The end of E3 is where I really checked out, but "rednecks are fighting in the lobby" is the best line of the season.
I was a fan of Fortitude, The Terror, and The Valhalla Murders. Bunch of others I gotta check out but Nordic subtitles are tough cuz I dadnap once it gets to 10pm and when I wake up intermittently it's a bunch of grisly characters going herdy shmerdy gurdy and I have no idea what's going on anymore.
On that note... the highlight of watching the show every week for Mrs. Lau is the Billie Eilish theme song. Song is tight
Season 5 confirmed. :sadtrombone: https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/tr...on-5-hbo-night-country-issa-lopez-1235919500/
I think it was the boyfriend… I didn’t believe his story about how the other scientist killed her. I think he did it all himself. I think the women came for all of them and he was hiding from them not the other scientist. He was scene running around the lab in the first episode where the food truck guy saw him. I bet he put the tongue under the desk This final episode was fucking trash so you got to make these huge leaps to try and get a sane reason for everything
I will end up watching it because outside of maybe like 5 shows a year, everything else on TV is unwatchable for me. I find it at least watchable, but a couple moments made me question that this season
First couple episodes had me pretty intrigued but then everything else just fell flat. So many plot holes wrt investigation and police work. I love that they were able to run a fingerprint from the middle of nowhere to identify that one of the maids was inside the lab.
Why was there even a secret underground ice cave lab in that lab to begin with? Every one of the scientists was working on it, so it's not like they were trying to hide that some side research was going on. It was only there as a dumb plot device that would allow them to see the handprint with the missing finger on the secret hatch. They could have just had stairs leading down to where they were doing the drilling portion of the work. It's one of the dumbest things I've seen in True Detective
Shows like this you don't want to feel like an idiot when points in the story unfold and you say to yourself "this doesn't make any fucking sense, but I'll give them a chance to clear this up" but when the show ends and they toss more fuck shit into and not clear the wtf moments... yeah doesn't matter how good some episodes and moments were its based on a cracked foundation. I have zero interest in watching season 5 if the writer, director is coming back in the same role and it seems like she is.
Anyone else feel like this show went out of it's way to dispell any theories about the Dyaltov Pass incident?
I thought it was using it as a jumping off point, but I haven't gotten too deep into Dyaltov Pass. What were the theories they dispelled?
NY Post - “True Detective” fans can expect plenty of “really f – – ked up stuff” in the series’ upcoming fifth season, showrunner Issa López has exclusively told The Post. “Well, what I can say is there’s going to be -— my God! — there’s going to be some important connections between everything that happens in Ennis, Alaska, and the characters in Ennis, Alaska, and what happens in the new [season],” López revealed, referring to the small town where “Night Country” takes place. López also confirmed that “Night Country” and the upcoming fifth season exist in the same universe as the first three installments of “True Detective.” “It’s very important for me, and I worked a lot in ‘Night Country’ about this, to create the feeling that this is the same universe; that the events that happened in the first season, and the weird s – – t that happens in the first season affects this sensation of, ‘There’s something bigger than us and darker than what we can imagine behind the scenes,'” she explained. “And that is happening in this [next] season too. And it’s it’s connected to the original idea of ‘True Detective,’ of this dark reality behind the scenes of what we think is our reality.” When asked whether it would be fair to say that we can expect some dark, weird things to be happening in the next season, López told The Post, “Absolutely. Very fair. Really f – – ked up stuff.”
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a show to be better than it actually is more than this clusterfuck of a storyline. I’ll watch it and question my decision episodes 3 through the last one
I've lost all hope of this show ever being good again if they're giving Lopez another season. Night Country was terrible.
They’re hoping we’ll all forget how bad season 4 sucked by then. Sadly, I’msure I’ll still watch based on season 1 nostalgia alone.
