Yeah, I think a lot of people don’t realise that HBO demanded that Issa López graft on TD Season 1 references that had no place there. It ruined the story and it’s HBO’s fault.

Bro, you might want to rewatch Season 1 with an eye towards the police brutality on display if you think any of this is new.

a few minutes on the subreddit will confirm a LOT of it is misogyny and racism.  Whooole lot of piss babies bitching about DEI.

Lil’ Timmy is really committed to the “be a raging dickhead on kinja” bit, for whatever stupid/pathetic reason kinja trolls do kinja troll shit.

Love that you started this conversation. Part of the appeal for me of Season 1 was that the *detective* story itself was kinda weak; the bigger message was a meta-commentary on detective stories (and so much else). Hell, even the title was part of that meta-commentary. Looking back on it, with NP’s reactions here,…

I haven’t watched this new season yet (definitely planning to), but holy hell is the reddit sub for TD a total shitshow since this season debuted. It’s just full of people falling over themselves to fellate Pizzolatto and shit on the new season (and yeah, there are quite a few dog whistles about “wokeness” and “DEI”…

This man is celebrated for 1 season of television; he wasn’t a better writer in season 1 than he was for seasons 2 or 3. The difference was 1) 2 strong performers who really gelled with the material and each other and 2) a fantastic blend of direction, cinematography and production design that was not repeated in…

Misogyny and racism are always part of the mix, but I think we can also embrace that some people just reasonably hated the way this season was crafted. Two things can be true. But Pizzolatto just has no class. He walked away from this show. And he can’t extend a little grace to its inheritors? Dude needs thereapy. 

Just like there was in S1. The show is usually pretty good, but it’s not perfect and never has been. I just feel like I’ve seen a lot more shitting on this season that I didn’t see on S1, and I think a lot of what’s good and bad about this season is on par with the same from S1. So it does make me question why that…

Thank you. Every single season so far has thrived by creating an atmosphere of lurking dread that’s a little occult in nature. Each season then undercuts that atmosphere with “reveals” near the season’s end.

Knowing this I stilll come back each time! That’s how much I love the vibes and take each season’s weaknesses…

While I wouldn’t rank it over S1, it is easily one of the more interesting seasons of television I’ve seen recently. 

Coming from Pizzolatto I’d say it’s probably half misogyny, half egomaniac showrunner/control freak.

For a show that coasted so much on *vibes* Pizzolatto sure has a high f’ing opinion of his own fun but stupid writing.

I can’t help wondering if there is some misogyny in this and a lot of other criticisms of the season. Honestly, it may be my favorite season of the show. 

The people I know who are watching S4 don’t even know the creative team changed, they just know it got good again after 2 seasons they didn’t like. I tell them it’s a new creative team and they’re super surprised.

7). Why is Danvers willingly letting 12 murderers go free when she’s a police officer?

I really disliked this season (each ep was a C- to F for me), but I think I have some genuine answers to your questions:

1). Who left Annie K’s tongue?

I don’t know what changes they made after season 1, but they are welcome. This show is much better this season so far.

That’s a lot of wasted words just to tell everyone you’re a cunt.
