I felt like the writing and directing were projecting the creator's feelings towards masculinity in shows like True Detective. However, season 1 has masculine characters with flawed and warped perceptions and is clearly showcasing these are not bad men, but they are not good either. They're human and dealing with some evil stuff. I also hate how Peter's wife is automatically annoyed with him working so much. In contrast, in season 1, Maggie is worried about Marty working all the time and the gruesomeness of the case. That's why when it's revealed he's cheating on her, I have the utmost sympathy for her and none for Marty, even when she cheats on him with Rust.

There still is now, but they often get overshadowed by garbage shows like this. Just make a normal show for pete sake.

Jodie Foster was also just badly miscast. There are many other things she's good in, but she always exudes trepidation and unease. That's why she was so good in Silence of the Lambs, surrounded as she was by psychos, perverts, and a cannibal; she ought to have been unnerved, and looked it. By contrast, she cannot pull off this swaggering, domineering boss, backslapping, quipping, stomping around drunkenly off the job hooking up with men who somehow cannot resist her but just want to know 'where all of this is going'...one cannot quite suspend disbelief.

I think the most frustrating thing about this season is that the horror in it is actually really good, especially in the first few episodes. It was such a waste to throw away all the supernatural elements and just have the reveal be a rogue group of aunties slaughtering the scientists. And the way they wrote the scientists as these inhuman murderers at the end was clearly motivated by misandry, as all the villains of the show turned out to be men (except the one good guy who was meek and submissive and always did as he was told), and all the women of the story were either innocent victims or vengeful heroes. It was a show that tried to be a commentary on way too many hot-button social issues, and none of them were integrated well. It tried to be a story about svicide, about race relations, about indigenous land rights, about environmentalism, about sexism, about depression, yadda yadda yadda. Pick a lane and stick to it! This was actually my introduction to the True Detective franchise, and although I enjoyed the season well enough until the ending, I'm going back and watching season 1 for the first time and yeah, it's amazing how stark the contrast is in quality.

It's because they watched Fargo once and wanted to make Fargo without understanding what made Fargo great.

Here is my gripe with the positive reviews of the season: I watch the series because I like detective mysteries. In interviews and articles for the season, the main focus and topic have been female leads, inclusion, etc., so when viewers bring up any criticism of the actual mystery itself, they're derided as hating those things because, for whatever reason, the narrative is that those things cannot be separated. It's pretty frustrating and insane, and it is just causing more pushback from critical viewers.

I passed puddles on my way to work this morning that were more well rounded and not nearly as shallow as this show. It made a lot more sense when I learned that Issa Lopez has a background in telenovela. It was never going to satisfy people who like a well thought out mystery.

I liked both season 2 (has great moments) and season 3 (extremely underrated, great season), so they did good by continuing the series. Also, TD = Nic Pizzolato, no Nic = that's not TD

was expecting a great cosmic horror ending, got a very non believable sorority heist.

It’s like they’re afraid to make dark desolate adult shows. Had they just made this show not under the True Detective moniker it may have passed, but since they did it shines a big spotlight on just how bad it is.

I thought the last two episodes were really, really, really disappointing and poorly written(acted well though at least). I loved (LOVED) episodes 1 and 2, but already at 3 I started to have concerns. The 6 episodes run wasn't enough clearly. Too many plot holes or things they never came back to: 1- What about all the elk in the very first scene of episode 1 that leapt off the cliff? 2- Why put the spiral, the Tuttle family, Travis Cohle, what's inside Clarks trailer (the bones and stuff) and all the other season 1 references and do nothing with them? If you take out everything of the season, it wouldn't change anything since they didn't add none. I thought it was a cheap device to make people guess and come back every week. 3- The way Annie dies in the finale versus what they saw on her cell phone was completely different. 4- They never came back on the ending of episode 4 when Danvers found Navarro sitting on the floor, in a transe, with her ears bleeding. 5- They never came back to Navarro's vision of the dead soldier. 6- Why Rose is so ok with dropping bodies? lol 7- So I guess Navarro finally ends her life and come back as a ghost? The list goes on as I have many more issues with the season. They spent way too much time opening storylines, on mysteries (was it all supernatural or realistic) without ever really closing them and most of the characters, albeit well acted, were all only on the surface. We never got to really know them that well since we only got a general idea about who they were. And since they spent so much time on the ''horror'' aspect, in the end, there was nothing supernatural about it really so there's no rewatchability, in the sense that since we know the magic trick and it was a realistic one, the horror/tension scenes won't work well cause we know. I'll probably never watch it again.

