Let's talk about True Detective seasons 2 and 3 (total spoilers ahead)

I spent the past two days binge watching both seasons (3 and then 2). I saw s1 4 or 5 years ago.

Season 1 was probably top 10 if not top 5 TV kino for the whole decade. I don't think much discussion is warranted on that one.

Season 2 - What the frick was that ending? It felt like they killed both of them without much of a reason and there was no payoff. They still could have reasonably done this if there had been some sort of payoff, but there wasn't. Every single moid main character was killed off, along with most of the minor ones, and the girlbosses were the only ones that survived. I don't actually think this was a woke thing, just weird writing. Plus all the usual complaints about the directing and general midness of the whole thing. Pre-sobriety Ray is literally me though, and Vince Vaughn urban warfare was fun at times.

I did notice that the raven mask character and several of the plot points surrounding him and otherwise in the show seemed to be lifted straight from the Hotline Miami vidya franchise.

Season 3 - Return to form. First half felt almost as good as season 1, but the 3-layer simultaneous separate timelines felt excessive and confusing at times and I wasn't as happy with the second half. The bipoc main character was fine and didn't feel forced. Grace Gummer's (I assume everyone here has seen Mr Robot) sister is in it and their faces are similar enough that I briefly thought it was her. Overall pretty good but not as good as season 1. The dementia stuff was kinda mid but they mostly pulled it off and the fake death was decently done as a plot twist, if not in actual delivery.

Season 4 - Haven't started. I'll probably binge it at some point after the entire thing is available online, mostly because of gilfmode Jodie Foster (she has aged impeccably).

Lmao, Mr. Robot another redditor approved slop. Not surprised that you would prefer S3 over S2

I was like 16 when I saw Mr Robot lmao; didn't say it was a masterpiece (s1 of that was unironically good tho)

It was a return to form in terms of aesthetic (rural south instead of urban Los Angeles) and anachronistic presentation.

I actually went into it expecting the bipoc MC to be totally yassified and wakanda'd etc but except for some throwaway race lines and scenes it really wasn't that bad. I agree the dementia part wasn't as well done as it could've been.

Honestly it was so boring that I don't even remember anything about it :#tayshrug: anymore. Just the dementia part because I seethed about that to my friends, who all also hated it 🤣 to varying degrees

That lead neighbor in S3 is almost as bad as the one from Tenet lol

You're right about it being kinda boring; I saw it literally less than 48 hours ago completely sober and I'm already forgetting details. As I said, I liked the first half or so of the season but the second half was kinda bad (dozens of minutes of watching literal senile boomers fumbling around and forgetting where they are, and too much uninteresting time spent on relationships mostly irrelevant to the plot).

The bipoc actor wasn't great at acting (merely adequate) but in terms of how his character was /written/, it didn't feel like a Wakanda or Lawd Dem Rangz situation where I was being forced to see as many bipocs as they could fit on the screen solely for the sake of seeing bipocs. He wasn't the best choice for lead of the season tho. The white guy pulled off his character a lot more convincingly.

You're probably right because I don't remember :#jannybell:ing about it :#tayscrunch:

The (simple) theory I buy on S2 being so different from S1 is that they just didn't want to make the same thing but with different people in it. And I kinda get it. I mean look at how S3 turned out :#marseyoperasmug:

And I just can't imagine how :#marseyeyelidpulling: inducing S4 is gonna be :#taystop:

Exactly, s3 almost feels like they overcorrected back towards making a clone of s1 and then made the resolution of the crime really underwhelming to compensate for the overcorrection.

I'm holding judgement on s4 and hoping Jodie Foster at least makes it watchable.

I mainly remember that the "murder" turned out to be one of the stupidest fricking things I've ever seen on TV, and then r-slurs claiming the show wasn't really about the murder anyway. Okay cool, but why make it stupid?

If the world was a more dramatic place all these celebs would get their legions of fans to war against each other eg Beyonce Beehive vs Nicki Minaj Barbs. Probably what the Crusades looked like.
