Suspekt Device posted:John Hawkes is really looking like poo poo in the first episode. Is that a character choice or is he like, on the verge of death IRL? Guessing that's the junior male apf's dad? Not familiar with him but he does look pretty rough.

All the haters go watch like 5 minutes of whatever the latest cop/fire procedural is on CBS or something and you’ll begging to watch the first episode of True Detective Season 4. Anyway I’m about halfway through Season 3 and it’s real good even as a palette swap of season 1.

Yes, the supernatural culty reference that was explicitly invented in-world to justify kiddie diddling in a small township in Louisiana is somehow also actually supernatural, and a worldwide phenomenon that has reached northern Alaska. gently caress you HBOO!!!!!

Basically the writers of S2 and S4 (haven't seen S3 so I can't say anything about it) learned the wrong lessons from S1. They thought that if they combine worn-out detectives with sexual dysfunction and grief mumbling about life while pursuing a series of occulty murders, it will = good show. But S1 balanced those things out with 1) humor and 2) humanity. Rust Cohle would pontificate about the pointlessness of life and being, and squint, and smoke cigarettes -- but he also had a really interesting way of speaking. He used big words, spoke intelligently and articulately. He was also Matthew McConaghey, with all the charisma and stage presence he brings. Also, when he would blurt out these monologues, Woody Harrelson would slowly turn and stare at him and be like "What the gently caress are you talkin' about? Stop SAYING that poo poo!!" Like Rachel McAdams and Kali Reis's characters, Marty Hart had a sexual dysfunction, but he was also charismatic and funny and had a whole life he was trying to keep together while also being a depraved sex addict. It felt real. McAdams and Reis were one-note grim determined cops, so it was boring. It just felt like actors delivering lines. Reis is also a bad actor because she's not an actor, she's a boxer.

Is Jodie’s character supposed to be from Minnesota, or is the Viking hoodie a like “she is a white invader” thing or are the Vikings just popular in Alaska.

Season one was about a religious cult with ties to the government that were a bunch of paedophiles and child murderers. Rust and Marty kill four members of this cult and expose it but they don't quite have enough evidence to bring down the members who are senators etc. The highest ranking member we see, a high level priest, dies off screen - either by suicide or murdered by other cult members - when Rust breaks into his house and finds hard evidence against him. Season three is the first time Rust and Marty are mentioned, as heroes for exposing the group, but there are some who believe that their theory of it going "all the way to the top" is made up bullshit and the cult was just a group of incestuous meth making hillbillies. The woman interviewing Hayes has drawn up a connection between the missing children of season three and the cult of season one. Something to do with spirals being used as a way that paedophiles secretly communicate with eachother. It turns out that the children in 3 were actually sold by their mother to a rich woman who had gone mad and lost her kids? It was a lame ending and anybody who says 3 is good should have to rewatch this dumb resolution every day for a year. So it turns out that while 1 and 3 share the same universe, their plots are not linked at all. Season four's connection to the cult is not yet known, but we have seen the spiral in the trailers which heavily implied "this time it's for real" so we'll have to wait and see.

Kosmo Gallion posted:It was a lame ending and anybody who says 3 is good should have to rewatch this dumb resolution every day for a year. Ahhh...that's because you think the show is about about missing kids and a couple of cops who are trying to find them. It is really about a man who is a loner his whole life and actively pushes away everyone who loves him and can help him. The ending is perfect because he finally accepts those people. It's wonderful!

I'm so glad that Billie Eilish is finally getting some mainstream exposure. Really brave choice on the part of genius auteur Issa Lopez. That would have been annoying and not even relevant if the theme song was good and came from like, I dunno, a native woman or something.

Giving it a chance but the characters are no way near as interesting so far as season 1. Jodie is really good at scowling in random directions but she's no McConaughey. She's not the best at monologue.

Yeah it’s not even like a deep cut or anything, that song’s been used probably a hundred times. It’s just lazy, like House of the Dragon re-using the original GoT theme.

Way worse. At least GoT fans could see that as paying homage to the main show. Throwing a random pop song onto TD4 intro just smells of “attract millennials at any cost’ desperation.

lol this season is so awful. This is spoiler poo poo but I'll be hosed to put it in tags. So the interpretive dance ghost is Rust's dad. The Tuttle clan is running the research station. Spirals! It's so loving lazy. Remember how good s1 was? Well we do too and so we're gonna stick as many references as possible.Also, every character is terrible except for the young cop and the Jason Momoa looking bartender I guess?

Did Jodie Foster just happen to walk in at the exact same moment the parade scene ran again on the Ferris Bueller dvd 2 days after the researchers disappeared? Or is that particular scene just on repeat on the dvd? Or were they only able to secure 15 seconds of the FBDO film rights and used it twice?
