Kind of gimmicky with all night (done in 30 Days of Night and the opposite in Insomnia) and those two detectives had no chemistry but they did have the right sex and ethnicity. Pass.

With all of the arguing, it looks more like 'In the Heat of the Night' than 'True Detective'.



Too bad Travolta isn't in it to ask, "Is she the one with the shite in her face?"

We have all done things for love that we regret but shooting a President to impress Jody Foster has got to be extremely embarrassing and probably not worth it in retrospect

Love the setting. Don't love the main characters.


Yeah, not sure how I feel about this, aside from the cool setting.

Also, did they find bodies or did people just disappear? I can’t even tell what the premise is.

Let's be honest, you weren't going to like her character anyway.

This board

Yes because you can definitely tell they have no chemistry in the 10 seconds of time they had together in the trailer.

I'm gonna look at this like Perry Mason, meaning if it's well made, well written, and the actors can emote properly...I will grit my teeth through the impending wokeness. And Perry Mason, it's pretty mild. I don't think it's going to be mild here.

I'm thinking this is going to borrow heavily from the Dyatlov Pass incident, spooky death but ending with an Occam's razor explanation.

I recnetly rewatched S1 and I don't think the ending was near as bad as I felt it was in real time.


I just wanted more Yellow King content. They teased us with it in Ep 5 I believe and then it just stopped. As I remember it anyway…

Blatant callback to season 1 with the spiral which I don't think I like. You make the show either a connection between the two which I'm assuming will be very convoluted or it was a cheap trick to get hard core fans into it. Either way it'll probably end up being stupid. This is like the third or fourth show that will have used the spiral as well, it's becoming the mystery plotline batsignal.

Most actors get better with a little age. Jodie Foster seems to be doing the opposite.


She's freaking 60 and is supposed to be playing an older female cop in Alaska. They weren't exactly trying to make her look hot?

This is difficult for me. I don’t mind a female lead detective, especially if it’s Jodie Foster, but the others, meh. Is the cheek ring broad a boxer?

She may have been. She wrote and was the star of a movie where she plays an ex-boxer. It received award nominations.

Catch the Fair One (2021) IMDb

With her wrapped up in a parka, at first glance, I thought it was Queen Latifah. She's a big, tall woman.
