IT'S HAPPENING!!!

Please no. This dude make this excellent season and then 2-3 digshit ones. He got lucky on the first runthrough

Please don't ruin season 1 with a dumb extension off the side that ruins the characters

Let's just walk slowly out in the open to this drug den that we are raiding

Let's make it super obvious that we are all police by wearing vests and carrying around equipment like a battering ram

Let's only bring pistols, no rifles

Let's do this mid-day, not in the early morning like when police raids actually occur in the real world

Girlboss barking commands at everybody, cringey dialogue and posing straight out of a bad TV movie

And this was supposed to be the big action set piece climax of the season, made to rival the scene in season 1 where Rust has to drag Ginger out of the ghetto in a one take that lasted like 8 minutes and was flawless the entire time. They didn't even fucking try with season 2, one of the worst seasons of television I have ever seen

I just took a massive shit. Every one respond to this post with "Based" and "This is a far better idea for a direct sequel to True Detective season 1 than whatever Pizzalatte is thinking."

I wish this had been badly received.

Based

black waman country

ever be poorly received by critics

I would watch the Shit out of that. Retard pizza could never

Nobody cares about what critics "think" anymore

Jarvis, show me the audience score.

Season 2 was highly entertaining. Sure it wasn't season 1, but nothing is.

it sounded like the series was considered a success unfortunately.

it sounded like the series was considered a success unfortunately

Just like Disney Star Wars, and Captain Marvel

Season 2 was highly entertaining

Yeah, maybe if you're a complete retard

I don't understand why not more tv writers take inspiration from true detective and make something similar to it. Doesn't exactly have to be the same but there's so many stories and ideas you you can take from fiction and real life murders that could make a good unique detective story. It seems like most detective shows on tv are the typical copy and paste police procedural shit that offer nothing but for you to clap your hands whenever the same dumb criminal gets caught. The only piece of media I can think of that has a similar vibe to true detective is Disco Elysium.

I wonder why he hasn't done a single worthwhile thing in all that time since.

It seems like most detective shows on tv are the typical copy and paste police procedural shit

So... just like True Detective.

I stoppwd caring about this show when tehy dropped the supernatural elements. Either go full lovecraft/ligotti or im not watching

Nah you get more Night Country instead

True detective, at least with season 1 had interesting themes, characters, and a atmosphere that most detectives never do.

*Most detectives shows

imagine being so poisoned by retard contrarianism that you have to pretend you love the taste of shit just to own the normies

He didnt understand it

I enjoyed Season 3 but am not sure I would recommend it

pros:

good performances

cinematography looked good

I watched it with Anon Babble

I remember having the laptop with a stream by my side while watching it on the sofa on the big screen, good times.

cons:

doesn't feel like a tv series but a long movie

the series focuses only on the kids disappearing and thus it makes the duo look like inept cops who never got any result

end is just a bit of narration from a 2 bits character

How about Banshee or bordertown or The outsider,Mare of Easttown,Sharp objects?

What's there to have them do? They already solved their mystery and Rust found the Light.

cutting off the rotten audience score just enough where the bait can be formed

You little shit, I see what you're doing.

Are you talking about True Detective season 2, or are you talking about Captain Marvel?

a few lines of dialogue doesnt redeem the rest of that garbage.

Nic needs to confirm that the gate to Carcosa was Maggie's asshole

Not need to imagine, it's a fact

there is no reason to make it a franchise if its whatever disjointed thing no connections between seasons. being charitable , here.

Rust should've been part of the cult and Errol should've killed them both and dumped them into the swamp for them to become forgotten croc food.

Can you still be friends with the guy who fucked your wife?

the only enjoyment i had with season 2 was to pay attention, wait and see if it was any good compairing to season 1, and it wasnt. no relation . no.. it was a cop show. supernatural shit stinks ghosts arent real like any gods but i thought season 1 navigated those things really interestingly, and made room for effects to be had and shit. what arethey at now season 7? i bet if they do one with the original duo it will be some sort of oddly tarded NOSTALGIA at the success they had, which is not the way to go for tthe non retard viewer which are scasrce so who cares right

Close. But it's more like

spend 7 years writing a supernatural-lite detective story

hire up and coming visionary director to execute it with you

praised across the board for acting, writing and direction

do 2nd season

spend far less time on writing

studio immediately renegs on letting you do a period piece

update story to modern times without actually doing any rewrites

destroy taylor kitsch's career

fire talented director from season 1

hire... the aquaman director to do half the episodes

left with something that is vaguely artistic and has interesting elements, but is just a botch job that nobody could enjoy with ease

do 3rd season

expectations have been lowered significantly

writer spends even less time working on new scripts

starts to rehash favourite plot points from season 1 in a bid to win viewers over

abandon the notion of casting a-listers

literally who directors again

do 4th season

still cant catch lightning in a bottle again

this time fire the head writer since firing actors and directors didnt work

suddenly have nothing

uhhh....

hire chick with a romcom script

rewrite title page and tell her this is true detective script now

go back to hiring a-lister (singular)

partner them with a woman that has zero acting credentials

use billie eilish as the theme song for the season

not a single fan of the original series is interested anymore

oh yeah jodie foster was briddy gud is the top praise you can get even though there were roughly 15 other central cast members

It has been an unmitigated disaster of executive decisions it seems. Zero long term creative vision for the show along with a constant abandonment of the key principles that made it good to begin with.

better than S2 and S3

So do people bitch about Night Country because the detectives are women, or is the quality actually bad? Because Jodie Foster is a good actress.

