Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
I didn't watch or pay any attention to the second or third seasons but I decided to watch this one when I heard jodie foster was in it, even though I seldom think that an actor's presence in something is enough to elevate it and even if I did I'm not really even a jodie foster fan. it just sounded cool to me that jodie foster is doing a season of true detective

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I'm looking forward to it. I enjoyed Seasons 1, 2 and 3. That gunfight in 2 was one of the best gunfights I've seen, it was like Heat level intensity, super good.

1 and 3 were good. 1 being amazing.

2 was not good. So many problems. Banger theme song.

4 might be good. But maybe not. New showrunner/writer.

Season 1 is in my top 3 series of all time.

Started watching 2 and dropped it because I couldn't get into it.

3 more or less escaped my notice at the time and I haven't bothered to watch it.

4 is getting buzz and it sounds like it's worth looking up.

I loved seasons 1 & 2, liked season 3, and tried twice to get into 4 and failed both times. I honestly thought it killed the series until I found out there was an ongoing fifth season a few weeks ago. And that fifth season? Pretty solid, right from the start :discourse:

Season 2 questions:

What's up with the gay cop? Did he actually affect the plot that much? Everything about him was just kind of dropped. Whose baby is that at the end? Is it Rachel McAdams's kid, like from Colin Farrel? Because that really diminishes the reveal of the paternity test. So it must be Vince Vaughan's kid, which would be a nice conclusion to his whole struggle to pass on genes, except that it really seems like it's supposed to be Rachel McAdams's kid. She's holding it, cradling it, wrapping it in a thing....

Lol, I got so Fargo-brained that I somehow completely misread the title, I wish that had been an intentional joke. Don't drink and watch TV shows while posting about other marginally-similar TV shows, kids :shepicide:

Also I did just learn there's a fourth season of True Detective, so that's something.

The baby is Vince Vaughn’s character. He’s been Benjamin-Buttoning himself throughout the show and turns into a baby at the end.

Woody Harrelson’s character walking out of the kid murder shack and blowing the creep’s brains out without a second thought is one of the best and most cathartic scenes ever caught on film imo.

I mean, you can really 'iceberg chart meme' season 2. it has:
-allusions to crying lot of 49/pynchon stuff
-golden dawn mid 20th century cult
-lots of egyptian motifs and story beats. season 1 is living men learning they aren't dead // season 2 is dead men learning they are dead, etc. lots of river styx too. the conceit here is that they are in the underworld and are slowly figuring it out through a neo noir lense.
-nick or whoever created it/wrote it said he wanted to include a lot more of the US postal service but it got cut
-he also said he intentionally wrote/cast against type something about the artifice of the world or something. some of the bad acting was explicitly directed to be as such too.
-epstein
-poisoned water as a running motif, communion, etc.

i, personally adore s2 and have watched it many times, and think it gets a bad rap because its so jarring from s1. s1 is amazing like th star wars ot was amazing, s2 is like the prequels and you are all boomers for not getting it man. : p

e: plus the music rules. father john misty, dark mountain and the goat lera lynn.

it's hamhanded as hell. there's nothing to get. the allusions you're talking about are weak imo. it was a mistake to bring on that author. the sub-narratives are BAD.

One of the characters in Season 2 felt like he was killed off because the writers realized they only had room for three character arcs in an 8 episode series

If season one didn't exist, two and three would be pretty well regarded, I assume four will be in the same ballpark. It's unlikely to be atrocious bullshit.
