's so badly done that it basically amounts to nothing so far.
The show could have been so good in the right hands.
I'm talking about the showrunner, the person creating this alleged "white shit." Also
>white bf
No.
Yes. The show spell it out that he's a white guy, not a metis or native.
>not a ... native
Well he is.
Maybe irl, but not the character. The character was said to be white in the show itself by Navarro. More than once.
homies sister, jodies daughter, random fricking asiatics every 5 minutes, the list goes on they are ugly as hell
I can't wait till all these upjumped conniving secretaries start raping en masse using their status and power and they themselves get cancelled, returning tv and movie productions to order, at the hands of gross fat israelites with insatiable sex drives that requires kino come into being to prop up their prostitutes.
As I was typing this the coca cola polar bear waved at jodie foster and the navarro woman spergs out, picks a fight with men and gets pummeled instantly. What the frick am I doing to myself watching this tripe.
This La rosa de Guadalupe episode guest starring true detectives is getting weird
That's it, I think I'm gonna go back and re-start Season 2.
the TRUE detective finding the clue that solves the case of the night country
>We ALL IN NIGHT COUNTRY NOW.
"Go any coke?"
"Frick up, cocaine bear!"
"You can ride me for a gram."
"... okay, but it's the last time CB. We can't keep doing this."
Young Prior is the True Detective. He's also the ONLY detective. But we never get to see him actually detecting stuff. It,s all behind the scene.
We can all agree that the 'writer' just put a bunch of movie sin chat GPT and submitted the script, right?
The Donny Darko one-eye bear/rabbit did take me by surprise. i didn't see that coming as a movie she would have added to her prompts.
Nah, she's just a Mexican telenovela writer trying pants that are too big for her.
It's an amalgamation of several other shows that take place in the same setting.
Names of shows? I love the setting. Not that they did anything with it in NC except for in episode 4 a little. I found some of the shots better than in the first 3 episodes.
Or maybe I should just rewatch Northern Exposure. That was a comfy show.
The Head and Fortitude are the main two. The Head is about these people at an arctic research facility who get killed and when their replacement shift comes in they have to figure out who did it. It's not good but because of the setting I tolerated it until the big reveal. I can't remember much of Fortitude there was a mastodon that thawed out and then some sort of wasps with an ancient disease and there was also some murder and an architect guy with a fat gf. I was on a bender when I watched that so I don't remember much.
This is what zoomers think deep is. A reference to something else. So what? It's not enough. Yes, you referenced something, but what are you doing with that reference? That's the real question. Most of the times in modern movies and tv shows, the answer is nothing. We're expected to clap like seals and praise the writers like they were Dagon giving our starving village a bounty of fishes.
>you best start believin' in Night Countries, Detective Danvers....... you're in one
nothing to see here, just some genuine user reviews and yes they only reviewed this masterpiece and nothing else is on their watchlist
The absolute state of William G.
Also i missed whenever they mentioned that the research station was set up by the Tutle family
I have been just watching this at like 25% attention so its my fault, can anybody tell me when they said it
they say it 3 times per episode, moron. maybe you should stop gooning to whatever is playing on your other monitor and pay attention
He's gooning to the right material.
well then i missed it every single time they did
can you please tell me when they did
ty
They only said it once. He's just a jerky jerk who jerks.
when
please
im not even memeing here
>Late in episode 2, junior detective Peter Prior (Finn Bennett) shares his findings about the financial backing of the Tsalal research station with his boss Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster).
>“The NGO that funds the station, if you follow the taxes you can trace it back to a shell company called NC Global Strategies, which in turn belongs to Tuttle United,” Prior says.
>“Tuttle United – what do they do?” Danvers asks.
>“Oh everything. Glass, tech, video games, shipments, palm oil, cruise lines … “
thank you
Episode 1. Near the end/finale 15 minutes if I recall.
Sorry. Episode 2, not 1.
this, it's only mentioned once
The ending is... okay?
Could have been a good show if the ending could have been predicted while watching the show.
The girl missing 2 fingers (Blair, like the guy in The Thing and like the Witch) killed the scientists by 'witchcraft' aka toxin from a poisonous fish. They died paralyzed and their body froze with that expression of pain/anguish they had when the paralysis finally took hold.
They killed Annie because she found fossils that would have meant to end of the research station's ability to dug for core samples at that place. The mine is not to blame and the black water isn't toxic, just gross and not their fault anyway.
The druggie who had the same symptoms as the scientists was Blair's ex-boyfriend who raped her after they broke up. Clark doesn't know this. Blair doesn't want to hurt Clark, he was good to Annie, but he's crazy and doesn't know that so end up killing her in the end.
Pete dies. His dad stops drinking to honor his memory and be a good grandad to his grandson. His drunk frick friend from episode one is the catfish. She give shim back him money and says she did it because she loves him and wanted more than just the occasional hook-up. Maybe they'll get together at some point, but now both are dealing with their trying to quit drinking.
