Thread: True Detective: Night Country | Official Teaser | Max
I mean sure why not, although, let's be honest, the series has been tracking Downhill since season 1, and what the F with the cop with the facial piercings? That's the kind of shit that is going to get ripped out in a fight for sure.

The show will never, ever be as good as Season 1. Although I thought Season 2 was decent. I stopped watching Season 3 halfway through.
If this season is any good it's going to be because Jodie Foster carries it.

I think Season 2 gets a lot of unnecessary hate, but I think the big issue was the lack of a key director to shoot the entire project. One of the big issues ppl have is that characters shown early on weren't given enough attention. However, that had less to do with the script and more to do with the director opting for wide shots when people are talking versus doing close-ups which would have conveyed to the audience that these people are notable versus background characters.
Season 3 was well-acted, but the plot twist was obvious and it definitely meandered for sure.

It would have been cool if they'd kept Pizzolatto and Fukunaga together for the seasons following 1 since they seemed to really catch lightning in a bottle with that season and I'd have liked to see what they did next together. Obviously Fukunaga has gone on to direct a Bond film so things have worked out well for him. But it would have been good if they'd found one director to do a whole season for the following ones to give that consistency and work with the big picture like you say.
Just saw that Pizzolatto isn't going to be writing this season so it'll be interesting to see how that affects things.
Okay, I got around to watching season 4. It starts of fantastic.
But then it starts going into supernatural shit and tying in elements from season 1 which is so fucking bad.
Season 1 didn't have supernatural shit. It was all in Rust's mind and built on his grief. Drugs and Alcohol mixed with stress made him see shit.
So why is Navarro seeing shit? Dunno
Foster acting is fantastic, I don't mind the elements of woke here and there but the supernatural shit is just pissing me off at this point and its just there to fill in the gaps for what makes True Detective so good.
How did we find the bodies........ooo a dead guy point me to it.........how did I find the information the girl?.......oooo I heard dead people. Like wtf? Rust obsessive nature made him a good detective.
Danvers (Foster) is smart as hell and equally as obsessive but Navarro is just annoying and sucks at being a good detective. Everything just falls on her lap and the explanation as for why is just coincidental .

I liked how in the first season, it was open to interpretation how much of the supernatural stuff was real and how much was Rust hallucinating. The setting was so eerie but also grounded. But to me, what really made the show wasn't Rust, even though he was a great character. It was Marty.
Marty is a real guy. He's got obvious flaws and qualities. He's the character who grounds the whole show. Marty allows Rust to work as a character. Marty's struggles are relatable for the viewer, while Rust's are fairly over the top. Rust is this tortured, autistic nihilist. Marty is the guy who lets the viewer know this isn't some fantasy world where everyone is a weirdo when he checks Rust during his rants. Everybody loves Rust, but Marty is what made the show work.

Having never watched any True Detective I got mildly interested when I heard it ties to the original season which made me consider binging it. But based on what you're saying that's the worst possible way they could've tied the seasons together.
By episode 4 shit just gets stupid.
If I I had rank seasons
Season 1 , Season 3 and Season 2 and then season 4
They had sooooo much potential with this. Alaska is the perfect place for crimes and isolation etc. also they have tooooo many characters.
So where in season 1they focused on Rust and Marty.
Now they have Danvers, Navarro, Danvers daughter, Navarro sister, the young male cop, the young male cop dad.
And so on
So I finally got around to watching the finale.
I'm gonna spoil it. Why? Because fuck anyone who wants to watch this dog shit.
So essentially the entire season is going on about finding the killer(s) who killed an entire research team in Alaska
Their deaths tie into a murder of a native woman 6years earlier. How? Well from episode one, they set up this great mystery of why these guys decided to kill themselves by walking naked into the ice and feezing as a group.
Well it so happens that the case the Navarro couldn't figure out is tied to these guys death.
What happen was 6 years ago this woman who protested the facility that these guys were working at found out that the people who own the facility was polluting the place over some stupid fucking reason.
What's the reason you ask? Well the researchers found a micro organism that they claim could save the world and help cure people from diseases. But MANOFTWO? how did they get to this organism well….they told their bosses who owns the mine and who are linked to the Tuttles from SEASON 1 to increase the mine pollution so that it would melt the permafrost.
Why not use a safer method? They're scientist after all…..I mean liberals love the environment ..right? Dunno so shut the fuck up and accept it.
So this native girl sneaks into the permafrost area and finds the hidden research area where the scientist found the microorganism. And she begins destroying the lab. She found this lab after reading the classified material her BF (who is part of the science group) left lying around which explained how the microorganism saves the world. Yep this bitch fucked humanity over her fefes
So the head researcher finds her and see she destroys the lab and takes a muthfucking starfish weapon and begins stabbing the shit out of her. Making all the other scientist doing the same and with her BF in the end choking her out because he didn't want her to suffer.
So forward 6 years later the cleaning ladies (yes you aren't retarded, you read that right) at the facility somehow figure out that the researchers were responsible for the native girl death 6 years ago and they made a plan to force these guys into snowy frozen area and kill them there. The cleaning ladies btw are also native.
How did they figure out the scientist were the killers well when cleaning they found the lab and the scientist had a star shape weapon that match the wounds on the dead native girl.
How were they so sure that these were the killers and this was the weapon? Dunno
so shut the fuck up and accept it.
Boy this season was sure worth the 93% in RT making it the best rated season compared to season 1….

I don't think it's woke but I just didn't like that ending and the build up to it.
The first three episodes are fantastic but after it's just downhill they should have kept it separate from season 1.
They should have added more stakes to the situation and they shouldn't have made the actual detecting not so convenient
For example why I think season 3 was so good was simply because in the end Wayne was a really good detective despite having alzheimer's. He found out what happened only to not realize it in the end
That not just a fucked up ending but it fits soo perfectly with True Detective imo.
Danvers is a great detective and from the first episode they showcase how good she is at attention to detail but Navarro is just horrible and doesn't fit in the whole thing. She just a side story and imo they focused on too many side stories than the actual case.
That's my complaint but to each to his own. Hope they do the next season a lot better but season 4 will always be my least fav for now.
I can agree with that. Navarro seemed a bit unnecessary. I think Prior and Danvers would've been just fine.