I bailed on this show after ep3. I agree with everything you said. On top of that, I kept wondering why virtually no one was talking about the supernatural aspect. When they found the frozen corpses they were screaming at one point and no one mentions it?

this season was all over the place. I gave up after episode 4. it just seemed like this crazy, freakish murder occurred and the show put that on the backburner in favor of a bunch of nothingness

Nice analysis. Finale solved none of the issues with this season. Even had people jumping into ice holes without a way to extracting themselves in a suicidal fashion.

Whats crazy is ALL the humor in Season 1 comes from Rust and Hart's characters being different people. I couldn't tell you a single thing about Nazarro that isn't true about Jodie Cormer (who's name I literally don't know after 5 episodes) besides their race

I'm waiting for someone to drop a 1-2 hour long video essay tearing into this season for how shamelessly bad it truly is, but this one is really good in the mean time 😁If no one else makes it after a while, I'm going to make it myself.

"Hopefully, the finale is a banger!" NARRATOR: The finale was not, in fact, a "banger".

This season sucks

TD:Night Country, "Beating around the bush" best describes the series

Missed opportunities… They should have leaned into the supernatural/horror aspect more or simply stuck with a similar storyline to S1 (girls being murdered by shadowy figures). Rose and Qavik were wasted characters… was expecting more from at least one of them. If Qavik had killed Annie that would have been a shocker… they could have even made Navarro’s sister (who worked for Qavik in the bar) find out somehow and had Qavik kill her too… would have added some major tension for the finale. For Rose… would have been nice if she turned out not to be a real person… a spirit of the Night Country. All in all I didn’t hate it… but I don’t think they’ll ever be able to make a TD that’s on the level of S1. Reminds me a lot of Westworld in that way. Set the bar way too high with the first season and just couldn’t match it after that.

I 100% agree. I wrote my own criticisms just above yours if you want to read them, but overall yeah...so many missed opportunities. ''They should have leaned into the supernatural/horror aspect more or simply stuck with a similar storyline to S1 (girls being murdered by shadowy figures)'' That's exactly what I said to my gf after we watched it. Since, at the end of the day, nothing was really supernatural per se (and some stuff are just up for interpretation), re-watching the season won't be compelling again because all those ''supernatural'' scenes or segments were not ''real''. So, for example, seeing a shadowy form running quickly from left to right on the screen, knowing now that it's only Clark running to hide himself, won't be scary at all because your brain knows that it's not supernatural. I could go on, like you said, they should've leaned hard on the supernatural or realism. Not both equally cause it never works.

Explain to me how this is the highest ranked season by these corrupt critics?

This show doesn’t know what the hell it wants to be. The characters just say ominous things that can’t be explained and never are. It’s like one long trailer.

A women being unkind is not a sign of strength. Same goes for men, and all people.

supercuts, do you watch fargo?

I don’t know what’s worse. All the ghosts, or the Swat team cleaning ladies.

The swat team cleaning ladies. It doesn't get any dumber than that.

Is season 3 worth watching?

Yea, it's not talked about much but it definitely is the 2nd best season of the show. The case is intriguing, it has that typical True Detective philosophical pondering too. It is the slowest burn of all 4 seasons though and some people don't like that.

i liked it. 7/10

i walked away from the screen during the finale. The way they tied it all together was horrible and illogical.

I’ve consistently enjoyed it

How? What about it do you legitimately enjoy so much?

The "mystery" is complicated, but not complex. Spoiler: Ep 6 sucks too, maybe worse.

I'm enjoying the show insofar as I needed something to watch on Sunday nights. My biggest gripe is how slowly the plot has moved forward, raising more questions than answers. I don't know how they're going to wrap this up in one episode

13:00 source?