Danvers dies in Navarro's harms after saving her life when Clark goes apeshit trigger happy at the station.
Supernatural is left unresolved. The bear is never explained. No bacteria thing. The guy who left before Annie's murder and why he fled is never brought up again or explained.
The quote from 1 used in the finale of S4 that made that critic shout at his screen is this:
This place is like somebody's memory of a town, and the memory is fading. It's like there was never anything here but ice."
I believe it.
>it's le okay
>proceeds to describe why it's total shit and a rip off
so tired of dishonest troons
Are we pretending S1 was even the slightest bit original now?
Nice fricking whataboutism. God damn you homosexuals are tiring.
>you homosexuals are tiring
You choose to talk about TV shows that clearly upset you. Why blame other people?
So why were the scientists naked and their clothes folded? What's with the oranges?
Also, was the hillbilly season from the previous episode ever explained? Wtf was the point of that?
The fat blue-haired girl goes crazy, taking off her clothes in the street, and she does it again on the ice and neatly folds her clothes just like the scientists did. Shit in the water supply making people go crazy confirmed.
>hillbilly season from the previous episode
I have no idea what you mean.
Naked because Blair took their clothes off so their bodies would freeze together. Why? Not explained. Why did she fold the clothes? She's a maid. I wish I was making this up. It was 'second nature' for her to fold them. But Hank has a good line for that: "Crazy b***h did crazy things." So maybe she was unhinged and making a corpse ice sculpture and folding clothes of men she killed was normal to her idk
I mean, you see the sister folding he rclothes before killing herself, but they never tie the two things together.
The oranges... is a symbol of fertility. It ties with the high rate of babies dying. It's dream symbolism. The visions might or might not be real. I forgot to mentioned that the scientists used illegal ultrasound tools to drill the ice and that it, the reason the babies are dying and animals go crazy (there's a scene with the dogs in episode 5 that's pretty good). It also explains the blood in the ears. Blair took her victims to the fossil tunnels. At that proximity without protection their eardrums burst. Same as in the end of episode 4 for Navarro, except that hers didn't burst, they got damaged as she wasn't in the tunnels themselves. Clark started the forage up again for a reason that will never be explained. But him being crazy might be reason enough. So Clark was responsible for the dead baby in episode 3, but he's not aware/sane enough to figure it out. His insanity began after Annie's death. He found the body. He didn't suspect his colleagues for some reason. He didn't suspect the sonic drills of hurting the population either. He's kind of a dumbass for a scientist that was supposed to be in charge.
Shooting* they come barging into the hospital before Lund dies. If this is all true idk how you think its ok, sounds like absolute shit.
Where does the spiral fit into any of this?
How do you know all this? Has there been a leak or did you get a review copy and breaking embargo?
NTA but journos get review copies. or he might be full of shit who knows.
that erik kain guy from forbes said in his spoiler-free review the murder mystery is the most predictable and stupid plot you could possibly imagine, as well as all the supernatural aspects being just that - supernatural spooky jumpscares with no explanation at all.
Erik Kain is pretty reliable, seems like a normal guy, a rare thing with journos, I believe him.
Not only that, he specifically hinted at the audience guessing right when they called it a Wind River ripoff. Tbh it's more like Wind River and The Last Winter combined.
Sounds so stupid that it's probably true.
>but he's crazy
Why?
lost his oneitis and went mad
Love how gringos are shidding and farding in excitement about the virtue signalling possibilities that watching a show directed by a female minority, when the truth is that Issa was in most certainty born into the priviledged 1% in Mexico for her to have built a career in showbiz in the first place. Knowing how things work here, if she isn't a spoiled nepobabby I'll eat my shoe.
of watching a show*
swing and a miss
I would never post here usually but this thread and the one yesterday has utterly disgusted me.
Shame on all of you, using a tv program as a vehicle for your own racism and sexism.
If you don't like something then you should just move on to something you do like and leave others alone. For the good of humanity, hopefully that other thing you do like is playing in traffic!
it's just a really bad show, anon
you can't pretend it's racism and sexism when you really just want to use that as a shield against criticism
Are you really wishing the death of people on the internet? You are a psychopath and I have reported you to the proper authorities.
If people stayed silent about what they didn't like, Hitler would be running things and slavery would still be a thing.
? I haven't seen much racism or skepticism, even for Cinemaphile's standards. I'm sure most of us would have loved for this to be good, there's the nuts and bolts of a great idea here, the setting is perfect, but it's just not coming together proper good.
By the end of this show I am going to be racist againts ice injuns, I am sp fricking tired of this shit.
Say what you will about this show, it's at least gives us non-passing tall trans women a great role model in Navaro's character.
If she can be muscular, tall and intimidating while also being feminine and sexy, then so can we.
