    True Detective Season Four

    Outstanding. Issa López made a worthy successor to the first season.

    I thought it was absolute shit.

    The problem is that all later seasons have been compared to S1. While S1 is still the gold standard, the other seasons have also had their strengths, including S4.

    But then, it was featuring a culture other than european-white-men.
    In fact - some (paranoid-delusionals) - might consider it was pushing a culture other than WMA.
    So yeah - probably not your cup of tea.

    I didn't find angry women with firearms forcing unarmed nerds outside particularly farfetched. It's not Wuthering Heights.

    Yeah - I just finished watching the final episode... there were a couple of moments I thought "hmmm... not quite plausible" - but that wasn't one of them.

    True Detective: Insomnia edition

    • from the start, got a little bit worried that it was going to be full-blown "Eskimo-woke" (for those who don't understand the meanings of either the words "Eskimo" or "woke")
    • from the start, got a little worried that the setting would mean very low tit-watch
    • from the start, got a little bit worried that the relationship between all the main antagonists was going to be a little bit predictable
    • from "Just Now" - realised that all the main antagonists were female! had vaginas! Shit - actually didn't click to that until just now, and how that might trigger certain others. I only thought about it when thinking about how predictable their interactions were going to be. Fuck - is that even more sexist than the drongos who probably dismissed this series because of the lack of cocks? Fuck.. I need to go re-evaluate myself.
    • Sorry - that last paragraph was literally drunken-brain-dump-as-I-thought-of-it
    • Anyway - always suspected (spoiler alert) - that they'd try to step back from the supernatural side as it got to the end, while leaving an element of "ooohhh... perhaps...?" in the background. Which... yeah, duh - but... they did kinda overplay the scooby-doo shit early on.

    4.5 one-eyed-polar-bears out of 5 should-have-been-arctic-circle-tittie-bar-scenes.
    Tit-watch: zero. And I understand that shit... that was some cold-ass context.

    3 episodes in and I can't quite make up my mind up. The Inuit side of things I actually quite like and adds a lot to the acting and atmosphere, but I hope it improves - bit underwhelming at times

    Oh yes

    Good grief. Can they really keep milking this show and make it interesting? Started out amazing but I’m fairly sure I gave up when the hundreds of bullets aimed at Negan all miraculously missed just so he’d be around to be the bad guy for yet another season.

    I gave up when I couldn't distinguish the plot from one season to another.
