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.

When i ended watching this episode the first thing i tought was ok this is solid and its similar to the first season and they have a show running again. Then i saw all the reivews that say this is terrible and what not. It simple isnt true. I see alot of complaints about spiritual stuff. The same was in the first season its basicly a story about the church and this thing is connected to some native superstition. The season so far is interesting and its slow paced but so was the first season.

This episode we find out more about whats going on but in an hour we didnt really get any informations about the case which is why this episode get only 8/10.

Compared to the story and acting of season 2 this is a hit but compared to season one it can be better. I like judie forster and finn. They seem to be a good combo. Agent Navarro is pretty bad tbh. I guess shes in the show for diversity reasons and not because shes a good actor.

Anyway i hope the story will continue in this mistirous tone and we will have a good season. Even these two episodes its far better then the 2nd and 3rd season.

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 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?

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.
