January 22, 20241 yr Gonna have to rally to get to where season 1 was. Still in but it’s struggling a bit…
January 22, 20241 yr As someone who has done quite a bit of work in Alaska, I really wonder if the creator has ever spent time in Alaska at all. Everything from the layout of the city (this is trying to replicate Nome or Utqiagvik but it is way too big) to the vibes of the stores is just so off.
January 22, 20241 yr Kinda weird that nobody once mentioned the screaming corpse in tonight’s episode.

I think the creator is from Mexico and all her prior stuff does not have the best of reviews. She said she was approached by HBO due to a movie she made with super natural elements. I like others taped out about caring who done it after the first episode but will watch till the end because of Jodie Foster. p.s. I have never been to Alaska and I kept thinking what kind of town that far north in Alaska has more than two cops and is that big. Edited January 22, 20241 yr by DanTheHorn
January 22, 20241 yr All those talking about this having "The Thing" vibes. Spoiler López started to concoct a stew that combined her love of Holmes with some other pop culture fascinations, including the detective team in David Fincher’s “Seven,” the Arctic terror of John Carpenter‘s “The Thing” and a general interest in the real-life “unsolved mysteries of humankind.” She let it boil, and then put it aside. Then HBO called, asking her what she would do if she were handed the reins to the “True Detective” franchise.
January 22, 20241 yr Gave it a shot. Got most of the way through episode 2. This shit is terrible. I really thought Jodie Foster would save it, but it's fucking painful. I'll skip the rest and read spoilers after the season.

January 22, 20241 yr 10 hours ago, wildcat09 said: Kinda weird that nobody once mentioned the screaming corpse in tonight’s episode. Because it happened before the opening song. They mention the dude is in the hospital in an induced coma. Then it gets pushed out the way by all the other clues / info that comes up in the ep. The trailer looks like it shows Jodie questioning him about the night. I like the show. Getting cult-y / voodoo-y like season 1. It's still hard to figure out the timeline because of the always dark shit. Like this ep 2 took place in one day I think...but seems like 2. I would assume wearing a watch would be a requirement up there. Edited January 22, 20241 yr by utxmike05
January 22, 20241 yr I'm digging it so far. Liking the callbacks to season 1. Interested to see how Rust Cohle's ghost dad plays into this. The Tuttle connection could be interesting. I'm not hating any of the characters too much. Jodi Foster has been great. I'm excited. It's been much better than the first few episodes of the last two seasons.

The frozen dude gave me "sloth" from Se7en vibes.

I imagine if the Cohle thing is anything more than an Easter Egg, it's his brother, not his father given timelines. But who knows? My guess is that none of the easter eggs really pay off and it's all fan/Reddit service. My prediction is that the one dude not in the ice went nutso and walked everyone out there, and Jodie Foster more or less told us exactly what happened in her lesson to the young cop in the hockey rink (hypothermia induced psychosis, etc.). The only thing weird is that the TikTok cooks phone went haywire right after the guy said "She's awake". Anyway, Season 3 was the same way, and it basically told us so in the episodes leading to the finale - but we wanted something much more sinister. All that said, I am enjoiyng it and looking forward to the internet losing its shit when nothing extraordinary happens vis a vis all the random theories.

January 22, 20241 yr During the Jodie Foster sex scene, my wife chimed in "Well, she is a great actress...."

It’s like Foster is cosplaying Harrelson from S1. I’m out on this one - it’s a steaming pile of shit and has worse writing and acting than a network mini series.
January 22, 20241 yr Would be better if somewhere in Rust’s interviews he said “oh yeah, did I mention this shit was going on in Alaska too? My pops heard about it from this frigid lesbian he was banging.”
January 22, 20241 yr There is a bit more creepy for the sake of creepy to this season than i would prefer. it's hard to describe how they did it so perfectly in season one but they just did and they've been chasing it ever since. i am still in and i am interested in where it is going but it would be nice if there was just an occasional sense of normal life and not everyone being a stoic, unredeemable asshole with a totally fucked up life and horrible interpersonal relationships incapable of making a decent decision. the older detective prior allowing himself to be catfished feels unrealistic, the amount of shit the younger prior takes off jodie seems unrealistic, the stereotypical everyone talks to ghosts because there are indigenous people around, the jodie just being a bulldozing bitch to literally everyone. the interpersonal stuff between jodie and the trooper is fucking tired. knock that shit out in ep 1 and let them start working together. again, they nailed that with matthew and woody...that they annoyed each other (even fucked the other's wife)...but there was at least some helpful dialogue and professional working relationship and respect between them. it wasn't just this constantly miserable "fuck you, fuck you" trope. so far, the teacher that jodie went to consult, her daughter's underaged girlfriend, and the bartender that trooper keeps bootycalling are the only people i don't hate. It's trying to be a darker twin peaks but without any of the enjoyable parts. hopefully now that our two main characters are going to start collaborating, it will become a bit more enjoyable.

I’m out on this one - it’s a steaming pile of shit and has worse writing and acting than a network mini series. It’s pretty bad. The laughing and taking selfies with the frozen crew was so insane. And how realistic for a hs girl to see those bodies in defrost mode and just act like no big deal. I’ll keep watching, but it sucks. Also hard to give a fuck about any of the characters. Edited January 22, 20241 yr by ChiTownDoc
January 22, 20241 yr Yeah, I liked episode 1. episode 2 was rough. Like anyone off the street can just waltz in to the arena and check on the status of the thaw? I assume the corpse scream was intended to just be gas escaping from a thawing body. But will probably lead to something later on. still interested to see what the polar bear angle is all about. and what spooked the elk in the opening scene of the series (or was that supposed to have timed up with when the dude inside Tsalal said “She’s awake”) and how will the cross necklace Navarro threw in the middle of the road come back later? (She’s sucks by the way. I think her acting is awful) Am I asking the right questions, Jodie? Edited January 22, 20241 yr by UTexasFight

No the dude was still alive. Craziest fucking thing anyone has ever seen and it went unmentioned the rest of the episode (aside from the brief "he's in a coma" scene).
January 22, 20241 yr I’m still digging it. Episodes 1 and 2 worked for me. I want to know what the hell happened out there.
January 22, 20241 yr I'm enjoying it, but don't think it's going to be an award winner. Short enough that I'll see it through and hopefully it will get better.
January 22, 20241 yr I’m about to watch Ep 2, but I’m disappointed with some of the reactions: I’ve always been a big Jodie Foster fan. She doesn’t usually do shitty projects.
January 23, 20241 yr Author I'm enjoying it. I'm not looking for it to match season 1. That's never going to happen again. I just want a good story, some creepiness, and the usual cop/deeply flawed hero construct this series is all about. I also thought the screaming was gas expelling from the uncovered bodies. I'm curious how they're going to make that work when all the rest of the people went crazy and clawed themselves to death. How did this one guy survive?

January 23, 20241 yr Nic Pizzolatto isnt involved in this. The opening says based on True Dectective, so it's kind of its own animal riding the coat tails. That said, I've enjoyed it. Something about the 30 days of night is a spooky and interesting setting, even if not totally accurate. Also, apparently a similar event happend in the 50s where a bunch of russians went running naked in the snow which was an inspiration for this show. https://screenrant.com/true-detective-night-country-true-story-inspirations-explained/
January 23, 20241 yr I need a roster now as I can’t keep up with Danvers relationships, dead husbands, exes, fuck buddies, kids, step kids, whatever. Hockey League and figure skate class will have to deal with the huge blood and body fluid stain on the ice.
