A little, yeah once it became just a chill session while the guy they've been hunting was tied up. Show felt sabotaged by being put under the True Detective banner. Nailed the final reveal imo, which makes up for a lot of the shows sins. That said, the convenient recording of scientist guy confessing about the pollution and weird "Narvarro is a spirit now" felt pretty contrived. As were the inclusions of the True Detective spiral, which is clearly and annoyingly just tacked on. I appreciate that the inclusions weren't as heavy handed as Woody Harrelson showing up, but having the guy do the "Time is a Flat Circle" bit didn't feel very natural. I guess they were going for that stuff just being a small religion/philosophy of the True Detective world, but we didn't get enough of Clark to make that not feel pointless. Noticeably meh action scenes. Every tense set piece (them chasing guy in a frozen boat, chasing guy in ice caves) all just got undercut after only a minute of tenseness followed by a lot of sitting around.

So that smiling sandwich tutorial guy who was so merry and carefree was an accessory to murder and all those boring-rear end dudes doing laundry etcetera were living out a vow of silence about killing someone with their bare hands? Or are we to infer that only some of the scientists from that time are still there in episode one and there were a bunch of new people who didn’t know about the murder?

That was some of the Truest Detectiving I've ever seen. Everyone should be aware of the dangers of a scientist stab rush, it's very common when you damage their stupid science toys. Night Country Season Two, when?

No see scientists like pollutants, it makes their science go faster so they can drill baby, drill. Faster. And the main thing they were worried about was keeping their jerbs, which only worked if they kept approving the environmental impact studies they wrote for their employer, the mine.

When an I-5 Snownado strikes at most it leaves a half inch of snow though it knocks down power and severs fiber optic connections. The people who deal with snow just go out at zero dark thirty on New Year's Eve to clear it up just as fast as it's coming down. If you're stuck at a remote research station, absolutely don't get into one of the Suburbans or Excursions in the parking lot and start the engine to keep warm, that won't work, the Snownado has cut power to those as well. Just start a hobo fire in a garage, this is the smart move.

People have been theorizing it was the fingers lady/the cleaners since the first episode. They just didn’t expect it to be done this stupidly. I actually thought the first 20 minutes were maybe the best the show has been all season. Shame about the rest. Shallow politics, shallow virtue signaling (a term I loving hate, but this, this is virtue signaling), shallow writing, shallow callbacks, shallow ending.

They mentioned in like episode 2 that nobody ever rotated out and all those guys have been there for years so yeah, they're all just ruthless who were totally okay with murdering a lady and never talking about it.

And they really liked that hosed up DVD of Fenris Buhler's day off where it looped the parade scene, they'd leave that on for hours as background noise to their science making.

I only caught up last night and haven’t been following the thread or any episode recaps- I had a really tough time following the shows logic when it came to the actual investigation- what led to this witness, what led them from there to this conclusion, and so on. Was the show unusually bad at this; or was I just not paying enough attention? I’m open to it being the latter

This would have been totally fine as like a Netflix show that you can binge all at once without thinking too hard about it. Being on hbo, called true detective, week by week did it a disservice.

I laughed so hard at them trying to shoehorn "time is a flat circle" into this when it's just the dude being cracked out of his mind. I laughed at the Twist and Shout cover as Danvers is crying. Another horrible pin drop. I laughed at Pete's wife doing the "I'm so mad at you, make out with me" trope. I laughed at the idea that they needed to put pollution into the water to make the permafrost melt at just the right temperature to get their miracle bacteria. I laughed at the idea that these nerds would all decide at once to kill someone but maybe that's just me being too naïve about the... murderous tendencies of scientists? I laughed at the old lady telling Pete "you think this is over but actually the worst is the rest of your life" followed by patting him on the back. Real comforting lady. Thanks. I laughed at the idea that the city has a network of women who all spied on their employers and decided to enact their own justice because gently caress the cops. I laughed when the lady basically said she forced a bunch of naked men to run into sub-zero temperatures "but if nature wanted them to live, they could just come back and get their clothes!" I don't know how much closer to "it wasn't me who killed them, it was the bullet!" you can get. "If you go out there, make sure to come back." Literally asking her that when she kills herself, come back to haunt me. Pfft! "I don't think anyone will find Navarro out there on the ice." Yeah because she's under it. Hah! Other things: - Navarro shot Wheeler. OK. Did it matter? Nope! - In the moment, it didn't make sense that this guy saying he loved Annie, who was physically recoiling at hearing her death rattle, would be the perfect target for torture. After the fact, it made more sense, but nothing about what he said prior to spilling the beans made it seem like it should've worked on him. If anything, I feel like it would've shut him up more. This is just a nitpick though. - There's a moment where Danvers is walking away from the campfire Navarro is sitting at in a wide shot and the fire suddenly begins animating backwards then forwards again. Weird rear end editing that threw me off because the rest of the frame is moving at normal speed. So weird. - When Navarro is walking through the blizzard to see her... I dunno... sister? Mother? Whoever. The day-for-night and/or blue-screening because they couldn't record her in a blizzard was really awful editing. - It sure seems odd that they tried to make a connection between the power going out in both the Tsalal recording and Annie's death recording when it ended up meaning nothing at all. - The obviousness in trying to parallel the end of Season 1 with Rust crying in the hospital room against Danvers trying to come to terms with the death of her son was so ineffective it made me bored. - I wanted to suggest that the tongue was planted by Hank because he was secretly trying to get everything exposed, which would've been an amazing(ly stupid) twist I actually would've liked. Unfortunately I went back to episode 1 to check and the delivery guy found it before the cops ever went out. - In the end, spooky stuff is real, but only a little bit of the spooky stuff. Eh... whatever. I'm so glad this was only 6 episodes.
