True Detective
Discussion
2 episodes in and I'd have Danvers and Prior as the central partnership all the way through although there is the Navarro/Danvers back story and friction to develop and resolve.
TD has never been super natural that I can remember so not sure where they're going at all. Surely not a direct lift from Fortitude?

My opinion is that the supernatural element is a red herring. They are interweaving Indian traditions of spirits into the story to obfuscate the viewer, from some the real crime and motive.
Also the deaths are very much a parallel to the Dyatlov Pass Incident.

Season 1 is the best TV ever made imo.
Season 4, the potential supernatural element.
There's been a good few hints that it's something to do with the water supply, halucinations most likely caused by something from the mine
Enjoying it so far anyway.
Good shout.Season 4, the potential supernatural element.

Made much more obvious now with the still births and s
tty water coming out the taps. Hoping the hallucination theory is correct as otherwise that bit in the hospital was stupid.Legend83 said:

My immediate thoughts: Another filler episode, even more so than the last one.
With 2 episodes remaining, we're no closer to resolving what happeed to the scientists or even Annie. The focus seemed mainly on a background character of the show and her eventual fate. The darkness and dirty water are red herrings IMO - the latter no doubt causing abnormal birth rates in babies. However the real killer here possibly are the hallucinations and evoking memories of deep personal trauma and using recollections that blur the lines of dreams, nightmares, past and present reality.
Would be an intersting plot device.

Still haven't watched S1.
I'm finding S4 hard work so far. It doesn't have much or any momentum. After investing all that time not much has been thrown at the audience to keep us satisfied or engaged.
Since it's over halfway through that's not too promising for the rest.
Loads of critics went bonkers for it before launch. I'm still waiting to find out why.

We started watching True Detective last week, finished episode 2 of season 3 last night. The wife thinks it's brilliant while I think it's twice as long as it needs to be, you could definitely tell the stories of each season in 4 episodes. I'm going to give up on it and take myself off to watch some paint dry.