Season 3 had the pedos use Trudeau's NGO slogan "Live, laugh, learn" or something like that.
Mfw when you are a leaf and your country is going to hell and you are shown this shit on TV.
You all remember this?

Having a single good actor doesn't redeem everything else being shit.

Velcoro, let me tell you a little something about frankposting. See, it's not for everyone. It's a very sophisticated and nuanced meme that requires you to engage with it on an intellectual level. Kind of like dancing with an ugly girl... at the prom. You're suited up, hair's combed, clean shaven. A million bucks. But there's this, this, absolute... creature... holding your hand. Yeah, its wearing a dress and yeah someone slapped some lipstick on it, but its fat, and its sweaty and its stomping up and down the dance floor breaking toes. But you two continue to do this little dance, right. Back and forth. The hokey fuckin' pokey. And you both know it's a joke... you know it's not real. It's... Beauty and the Beast. A mere fairytale you tell to children. But that's the thing when you frankpost, don't you see? There is no fairytale ending. And I may be a married man, but Ray... I don't have any fuckin' kids.

in season 3 you forgot how they retardedly leaked the villain by episode 3 with a bts set photo and how the ending is just pizzalatte trying to get back at fans for wanting more supernatural political conspiracy

I would have taken one idea from the S4 script (inuit janitors worship a dinosaur skeleton frozen in permafrost and murder scientists who disturb it), scrap everything else, cast only inuit babes in those roles (Cara Gee, Maika Harper), make the main duo either Jodie Foster and Cara Gee (rewritten as likeable and interesting characters, of course) or Jodie Foster and Christopher Eccleston.

there isn't even a murder in S3. they could have immediately solved "the case" by interviewing the last person seen with them keedz, a one-eyed, one-armed black man. they don't bother until 30 years later when he just immediately gives them a massive info dump.
It was trash.

I honestly keep forgetting Eccleston was in it. I think because I keep mixing it up with Fortitude due to the setting and the fact that Eccleston is in that and plays almost the exact same role. Not to mention Fortitude is a far superior series even if it goes batshit off the rails towards the end.

Never heard of it, but I love Eccleston. Worth watching?

She raped Rust, to be fair

Jodie hard carries the season and it's actually a pretty great role because of her.
However, the story and the execution overall is BAD. It's not only very misaligned with the rest of the series, it's just a narrative mess that pulls the same tricks as season 3 with long info dumps at critical story junctures to keep everything chugging along.
Originally it was a romance script totally unaffiliated with the IP but for whatever reason HBO forced the showrunner to turn it into a True Detective story despite her openly saying she had never watched the show.
So there's a lot of shoehorned moments that feel tonally off track due to the fact that they were never built for purpose.

I really enjoyed it. It's got a huge cast of famous UK actors as well as Dennis Quaid. The series suffers hugely from a lack of planning, but the setting is comfy, the acting is consistent to great. The weird blend of Irish and Nordic cultures is also cool. It is certainly underrated and at least worth checking out even if you don't finish all 3 seasons.

Season 1 is kinda what Night Country wanted to be. Season 2 and 3 take the series in a different direction where they quite happily lean into the supernatural stuff as opposed to keeping it grounded like True Detective or maybe even X-Files.

Some cast members

Richard Dormer

Michael Gambon

Dennis Quaid

Christopher Eccleston

Sienna Guillory

Robert Sheehan

Stanley Tucci

Ken Stott

Maybe a few other notables that I'm missing who you would recognise like Darren Boyd etc...

did we ever learn who the true detective was? was it woody?

Oh, so a sequel to a pseudo-intellectual story without one of the most mind-blowing bombshell beauty nude scenes in history to bolster its popularity. Should be good.

As much as I would love this I think it's best to just leave season 1 as the standalone masterpiece it is. A second run with them won't be able to top it and is very unlikely to even match it

i haven't watched past S2, but i thought the series started leaning more into the supernatural? which is the opposite of what made S1 so good. S1 you were unsure if you were seeing something otherworldly or it was Rust having residual hallucinations

Wont be the same without the director hirosima or somthing

It completely left anything supernatural until the latest season

The info dump by the old house negro managed to be way worse than marty figuring out the spaghetti monster face paint.
The only parts of season 3 that managed to put me into the season 1 mindset was the interrogation scene with the indian guy and dorf and ali killing that spook that worked for the rich guy in the middle of the woods.

usa is not going to hell? hmm. yea: thats a cool reminder to cut out more usa stuff. especially regarding tv and movies . was not missing much for a long time anyway!

The S2 cast was much more prestigious at the time than S1's. Remember that it was considered a comeback for McConaughey and Harrelson?

One shit hole at a time.
Hell is big enough for all of our countries.

Eh, I wouldn't' say they were "more" prestigious, but there was more of them. True Detective season 1 along with House of Cards really kickstarted the "movie actors but on tv" era

spaghetti monster face paint

It was scar tissue not paint. His face was green at the time though.

anon, the little girl that got chased by him through the wood called him spaghetti monster cause she didn't know it was burn scarring

Pizzaman was definitely in the threads and got assblasted that the green headphones thing was picked after like episode 2. The green man reveal absolutely reeeeeked of reshoots and reedits.

le movie critics

lol.

come on it wasnt nearly as good. I liked it, especially Vince Vaughn, but the story was like a cartoon.
