I might agree with there being bad things on every season. But youve forgotten the backlash of season 2 (as have i - i just remember the show being boring).

I think critisizing ethical behavior in any cop/detective/crime show is fine. A good crime show takes the viewer along for a morally grey ride, and when we see cops going down a path ‘outside of the law’, ‘going rogue’, we as an audience are left to wonder what we would do in a situation like that. Can we understand

Like many things, I didn’t buy Hank. You show him goofing around the whole time, being naive as fuck to think a literal russian bride will show up, being a bad dad, a cop who doesn’t care, and at the last moment, the show sort of drops two bombs; that he is in cahoots with the evil mining corp, and that he knows

See now this is what rattles me and got me to argue to begin with. I think it’s really fucking stupid to defend any criticism of the show as ‘you just don’t like it because it’s by a women with women’. Seriously? That’s like a meme argument by now, and one of the biggest straw men arguments of the internet. You can’t

I m a little wrong, because maybe he is a spam bot only critisizing shows with women of color, as ludicrous as that sounds, but i am also a little right, in that it is a little stupid that critism towards TD4 has anything to do with it feauturing women of color, considering it is somewhat objectively a pretty badly

I was on a review-reading-check up after watching the show. I’m trying to figure out why it got so many positive reviews. Because let’s just say “we”, as in the audience with an increasing frown watching this show, is not having it. On the truedetective reddit they’re full on meme-ing the show now and just accepted

Haven’t seen any of the posts by For Spam, but apparently it’s spamming. But, also dumb, is your argument that the show is bad according to people because it’s featuring women of color. This season is frankly, quite bad, and frankly, it’s unbelievability is only matched by critics who keep giving the episodes a 4 or 5

I don’t understand the discrepancy between the official critics and the people watching. Is it the benefit of the doubt because of HBO? Because of the name True Detective? Because of the all female team? I mean I want to give it the benefit of the doubt because of True Detective, but I can’t help agreeing with some of

I don’t understand why you’re not allowed to state your opinions with arguments. You did. They didn’t, they just hammered on you being a man.

But let’s talk True Detective. I liked the first episode, mostly because I wanted to like it. I was curious what the style difference would be compared to season 1, so I watched

I mean you’re not wrong, but stereotypical dumb men have also become a bit of a fast cliché within the span of a few years - if we want quality, we can’t just say “but you’ve been doing it too so now it’s our turn nananana”.

Enough movies I’d like to see. Didn’t know about the Ethan Coen one, Drive Away Dolls. But Macbeth was just too dark and serious, and if I didn’t know this one was a Coen movie I just would’ve seen a trailer for your run of the mill crimedy. They need each other, maybe? But it seems like the Coens have been done

I really wanted to like this show. I liked the mystery and I like the... world, I guess.

But there were too many small dumb things amounting to a big dumb thing. The dumb thing being that the protagonist is both figuratively and literally wearing all her secrets on top of her sleeve. She’s telling everyone: “I think

Agreed, but they also write articles about not writing about the Harry Potter Universe for the exact same reasons.

Okay I don’t care about the franchise, but think this would be cool to see.

I read about three articles about ‘Rude Grant’ before just now seeing the clip. And... I don’t see it? He does his best to answer mediocre (at best) questions, and sure he’s more “British” in his answers than “American”, but rude? Is the whole world Jezebel now?

Haha seriously? No youre just trolling. 

You can objectively fault the show for putting in not only one, but two almost thematically identical flashbacks that do not further the plot whatsoever. The first flashback was great, and thematically enriching to the story, and I agree with the creators that in a post apocalyptic world it’s good to remember we need

Exploring a character with flashbacks is like screenwriting mistake 101. Exploring a character with dream sequences is probably one page turnt earlier than that. It wasn’t a bad episode. But we already knew. Ellie’s character is literally already moved on beyond the point we saw - and yes, sure, we know a bit more

We already knew though. This episode didn’t tell us anything new. I found it a unnecessary episode. It wasn’t bad. But I want to see where the story is going. We already had an episode for the heart and it was better.

Yes, this. I asked about what it was she has actually said, and got linked to a video that she hangs out with bigots. You can definetely argue that she has said some arguable and old fashioned things, definetely. But when you actually “read” what she actually wrote (apart from her bigoty tweets), it comes down to...
