Oh great. Another detective drama set in New York. We really haven't had enough of those.
True Detective seems to be at its best when its set in southern locales.
This is the only scene I remember from Season 2

Reminds me of Jaws, great opening act and then the sequels were a pedestrian facsimile. The author of True Detective, like Jaws, had one good story in him.
But the sharks in those movies didnt turn out to be part of a PETA movement to takedown the evil insurance CEOs causing the poisoning of the Atlantic Ocean or some malarky

‘True Detective’ Season 5
I don't watch woke shite on TV. I bailed on season 4 after 1 episode and I won't be watching season 5 since it will have the same showrunner

it was entertaining to watch as a trainwreck.
they imply that the scientists were studying something that could change the world, and were obviously murdered by a team of people and it is all good cause ghost & feminism

I enjoy the whole season, but I do think it loses a little bit of steam once they finish the 1995 timeline. For me, that's when season 1 is at it's best.

In real time it was a very dramatic turn and lack of answers. I remember before the switch saying that there wasn't enough time to answer all the questions and people were saying that I was just being negative and then a few weeks later, when very little was answered, everyone pretended that the primary focus of the show wasn't on the mystery and was "about the characters"
It was definitely a good show, but what originally made it top tier was completely ignored by the end and that's why people talk about why the ending was bad and why it took away from the legacy. It was kind of a bait and switch

I will give credit where credit is due. Season 4, like season one, did a really great job of making the setting its own character in the show. I’m kind of looking forward to seeing that in New York.

The Melvin’s and primus playing biker bar to raiding a Beaumont project track shot is everything I need a tv show
Show just peaked mid season

I'd rather rewatch Game 2 of 2023 CWS Finals

O I know
I don't think it was you but a lot of the people were disappointed/hate in the end because they were wanting and were convinced it was supernatural and it turned out it wasn't. Being mad that it wasn't supernatural is kind of a lame reason to think the ending was bad. The show was never going that way and would have been incredibly dumb if it did.

What’s kinda funny on rewatch is realizing that the Tuttle cult is actually a grounded presentation of a cult to the old gods (the Lovecraftian kind) and that Rust’s hallucinations may actually have a sort of double meaning in that context. So, it actually makes the ending a bit more satisfying when you realize it’s not necessarily just some redneck serial killers and there is a mythos behind who they are (which also makes season 4 so much more disappointing when you realize the potential of that frozen environment in relation to Lovecraft stories like In the Mouth of Madness and how it could have tied into the season 1 arc).

It wasn't that as much as it laid out crumbs for a larger story that was not only omnipresent in the atmosphere that hooked so many people, it was the driving force of discussion and interest each week after each episode. Trying to tie the mystery altogether was the vast (and I mean VAST) portion of the discussion.
When this was all but ignored at the end, people started doing the "it was about the characters" talking point, pretending like all those previous discussions didn't exist.
That's why someone called it "Lost 2.0". I can give a good example of an easter egg that basically was thrown out there and then...poof.

Season 4, episode 1 really did offer so much promise.

Such a let down.
“Here’s a whole bunch of magical realism in episode 1 plus the spiral symbol and the ghost of Rust’s dad”
“lol jk some scientists killed a local girl and her friends just killed them back and it was all pretty straightforward if not for beating the audience over the head with magical macguffins and misinterpretations on the part of characters also did you know it’s only this frozen shithole for like a small time and actually it’s this pleasant natural locale for most of the year but we didn’t tell you that up front because mood setting and forced theming”
