Night Country: Part 2

Issa Lopez simply misses the mark, full of ideology and unnecessary sub plots, awfull dialogs, and sobrenatural ( not spiritual ) talk it's empty, even Jodie foster great acting can't change that, Issa didn't understand what make true detective great, the mood, the scenery, the real people, great dialogs, story seem recicled from lots of old movies, the two main actress don't have any chemistry together, I know it's unfair to compare with the first season but I don't think true detective is on the right path and add current ideology and progressive stuff doesn't did any good. Sorry HBO try again or bring back Nick.

This season is just awful. I can see the writing on the wall. Whoever wrote this either had zero interest in writing a detective story or just had no supervision. There's just so much baggage with each episode. At least last night there was about 10 minutes of actual relevant story and detective work. But, the rest was more the same of the first episode. Just a bunch of scenes of dysfunctional people and departments. The whole story of the cop and his mail order bride and the deal with his son, it's just too stupid and boring. Why have this in there? Same goes for the subplot with Jodie foster'"daughter" in the show. That story feels like absolutely pandas material too and annoys me.

It's bad and I don't expect it to get better. Hopefully my wife loses interest so we can stop watching because i am starting to actual hate the show. It's such a slog.

Bad Writing, meet your friend Bad Acting. Mix in a few Native clichés and you got some of Qavviks homebrew. Ennis comes alive!

It's Season 4 of True Detective. Everyone is having sex with everyone else and now we know why they hate the Beatles. Sure, there's now the bare bones of an actual cop procedural, but don't be fooled. This is a show where sisters have intimate conversations about mental health in the grocery store so that everyone in the small town can listen in and cold cases are solved by ghosts and convenient phone videos.

Truly Netflix-level stuff. Not a hint of the True Detective brand. And that's a problem because what distinguished TD from the gazillion other cop shows was airtight direction, great set design and fabulous acting. Too much of Season 4 is bad soap opera logic piled on top of head-scratchers like "why is there conveniently no ice on that window?" and "do people really talk like that?"

Can't wait for Jody Foster to pull the mask off the phantom to see who he really is...

Come on in and look all you want. We'll also put this unarmed rookie police kid in charge.

Honestly, I never much thought of Jodie Foster as an actress but she's pretty dire in this even by her poor standards.

An absolutely train wreck of an anthology that has failed to recover even a slightest pulse after the jaw dropping 1st series.

The dialogue is hilarious, acting to make your eyes bleed and a drama so devoid of tension, charisma and credibility that it's enough to ruin careers.

I gave it a chance. The setting was promising, an isolated community in a sunless season in Alaska. Unexplained deaths unleash the most comical detective work on the face of the earth. Not carrying on after ep2.

The second episodes continues where the first one left off, bad acting, terrible writing, average dialogue and 50min of nothing really happening. Reis acting is awful trying to play a tough cop continuously making comments about 'white boys' just doesn't work on any level not to mention the cringeworthy sex scenes in episode 1. This whole show so far is just mediocre and nothing remotely close to the quality of season 1 & 3. I'm hoping it's improves as I unlikely to finish the season at this rate. There's some hints at a decent show in there somewhere if they can stop focusing on everything other than the main story line.