I haven't seen the show but by just watching this, the main characters cheek piercings are very distracting. I now don't wish to watch just because of that...

0:03 why the long face?

Billie Eyelash being involved is all you gotta know

i just remember the pierced black female cop in alaska beating up a couple of guys and then scenes where kids walking in on the frozen pile of corpses and just ignores them like its nothing special. its just nonsensical

"We were to understand that there would be Love and craft?" "There isn't any." "Oh." [Leaves room]

It really did suck a lot… i thought Jodie Foster would be the perfect actress for the roll, but her performance was just corny and obnoxious. I hated it, mediocre at best…

Sounds like real life to me. What kinds of cops do you get to work in AK?

@alexmartin3143

Ones that don’t murder other cops… Ideally…

And how about naming their child Darwin?? What writer thought that would be edgy and totally not out of place 😂

Of course they’ll blame it on “toxic masculinity” but in reality the acting wasn’t an issue at all it was the story telling easily the worst season of true detective it led to absolutely nothing and was insanely lackluster

Dude the whole “a bacteria that makes you live forever” aspect couldn’t have been more dumb especially since they didn’t true this in with s1

I haven’t seen Foster in many years. Yikes! I know we all age and we all age differently. I myself am 64 but for some reason I wasn’t expecting her to look so old. I’ve seen season 1 and season 4. Probably won’t watch another season until it’s finished and I read the reviews. I don’t want to waste my time on another season like this one.

Michael j Fox is the best part of the show

Excellent analysis. Night Country is NOT True Detective, sadly.

It is disappointing. You are absolutely right about te tone I enjoyed Kali Reis, but her comments were atrocious.

your oppenheimer video is impossible to find :(

I knew what we were in for when she set up the pictures in a spiral because…..symbolism? Plot? It was so Hollywood man.

Horrible season. The writers tried to do way too much and got lost in the end. The also relied on stupid horror cliches to try to move their unfocued story forward.

Even though I’m not the biggest fan of the season, it could’ve done with 8 episodes since there’s one left now and nothing has happened really.

This was by far the shittiest thing I’ve seen in a long time like just terrible in every way possible wtf HBO

First episode when the Eskimo Lady Cop beat up a guy while simultaneously having a conversation on a phone, I was done.

Whew boy, just wait until you watch the finale. It was...something.

Literally, within the first five minutes of the season, I said to my wife, “well, they fucked up True Detective” and it’s been a slow, rolling disaster ever cents. I literally didn’t read anything about this season prior to watching it, I was still of the understanding that the original writer was attached. I instantaneously knew that he wasn’t with the first couple lines of dialogue. It’s cliché to say that the show got woke, but it’s so in your face here, there’s no woke stone left unturned. Truly a disappointment. It’s the same old thing in the comments sections on Facebook pages about the show. Half the audience thinks that this is the greatest thing ever put on film, the other half of the audience knows that it’s garbage.

I’m really looking forward to the new HBO show “The Regime” with Kate Winslet. That looks SO GOOD. She looks like she’s acting her ass off in it. Hopefully it’s not disappointing like this one. I haven’t even seen this show yet but since I agree with your reviews 99.99% of the time, I know I’ll hate it. When I see the trailers and that Jodie Foster was in, I expected it to at least be appealing if not perfect. But it seems more like something I can just skip. You and I have the exact same taste in tv and film so I just know this will blow. You are somehow always into the same exact sh*t that I’m into.

Cringe activism killed this season. Politics i agree with but drag down any storytelling potential by insisting on itself and talking down to the audience.

Crappiest crap there ever was. Hollywood is dead and gone.

It was so bad i stopped pirating the episodes, waste of bandwidth.

I didn't hate it. Some of it was irritating but I was on board for the most part. Jodie Foster was great. But the finale was absolutely awful. It was cheesy, borderline saccharine nonsense, and the ambiguity about the more 'supernatural' elements fell completely flat. It Soured the entire season for me.

@@JesseWelds I thought she was one of the best parts of night country. She was good in Silence of the lambs. Also there's a movie from the 70s she was in as a kid that she was good in.

Thank you. Very much appreciate your detailed evaluation. Agree with your assessment.
