The mom pretty much admitted she wrote the ransom letter, right? “Children should laugh” is what she told Amelia and it was also in the note

idk. Could just be repeating the note because she realized how shitty she'd been to her family.
I do think she is going to end up being involved in some capacity, though.

Soul of a whore sounds like something a priest would say. Could be a red herring though, like the one eyed black guy and the Indian.
The chicken plant and the church are involved somehow imo

I didn't hate S2 as much as some of yall did apparently, but obviously S1 is the GOAT. I'm really liking this season so far and don't mind the slow burn.
Things got intense when Roland and Hays went into the trailer park. At first the one-eyed guy was caught off guard but then began to instigate the onlookers. Thought that was going to go much worse than it did.
I will end up having to go back and re-watch because I've missed a lot of what you all have noticed. Also, so many good quotes in this episode
"I ain't the only one-eyed ****** in this town!"
"Dick holster"
"This peckerwood wants to shoot somebody"
And the line about the clip on the badge had me rolling. Nice that they mix in some humor.
I would not have put together the documentary maker and Hays' son (although unconfirmed right?). I know elder Hays noticed the two glasses and she brushed off his comment.. but I don't know that it's the son.
I'm not sure if it's just me or what but I absolutely hate Amelia already. I dislike her about as much as I hated the mom in Sharp Objects.
ETA: Oh and Roland telling Hays "Prison rape seems to be a big thing with you. Something you wanna tell me?" Something about Hays telling the kid to train his a-hole to be an entrance or something

The character development this season is excellent. There's a compelling mystery, with lots of detail, and lots of "reality" around the crime.
The victims of the crimes in S1 were more or less just placeholders. We didn't know nearly as much about them.
The conclusion of this will be really intense, because we will be so invested in these characters and their lives by then.
The "action" has been mostly missing up to this point, I agree. That has been replaced by really excellent character and story so far.

Having 90% of this show being filmed within 20 minutes of my front door is good and bad.
It is cool once in a while to catch a glimpse of familiar turf, but at the same time I notice when they take liberties with locations. They frequently show a set being in a town/countryside that is not adjacent to another location, but in the story it is shown as being within walking distance. Throws me way off, and to some extent I can't get past it.
There has never been a "black town" across the tracks in West Fork (Finger). Hell, the ONLY town in the area with any black population at all in 1980 would have been Fayetteville. I guess there's some degree of reality there, as there was a historic tiny "holler" in Fayetteville which was and still is majority black, had an AME church, although it's literally two streets, and is mostly gone now.

Hell, are there even Catholic Churches in rural Arkansas? And to top that, black Catholics?
It doesn’t matter at all, but a Protestant Church is much more believable

I'm still not convinced he isn't involved. He was certainly quick to rile up the neighbors when cops showed up at his door.

another West Finger resident
I was hoping for some landmarks actually in West Fork. Haven't really seen any so far. still cool that where i'm from is the setting though. The Purcell's house is in S. Fayetteville not too far from the "holler" that you're talking about. Or where it used to be anyway

Hometown had about 6000 when I was growing up and we did plus a catholic school. There’s not too many k-12 schools around anymore. And there were a few black folks that came to our church not a ton.
Regarding the show: that scene in the car with Tom and Roland was one of the most touching scenes I’ve seen in a long time. I think Scoot McNairy is a pretty phenomenal actor. And Mahershala is fantastic too of course and as several of you mentioned, his portrayal of the 70 year old version is

Something sketch about Roland. He is a free mason. Never trust a free mason.

There will be a black guy with one eye involved. Just not the one you've seen already. Junius is listed as a character to appear in ep8 and he's being played by a veteran character actor. I believe he will be a character driving the hoyt lady around and involved in the abduction/transaction.

Just watched the first four episodes.
May I just say, this show is fricking outstanding.

There have always been Italian Catholics in NWA, in Tontitown. Lots of good spaghetti and a grape festival, too.
That church they show is an actual Catholic church, I think.
There have always been German Catholics in North Arkansas, particularly around the towns of Ozark and Paris. Subiaco Academy near Paris is sort of a little monastery in itself, with a Catholic boarding school. We aren't nearly as Catholic as Louisiana, but we have local Italian and German Catholic populations. And the past 20 years, hispanic Catholics.
I grew up in a rural Arkansas town in the 90s and we had a Catholic church (in a town of 3,000) and we also had a Buddhist temple, because of the Vietnamese and Laotian refugees who were processed thru Fort Chaffee down at Fort Smith in the 70s.

This was something that I actually noticed big time with season1. I only moved to LA when I went to college, but the nine years that I spent there, I had lived in BR, Nola, and Lake Charles/plant life in Sulphur. So when S01 came out I was actually pretty familiar geographically with all of south LA. They definitely took liberties with locales, but at the same time there was some cohesion with the locations mentioned. It was pretty strange seeing so many filming spots around Nola/MS River like some of the plants and the Fox & Hound but then being likely portrayed as SWLA
I was surprised as well to find out there are Catholics in AR, I always figured the state was the same as north Louisiana/all of MS, mostly Baptists. Stephen Dorff already has some heavy hitter quotes. Roland actually comes off as a not-very-religious Baptist to me. Could enjoy some beers with the likes of him and Hart.

It is. But we do have Catholics, and small town Catholic churches exist in Northwest Arkansas, for sure.
