Mixed in with X files and Blair witch 😂

best reference of all time !!

This was literally what I said to my partner after the finale. The only thing missing is Evan Peters 🙄

This is too accurate 😂

Alaska is a state where sanctity of wildlife is very important, if a moose delays you going to work it's accepted by the state. You can call it in but chances are the response will be 'okay, has the bear moved off the road' and when it has you keep driving.

@@AnthonyPollard A Moose doesn't hunt/eat people tho

Pretty in character, considering these two done fuck all police work in 4 episodes.

@@funkybrassmonkey Moose kill more people in Alaska than bears do

I got the impression that they were paralyzed with fear.

because the scene isn't real. She is either hallucinating or displaying a mental disorder like her sister and mother

So cheesy! This is why people need to stop getting jobs based on their boxes being checked accordingly...this "director" is horrendous in every way. More concerned about spreading their politics, instead of actually taking the time to craft a great story. The lack of detective work, and the "ask the right questions" words of whit was cringe. People don't behave like this, nevermind during a murder investigation.

Yep. The number of people blithely wandering around by themselves, unarmed, in the dark in prime polart bear country shows the laziness &/or stupidity of the writers. Especially since one of the theories of what drove the scientists out onto the ice is that a bear wandered in because they can't lock doors for "safety reasons". The show is trash.

It's supposed to be region with polar bears, then i would keep dog near me at alltimes when walking in pitch black darkness. Instead you carry orange with you, right...

It’s clear that the director had zero retired police or similar individuals as consultants

I was going to drop it, but now I'm curious on how bad the ending is 😂😂

Yup, my laughter at episode 4 irked the others watching it with me.

I'm in Mystery Science 3000 mode after having high hopes

It's not that bad. Basically the girl boss version of Rust and Marty. But with so few episodes they're wasting time with 80% family drama and 20% mystery.

I thought the exact same thing. I burst out laughing several times when they tried to be really scary watching the show. It's a shame because the actual setting is incredible for the show.

Nail on the head lol

Yes - as if they fed the scripts for first 3 seasons + some story goalposts into chat gpt > and this is coming up… It started off so strong. Wanted to love the show - esp with its eerie expanse and vibe that scares even the elks! Maybe it’s time to just go back rewatch x-files - 🤔

Yeah basically the girl boss version of Rust and Marty but they were interesting characters that you could watch even without a murder mystery. Here they pad their 6 episodes with 80% family drama and 20% mystery. They could have written a rich complex mystery like the show Fortitude about frozen wooly mammoth accidently unearthed by a mining company which unleashes a pathogen that turns people violent with pharmaceutical companies after that pathogen for its regenerative abilities to cure cancer and disease complete with dirty town politics and flawed cops but that ran for 2 seasons. Here with only 6 episodes I wasn't expecting that but it wastes its precious run time with nothing but family drama fillers. After 4 episodes there's very little progression of the central mystery beyond finding frozen bodies that's now thawed and moved elsewhere and that's basically it with a few tidbits here and there. Started with a good concept but not enough meat to the bones for mystery fans to gnaw on. Hopefully they have a great ending.

I was going to get Max today. Now I definitely am because I want to see how bad it is.

I’ve stopped watching but my guess is this going to be a rip off of the xfiles episode where maulder gets a virus and has to be kept cold to survive.

No need for caracter developement when theyre obviously ”stunning and brave”🙄

Ha!

after watching the finale, you are 100% spot on here. I had so many ideas about what this could have been in the end, supernatural stuff, lovecraftian monsters or some kind of sci fi organism that takes over peoples minds, or any number of ideas that would have been interesting and profound. But the actual show was so SO boring in the end. i havent felt this let down by a show in such a long time. im so angry right now. The end of episode 2 had me on the edge of my seat, could not wait for more. and it was nothing but downhill from there.

HBO would.

@@ErikKain Fair point

I agree 100%. I am not enjoying this season at all. I’m just ready to rush to the end.

The execs saw wind river too so is it really spoiling anything

@@rhodimusrime6737 If only they had based it on The Snowman…then at least it would have been funny

consider yourself lucky, I watched all episodes and truly regret it.

The fact that it's probably it pisses me off so much, I still remember the shock from revelation of first season, about that one guy turning out to be a killer, cause they missed him the first time by sheer coincidence... and I didn't rewatched it, so I am missing details, but it for sure was more complicated than season's four mystery.

Somehow, I knew who it was from the first time they encountered him, but was made to doubt it 800 times bc excellent writing.

the only mystery of this show is the ratings to this show.

I got to episode 4 and realized this is probably going to be the exact same underlying cause as The Terror. Add to this a town full of characters that are unlikable and I'm done.

Contaminated water, that’s the last thing it is,

Was she like a great big fat person?

Makes me think of R. Scott Bakker's books.

Lol Frank made me think of that scene in hellraiser, which is fitting "Jesus wept"

Loser

Add a laugh track to some scenes and it becomes watchable. Navarro "You clean. You clean good!" 🙄😂

Nah. Fear the Walking Dead S7 n 8 take that title still. Night Country was a 6/10 compared to that 0/10 garbage. Nothing is more painful and stupid than FTWD.

