I have no problem distancing it from the other seasons of TD. When I'm watching, the other seasons aren't even a blip on my radar. This might as well be some completely brand new show

I disagree, the producers attached the True Detective name to it therefor setting the expectation bar themselves. IF they go supernatural route, then that is just a slap in the face of True Detective and it deserves to be shite on. Makes me think the Issa show-runner woman blaming bros after just 1 episode is exactly the type of person that would to try to cash in on the name, knowing she can't hold a candle to True Detective, then cop out into supernatural territory and then blame viewers again for the comparisons.
I do agree that if it this was just simply "Night Country" that it would be judged slightly less harsh, but it's still not great TV thus far.

I think I'm in line with most in this thread. It's sufficiently interesting to keep me watching but it isn't anywhere near the greatness of S1 or even the very goodness of S3.

The unattractive women are off-putting. I don't wanna hear about realism of how people in a place like this would look. It's fiction. I wanna look at beautiful people on screen. The boxer covered in tats and looking like a pincushion is distracting.

I'm already preparing myself for the disappointing thud that all the supernatural shite is just toxins from the mine making everyone loopy and causing mass hallucinations.
