Having the young kid cop say "welcome to Night Country, bitch" before blasting the ice demon with a pump action was NOT a direction I expected this season to take, but I'm strapped in and here for it :stare:

I think 5 episodes in was far too long to wait for things to happen. It was a good episode, though!

This is more or less how I felt about that Picard TV show, except it was two seasons of that

I interviewed a NK escapee who came to my school and made a thread. Then life got in the way and the translation had to be postponed. I did finish it in the end, but nobody is going to pay 10 bux to update my.avatar
I really wanted to like this but it just got worse and worse.

If you make a season of True Detective where no detective work happens, and you have the obvious villains on screen, plotting their next villainous deed then you might have hosed up. This feels like a cheap Brit cop show (and looks like it too when the colour grading fails to mask the cheapness of the interior shots).

The magic ingredient of s1 and 3 was the meditative journey the characters took towards acceptance of their own circumstances. Not spooky ghosts or dysfunction. The fact that they thought they could tell this story in 6 eps alone shows they had no grasp of the source material.

Aww man I hate British police procedurals. I mean, not as much as I hate season 4 of True Detective, but I just fail to vibe with them.

Actually there's been a lot of Detective work. Pete's just been magically doing it all, offscreen.

Yeah season three is already good and will seem even better compared to this shitbowl.

season four looks like it will be judged greater than season three, but less than season one

So the final judgement will probably be one > four > three > two

Sorry season two simps :smugdog:

S2 owns over this.

idk who thought a ex-fighter with CTE would be strong enough to carry a season, or how to make a murder mystery that takes no interest in the mystery, but that ending of ep5 is the worst.

Season three is better in some ways than season one, never understood the hate it gets. It’s extremely well done, especially in contrast to poo country.

I haven't seen S2, but 3 is waaaaay better than this one. I know some people thought the ending was underwhelming, but I enjoyed the season and it wasn't incredibly stupid like this one's been.
