There was never any supernatural elements in True Detective. There were references to stories of the supernatural, but there was nothing actually supernatural. I’m not sure why you’re hyperfixating on that, considering it was a small part of the whole criticism.

Did you miss she was talking to the FBI, which is what he went inside to warn the others about in the first place?

That’s more a season three thing. In this season, everyone knows the truth and everyone knows that everyone knows the truth, but acknowledging it would lead to consequences they don't want to face.

Yes, it’s gaslighting. She doesn’t do it because they’re “naive innocents,” she does it because her husband tells his mother everything, which the show made it a point to show multiple times.

They make it a point to show us multiple times that her husband tells his mother everything, which is why she lies to him. Everything she does is driven by fear and survival.

They both are also used to throwing their weight around the rest of the country and will not like having to bend the knee. Also, they will have water issues in the near future.

All movies are pointless.

Nobody actually gives a shit, including the people on the show.

Shiro Sagisu, who composed Evangelion, did a version of Decisive Battle for Shin Godzilla.

Is this a departure from his typical comedy, or what?

And Steven Soderbergh for a few scenes.
