Night Country: Part 2

The central mystery is mysterious and there's enough general intrigue to keep things interesting. The season claims to be an inverted spiritual successor to Season 1. So far it isn't. It's a slickly-produced grim and dark television cop show with some possibly supernatural elements, and it's fine, but even with some callbacks and easter eggs it doesn't even belong in the same conversation as legendary Season 1.

And since the writer/director made a point of blaming the tepid audience response on a bigoted reaction to two female leads I have to ask: where are the female leads? Jodie Foster and Kali Reis are female actresses, but the two lead characters they portray are stereotypical alpha male dudebro pigs: stoic, emotionally repressed, confrontational, verbally and physically aggressive, crude, vulgar and always down for some empty fornication with whoever they can use. How can people be "review bombing" a show over its female leads when there aren't any?

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.

I was giddy when I found out the was another season. However, when I found out that it was a new writer/director I was highly skeptical. It made me wonder if it was a show that just had the True Detective tag attached.

The first episode got me intrigued, but the second episode hooked me.

I was genuinely saddened that the third episode was not available for streaming immediately.

Danvers and Navarro had just a smidge of their backstory revealed, but that was enough.

Honestly, the first episode didn't really sell me on either of them as the two leads.

But the second episode has me dying to see what exactly happened between the two of them and how they will work together on this case.

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.
