DeadFatDuckFat posted:All the crap with the cop sister and cop daughter better go somewhere/tie in to anything because its pretty awful and a waste of screen time each week if they end up not mattering at all. There was a point in the second episode of Mare of Easttown where I realized that it wasn’t a mystery crime drama but a drama involving a mystery. This one still feels like a crime drama halfway through and I also don’t know how to take the family stuff. I will say that the scenes of the daughter going out with her girlfriend make me really reflect on how lovely dating must be in that town. Go walk around the supermarket? Great! Where else is there? Uh, the protest planning session in a big dirty garage where people break down crying about how their families are dying?

I'm probably going to keep watching to the end at this point, but considering that we're half way through, unless some crazy poo poo starts happening or the writing massively improves, I have trouble imagining it ending as anything more than average at this point (hopefully I'm wrong)

I would feel a lot more satisfied with the show if just one of the mysteries had been solved by now, halfway through. Or at least progress made. Instead we've got a bunch of stuff that presumably will get some kind of resolution near the end. This is something S1 does exceptionally well, there's a huge climax with a (false) resolution to the murder mystery at the end of the 5th episode and a really tense build up to it in the 4th. The audience is left feeling like the detectives did their job and solved the case, even if we also feel something isn't quite right. Maybe we'll get some kind of climax in episode 4, I hope so, the wheel spinning is frustrating.

Two of the mysteries have been solved. We know the one lady died in an ice cave, terrified, by what sounds like some eldritch monster poo poo. We also learned what your mother sucks in hell

Next episode we should see the mid season shootout which I'm guessing will be possessed polar bears attacking the mining company blasting ice breath and throwing oranges at the miners which turn them into screaming hell zombs. Rust Cohle shows up and announces he's a Brujo, and has to escort Navarro and Captain Danvers across the battlefield to the center of it to cast his spell in a technological marvel of an 8 minute single take. Marnie shows up at the last minute to disrupt the lines of his magic circle which are made of meth.

I think the problem with this season is that everyone's just a mean, nasty rear end in a top hat for no good reason. Peter is like the only person who isn't a complete douchebag to other characters. His girlfriend calls him stupid and demeans him. Danvers is just a mean boss. Navarro kinda sexual assaulted a guy in episode 1 and then showed up on his doorstep when he told her not to... and she's a lead character we're supposed to cheer for. Hank is just a seedy creep. Every town member is either stupid, incompetent, or mean. I don't know who we're supposed to cheer for.

The two leads being assholes is applicable here because S1 is defined more by McConaughey and Harrelson than the story, I think. They had complex characters that weren't exactly nice or good people but were somewhat understandable and relatable. I don't even think it's Foster or Reis at fault. The writing itself seems thin across the board. Nothing seems particularly fleshed out, from the other townsfolk to the town itself. So far the most development has been with the indigenous people, which is fine, but there's a bunch of other threads just hanging. Doltos fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Jan 31, 2024 |

You are asking me to find someone in true detective season four with similar level of appeal, "a character that draws you in" like a character in deadwood. You arent going to find any because the writing is not a good as deadwood was. You said it yourself. Seems kinda pointless. The golden age of tv was 20 years ago Season one was a decade ago I am enjoying the "There are too many assholes in MY True Detective" takes though.

The scene where Hays says he’s going to cry if his wife keeps fighting with him is really good. He’s got a ton of sweet moments in s3 come to think of it. Except the times when he’s threatening people with prison rape.

I don't mind all the main characters being butts. S1 had Rust tell a woman to kill herself, among other things. It was way stronger, but the core of the show is that you have grizzled detectives who won't let a case go and how they eventually and at cost solve it. Taking inspiration from Sherlock Holmes, the only thing that matters is that the case gets solved. Them being assholes feeds into that - they may be awful and a mess, but dammit, they're going to find absolution through the good deed of figuring this poo poo out.

Or, hear me out, take the petit bourgeoise Englishman and have him try to solve the cult killings in Louisiana. He can re-spawn every time he gets his throat slit by a biker on meth, or shot and buried in the fields by a farmer he accidentally trespasses on. Like the movie(s) where death brings up back to the lack major bit of progress you made in life.
