re: True Detective S4 Season Long Thread

This season absolutely sucks. Not sure it can recover from that episode. This is a third rate Sci-fi channel show

I'll finish it, but this is just very meh It just cannot decide what it wants to be and is a very big mess. It needs more focus and fewer characters and a deeper plot, because from all the unresolved issues they don't really have a lot of time and I imagine there's going to be some rug pulling in a lot of it's going to be unsolved or unexplained. I started rewatching season 1 recently and the investigation is slow but you can see what they actually have to do being detectives trying to solve it and the reason it slows because they have to get evidence. This show is moving slow by creating artificial barriers and other random plot lines to distract the focus and create more screen time for content other than the investigation.

Yes, all of this

Coherence is something Issa could use in abundance

How many unexplained, unnatural occurrences do we have to witness that are not addressed when we’re already halfway through the show and have no direction?

I’ll likely watch the remaining episodes, but there’s no urgency. LOL

Not sure about anything, but a Rust appearance might be the only thing that could save it, and even then, probably not

The spiral symbol is perfect for this season. The show is circling the drain

Watched late last night... Had concerns they would go full on supernatural/paranormal and well, they did.


I'll prob watch the trainwreck to see how bad it gets, but S1 remains king and I'm disappointed they tied it into this season.

What a fricking waste.

Stop melting

It was not a good sign in Ep1 that the new writer was trying to shoe horn this into S1 and ride its coattails.

The first few episodes of TDS1 were basically a straight procedural, everything unfolded out of their actual investigation.

this season is meh because of the season, not the tie-ins that make it look worse (and certainly not for being "woke", which it really isn't).

Agree… they could have this same plot and take out the paranormal angle

I agree. It as nothing to do with being “woke”. It’s just too much going on.

Ask the question.

Why is this season weak?

My answer…it can’t figure out what it wants to be. It’s trying to be a lot of things and sucks at all of them.

At first Navarro was getting on my nerves and I didn’t care for her much. But her and Danvers don’t really bother me much anymore except for the ridiculous and unexplained behavior she has with her stepdaughter, or whatever she is.
