It’s so IMPORTANT and BRAVE that they gave a property like this to an untalented hack like Issa Lopez.

You can’t be serious. It was TERRIBLE. I was legitimately shocked by just how awful it was. Between giving this an A- and the ridiculous Lisa Frankenstein review, this site has lost every last shred of credibility. 

This season was messy, primarily because there was too much going on. The same major touchstones could have been addressed with 3-4 strands of narrative. Still, this show has its energy back, but it needs to tighten up.

“Even Season 1 was poorly written and trite and obnoxious”

They're both insanely bad cops lol

Two dumb questions:

#2: We all know someone who claims to see spirits, ghosts, or the dead. I think Navarro also had the same visions as her mother and sister. If we want to be grounded about it, it’s a mental condition these women had. The series shows us most of the supernatural stuff from Navarro’s POV, and so they’re probably hallucin…

There were multiple parts during the finale where I actually groaned or yelled at the screen. The scene where they find the ladder and climb up and realize they’re in the TSALAL station...and then it shows an exterior showing the TSALAL station, as if it’s some grand reveal. Like YES, CLEARLY that’s where they are,…

This was not the worst season of True Detective. But by god it was the most disappointing. What a wet fart of an ending.

Who left Annie’s tongue at Tsalal Station? “Some questions just don’t have answers”

keep watching footy. saying TD1 sucked is mind boggeling

These reviews and interviews are paid HBO advertisement. 

I would have never expected this show to lean so hard on the supernatural and mystical. I’m surprised that more people aren’t offended at this portrayal of the indigenous as a magical, superstitious group of sage super detectives. It reduces a compelling story of an indigenous death, townie indifference, and corporate…

The first 5 episodes of this season prepared me for the most inane and embarrassing limp over the finish line. Glad to say it didn’t disappoint in that regard. I'll endeavor to never upset the cleaning staff again. Season 5 when?

Hoo boy, that was 10 pounds of narrative shit stuffed into a five pound bag.

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:

this should kill whatever is left of jodie foster’s career. I say this as someone who has loved her in lots of stuff. She was godawful in this. her default take was “gentle, befuddled grandma”??

Did we watch the same ending!?

I was genuinely excited for this season, especially for Foster, Hawkes, Eccleston, and Shaw. Saw a couple interviews with Lopez that quelled that a bit but was still cautiously optimistic. I’m glad I waited til today to binge this because this was a sloppy, disjointed mess. The acting was the only good thing about it,…

They were going to “save the world”? HOW exactly? No details at all, huh? Just going to say “micro-organisms”? Well, OK then!