Oh but trust me when I say this: You don't yet know just how bad it can get.

Welcome, thanks for the detailed comment. Great examples of strong female characters. And there are plenty who are strong but not "badass" also. A strong character doesn't have to be badass (and, well, vice versa)

Navarro is from my hometown she is a pro boxer she was the women's champion

You sat through this garbage TWICE???? Patience of a saint mynfriend 😅

HBO stole 8 hours of your time (and a bit of your spirit in the process).

I like how every person who enjoys this show brings up the setting and identity politics. They never say anything of substance as to why the show is good, just that it's good it was made.

@@RicardoDixhardo that's the state of the entertainment industry today. Story is secondary. According to them if I don't see myself represented I can't enjoy it. We see how well that is going. Woke = broke.

It's on my list!

Probably!

@@ErikKainhell yeah can’t wait to compare our opinions once I’ve seen this whole season.

Thanks. And yep, I've gotten a lot of that. Which is so infuriating because it assumes all women must love this show when I know many who do not. It's such a weird tribalism and ultimately several kinds of sexist.

It's the current year. If a writer doesn't get the green light for their terrible idea accusations of istaphobia will follow.

It's because it's woke.

Big star as an anchor, sometimes that's all it takes. Shows that have that feel "safer", and some execs prefer that - if it flops, they can always fall back on "how could we have known? It had Jodie Foster!"

It all stated with the intro music....I looked at my wife and was like, "what an awful intro song to a show that always had great music." Then the over the top caribou CGI scene. Still I tried to give it a chance... Then came the unlikable, and totally unbelievable main characters. There's nobody to root for. Then as usual, all the male characters are either abusive, weak, or incompetent, and most of the time it's all of the above. Then came the message. Relentless and in your face. The lazy writing and dialogue was terrible. The characters telling the audience what's what, instead of letting the show have its own magic. Sometimes you don't need to tell, you just need to show and let the viewers draw their own conclusions...it felt like a mother (the writers) spoonfeeding applesauce to a baby (the viewers). The "detectives" do no detective work at all. Did anybody find it ridiculous how Jodie Foster's daughter was able to just walk inside the ice rink where they were housing not only evidence, but the victims themselves? Reis's character was not convincing as a state trooper at all- with the cheek piercings and gangsta tattoos covering her neck, hands, etc- she would've been just a smidge more believable had she been an undercover, but no. Walking around with the same angry face 100% of the time. I watched the first 2 episodes to try and give it a chance, but that was it. The over the top messaging and themes that are plaguing our entertainment has sadly come to True Detective, although calling this True Detective is a sin. Instead of making the show that the audience wants to see, a show where we can escape the craziness that we are unable to in our daily lives, instead we are slammed with it. And as if I needed more of a reason to quit, the predictable spiteful way this director behaved toward avid fans of the series made we never watch again. Calling people w legit criticisms "bros" and "fanboys," and then proceeds to tell the blind worshippers to start a rotten tomatoes account to give it a perfect score and overwhealm the rightful complaints....because people with sense that refuse to just gobble up whatever is put in front if us and call it gourmet are just being hateful right. These people need to stop creating on screen what they want the country to become, and write a good story. Again, the messaging is clear as day and overbearing....and the director's response further confirms what we already knew. It's what they always do....go on the defensive and label us. And that's why I stopped watching after 2 episodes. Not supporting these people. RIP True Detective- this sadly is going to be it. It had every opportunity to revive the series but instead put the nail in the coffin.

Cancel HBO if you really want to send a message.

Could not agree more. Very much a show of our time. @@jamesriver3745

Remember Alf? He's back, in profile pic form.

I imagine it was talked about when it came out quite a bit

Well I didn't say worse than Rings of Power. I said this is to TD what RoP is to LotR.

Also I don't think Foster was good in this at all.

@@ErikKain Ah, gotcha. That’s my bad. I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised that Foster gave a poor performance in this if the show was as poorly executed. Still disappointing.

​@@ErikKainEven the comparison to RoP is a terrible place to be. I will never forgive RoP for playing on politics the way it did to market itself and left me in a position of agreeing with the most terrible online people and channels who were right in criticising that instance

⁠Your analogy to The Rings of Power is the most scathing indictment of the show that anyone could possibly muster

The Night Of was amazing and vastly superior to Criminal Justice (the BBC show it was a remake of).

Yes it was. It was written then adapted

Diversity hires can f up anything.

Appreciate it!

Yes I think I'll start it tonight haven't gotten to it yet.

Succession. The perfect example of a show where you hate them all but still care about what happens to them.

@@ErikKain The Bear has quite a bit of that too. Almost everybody is hostile which makes their warming up and taking care of each other exhilarating

To me Mindhunter. I hated the main character at first but eventually was OK with him

Season 3 is also worth watching.

I loved Season 3. And oh man, Severance is a damn masterpiece!

ok I will give it antry soon @@ErikKain

Season 3 is pretty good.
