True Dectective season 4

GreenRiverGatorz said:
This season had the bones to be good - harsh Arctic winter with a supernatural element to it. Jodie Foster is actually doing quite well despite being given an abortion of a script.
But that abortion is beyond saving. Beyond the convoluted mess that is the mystery itself and all the weak plot points that are supposed to somehow string it together, the entire tone of the show makes no god damn sense. Here we have six scientists freeze to death in horrific and unknown circumstances with suggested involvement from some kind of supernatural freak of a creature, yet no one in this town seems the least bit bothered. They might as well be investigating embezzlement.

I kind of even forgot about the scientist stuff. I knew things were bad when in the first episode every person was opening their sentences by saying out loud the other person's name or relationship to them when they greeted each other. That's like shit that will get your script thrown in the trash on the first few pages usually. The MMA fighter cop chick might be the worst actor I've ever seen in anything. Don't worry though the person who is running this season I think is blaming criticism of this season on mens rights trolls or some shit.

how about the pierced cheeks on the cop. You don’t even see that in Seattle.

We’re trying to watch episode four this morning and my wife just said the piercings are too distracting to even pay attention to the dialogue. Glad they got a female minority hero cop though… TITTT

A tatted up and pierced woman of Native descent and a fat ass?
She's a @Swaye wet dream

Probably a plus to not have to hear that dialogue.
 
There should be a Tokyo Vice thread. Most worthwhile use of time on Max in awhile.
 
Is the last episode even worth watching? I Googled and saw a list of 25 unanswered questions and holy shit it sounds like this thing was a high school creative writing project that got a B-.

It was fine. I didn't feel like my time was wasted.
Then again I watched 3+ hour Oppenheimer this weekend so maybe that was part of it.

Tokyo Vice is solid but the subtitles are hard to follow after an edible.

Not impressed 2 episodes in

The show as a whole starts slow because there's no other way to show how impressive/hard it was for Jake Adelstein to get that job in the first place. The rest of it has been fictionalized off of real things he investigated that IRL were probably pretty boring.
The Yakuza lord cutting in front of the line to get his liver transplant at UCLA, and then threatening Adelstein that he would kill him and his family if he reported on it, apparently really happened though. Name was just changed.
 
I guess I’ll rank Night Country third in the series because I finished it as compared to season two. It’s not by much though. Didn’t have me captivated at all. Meh at best
 
Tokyo Vice kicks ass and blows night country out of the water. Race you need to give it more than 2 episodes.

Watched #3 last night. The problem is that I don't give a shit about any of the characters and it lacks tits and violence. There was a little more in 3
 
Night Country was like last year's ASU game with Powell's pick six. I will actually rank season 4 behind season 2 because they just focused on building a lot of it around leftist porn concepts and season 2 the people who made it actually earned getting to make something incoherent. This was literally something someone would write in a creative writing class which had a few ideas but then was just a complete mess.
