TV: True Detective Season 4 (starring Jodie Foster)
- Thread starter Neutrinos
- Start date
Feels like Silence of the Lambs + Fargo + 30 Days of Night put together.
I can't believe it's been almost a decade since season 1, hopefully this is the season that brings them back to its original quality

Pizzalatto is an average writer at best, even by pulp standards. He could get away with this in season 1 because he was able to successfully rip off better writers like Thomas Ligotti and Cormac McCarthy. Then it was mostly Fukunaga who carried that season anyway. But the conclusion of the case was already pretty lackluster back then. After that season 2 was a hot mess and season 3 was just painfully average and cliché ridden throughout. And now it seems like the big Innovation for the new season are strong female lead characters. Yay. HBO should have let this one die a long time ago...
Seasons 2 and 3 are both good and Pizzalatto isn’t the writer of this season from what I’ve seen.
Season two has some good individual scenes but is terrible as a whole. Season 3 is very average and painfully formulatic. Almost every scene was just flat out copied from a number of other TV police procedurals that aired over the last 30 years. I did not know that Pizzalatto had left the show. Thats probably a good thing as long as the new showrunners don't try too hard to emulate his shtick. I don't see why they don't just try to develop another concept for a new show though if anybody affiliated with the first season has left at this point anyway. I guess they wan't to milk the cow a little further.

from deadline.com:
Jodie Foster, Kali Reis in True Detective: Night Country
We’ll have to wait a bit longer than planned for the premiere of HBO's True Detective: Night Country, starring Jodie Foster and Kali Reis.
A specific premiere date had not previously been announced, but the fourth installment of HBO’s crime anthology series was included in Max’s 2023 programming sizzle reel as one of its upcoming originals set to premiere this year. The premiere window is now listed as 2024 on the show’s website and HBO confirmed it’s set to premiere in January. The exact reason for the delay is not known, but several TV shows and films have been pushed due to the ongoing writers and actors strikes.
In Night Country, when the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the eight men who operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) must confront their pasts and the dark truths lying underneath the Arctic ice.
John Hawkes, Christopher Eccleston, Fiona Shaw, Finn Bennett, Anna Lambe, Aka Niviâna, Isabella Star Lablanc, and Joel D. Montgrand also star.

It will be interesting to see where it goes, but stuff I didn't like was the distracting CGI, the soundtrack that insisted upon itself and some of the ChatGPT dialogue.

Story seems like it will be interesting, the CGI on the polar bear and elk (?) was awful.
Jodie Foster was fantastic though. I'm in.

First episode was alright, felt more like a supernatural horror though. This show has really struggled with tone post season one.

I liked it.
Jodie Foster’s kind of butchy chief is against type and the aggressive vet partner is pretty tough too but in believable ways.
They have to manage the vision and supernatural elements properly and not let them take over the procedural police work.
Hopefully it won’t end in some crude message about environmentalism.

I thought season 3 was fantastic and didn't struggle at all. Maybe I need to re-watch it because I keep reading a lot of negative comments about it (not from you, just in general).
Ya, I liked it. I'm going to give it a run before I decide if it stinks. I have read a lot of comments on Reddit and Twitter about people hating the anti-white theme. I think because of what that girl said, "I can't believe I fell for a white boy." I don't know why that bothered people so much; it takes place in a large indigenous community, so it felt pretty fine to me. I was more like, WTF, why is she jerking this guy off with that little kid right there? But hey, that's just me. I dig the night theme a lot, and I hope the CGI is toned down. I don't know how I feel about the supernatural element, but I will let it play out.
