OT: True Detective: S4 Night Country (2 Viewers)

[skersker]

The director has had a knack for doing it. Most of this shows or movies he's directed has a few one shots.

With that said, even the last scene of that episode with the guy walking across the grassy field was a 'holy crap' intimidating look for nothing but a methhead.

It was good but it had other shows try to imitate it and it got annoying. GoT did one afterwards in Winterfell during The Long Night and it looked amateurish.

thats because the long night was terrible and no one could see a damn thing lmao

Couldn't get into any of them after season 1. Am I dumb for that? I can try again - but damn the first season was perfectly awesome.

Season 2 sucked. Total casting mistake for Vince Vaughn.
Season 3 was great with a good payoff.

more ive watched season 2 less ive hated it. its not great by any means, but they just tried too hard. season 3 is wildly under appreciated IMO

Watched first episode of Night Country today. Really enjoyed it. I’m definitely in.

Has a definite horror vibe this time around.

Could be tying into the psychological impact of being in darkness 90% of the time in the winter months.

Pretty sure the crime rate surges during those months which is an interesting plot device.

Wow you need to go watch season 1 immediately

So they're all different in their own way. But True Detective Season 1 is the best 8 episode show you will ever watch.

The writer spent years working on that thinking it wouldn't ever get produced and followed by having the same director direct all 8 episodes.

The reason why we have this season of True Detective is because of those 8 episodes. It's like having Usain Bolt being your lead in the 1600 meter relay.

About halfway through the first season. Yep it's good.

The six minute tracking shot is maybe the best six minutes in tv history lol

Holy shit that was insane

Little jealous you get to watch that for the first time. Kinda like Game of Thrones, would be amazing to watch for the first time again. Up until the final season of course.

I have a client with Dementia. Every year he tells me the best part is he can watch the same Netflix series over and over. I laugh every time like it's the first time I'm hearing it.

Is his name Tom?

Haven't watched any other season but this first episode was great TV. Drew me in immediately.

Season 1 of TD is still the best single season of any series imo. It's must watch.

Edit: Just reading the rest of the thread and saw you're watching it. Good.

Season 2 sucked. Total casting mistake for Vince Vaughn.
Season 3 was great with a good payoff.

Thought Season 2 got too much into public sector terminology early like zoning disputes and stuff like that and was confusing to follow. Along with the casting mistakes. Vaughn being taken seriously as a bad guy is impossible.

Season 3 was good until the finale imo. Left a lot to be desired for having a promising story line.

Vaughn can be a good villain, but I just don't believe the script gave him a chance to shine in that type of role.

Season 2 and 3 just fell short due to the bar set by Season 1. Both had their flaws, but those flaws really stuck out compared to Season 1.

Hopefully 4 doesn't do that.

Anyone watch E2? Thoughts? What’s with the frozen guy screaming?

Don’t love any of the characters so far. The writing seems meh as well. Intrigued by the storyline and the tie-backs to S1.
