it’s so frustratingly bad and full of forced throwbacks and references to S1 for no reason

like someone else said, every time something cool or cliffhangery happens somehow they just move past it and never reference it again which just makes the paranormal parts of the show laughable

Can someone please remind me...did it end up having an actual supernatural twist?

Lol I almost made a thread about this fricking bullshite after watching 9 episodes of season 1 this weekend, specifically to talk about how uncreative and shitty this show runner was shoe-horning in stuff from season 1 in the most retarded way possible. The only thing that was more retarded than this was the (literal) clown car ending

To help your ranking of it go from a literal zero out of ten so merely a 1 out of 10, remember that this isn't a REAL true detective. It's a completely separate story all on its own that towards the end of the creative process someone said "hey, to get more viewers for this pile of shite...what if we slapped the TD label on it?" and everyone was like hey great idea!


And then HBO decided that in the app, all True Detective will be labeled as this season, for some unknown reason.

This may be the first show/movie on this board in which there has been universal agreement that its a steaming pile of dogshit.

Not even the trolls or alters come to defend it.

I actually enjoyed season 2. Might be the only person that does but it’s the second best season (doubling down). Season 3 had great acting but man it was slow and the whole story was meh.

I watched it.

I wanted it to be good because of the setting, which I though was cool.

I can't stand Jodie Foster and stupid accents, even though I had Silence of the Lambs on my hotel last night.

I thought I was gonna hate the tattooed chick a lot, but Jodie took all of my hate with her tough guy schtik. I'm pretty sure they gave her an Emmy for that shitty performance.

Once they tried to steal shite from S1 I was out and just finished it to finish it.

Did I see that Pizzolatto is doing a show for Netflix and is bringing in McConaughey to star?

If he sold the IP then I guess it won't be connected to True Detective S1.

Yep.

You could tell the show-runner writer was female before I even looked it up to confirm. The show had a clean feminist bent to it. The men at the lab were made to look like complete goofballs, made to strip, and run on the ice with their shriveled winers out by the female cleaning staff. The women got away with literal murder, well...just because.... AND the only sex scenes in the show were scenes NO ONE wanted to see.

We went from this iconic scene in Season 1



...to the Indian-cop pounding some nerd and stealing his Spongebob toothbursh, and Jodie Foster pretending to enjoy sex with another goober.

And that completely obviated the supernatural shite?

Episode 1 was solid

Then it went to shite quick

Then they tried to hook us with the Carcosa shite but it was a complete waste of time

I’ll never forgive them for wasting my time on that steaming pile of shite

Honestly, you wouldn't be missing a thing if you stopped watching right now.

1&3 are fantastic.

2&4 don’t exist.

^^ What he said.

I didn’t even finish S4, which is very unlike me. And it wasn’t for the reasons others have, it was just jumping the shark. S2 ended up going nowhere.

Everyone knows S1, but I thought S3 was pretty good also.
