Anyone looking forward to this? FWIW, outside of Breaking Bad, nothing will ever top the first season of TD. I couldn't get into season 2, but 3 was decent enough. That first one though just had IT. Great characters and storyline.
True Detective Night Country

- Start date
Agreed. Watched first season nearly non-stop this past Saturday night and Sunday. Really enjoyed the series. Very impressed with both actors.
Agree. The 1st Season of TD has to be one the Top Season Series. Watched 1st Episode of Season 4 last night and really enjoyed it. I have always liked Shows set in the Extreme North with extended darkness of winter.
The first episode was fantastic. I’m already hooked.
TD season 1 makes a case for the best single season of any show, ever.
Can't wait for this, but don't have HBO Max. Contemplating getting it for a few months for TD s4 and then binging everything else it has.

First ep was alright. Intrigued by the mystery, obviously, but there are some silly elements that are overwrought.
So far so good. Delving into the supernatural aspect like season 1 had. I wish it would've stuck with the disappearance the whole time though. It had some pointless scenes that added nothing to the story. This still looks like it's going to be good, though. I'm in.
Indeed. Jodie Foster adds another element to the "good guys".
Fun fact: Series filmed in Iceland.
Lol Bjork. I still haven't figured out who's worse. Her or Yoko Ono.
Season 1 was great MM and WH. WH’s character was a fascinating, evolving hypocrite to the max
I really liked S1 and it's a top 5 or 6 show of all time for me, but I was a bit disappointed they backed away from making a truly transcendental show that fully embraced the weirdness and instead opted for the best "cop buddy duo" show with an inbred white dude as the big bad. (I get there was a larger conspiracy.)

One of my friends has been there twice. He's an excellent amateur photographer and the photos he's taken there are stunning. It's on our list of places to see in the next few years.
-bjork is/was sexy af, imo.
-music wise: Sugarcubes were good... her solo stuff is hit or miss for me.

That's why I said it was on our list of places to see...A fine place to visit, sure. But I refer you to my previous post, sir!
I just subscribed to HBO Max. Should I watch seasons 1-3 before watching TD Night Country?
I’ve been an avid detective story fan all of my life and the TD series made me sign up with HBO to see it. Also, I like Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. I hope they find out that they’re brothers.
You don't have to. Season 1 is some of the best TV ever made. Be prepared to want to binge it.
Did I see the same spiral tattoo from season 1 on the murdered girl in S4 premier ?
Plus the overhead shot where Danvers is putting together the pics of the missing it was a spiral. Hmm
Now having binged Season 1, I have to agree. McConaughey and Harrelson are the two best actors of our time and they made this series spellbinding.
“What’s scented meat?” is just one of the lines that made me laugh out loud.
How about Seasons 2 and 3?

S2 and S3 aren't as good but are both solid. S2 gets a worse rap than it deserves b/c it followed and is measured against S1. The plot gets a little convoluted. FWIW, I think S2's theme song was far better than S1's, which didn't really jive with the content.
Grading them on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest, I'd say:
S1- 9.5
S2- 6.5
S3- 7.5

I only got to 3 episodes in S2. It had a tough act to follow indeed. S3 was better than I thought it would be. Some good stuff in there. I'm curious how S4 is gonna be tied to S1. Some easter eggs throughout the first episode.
The evolution of Rust Chole was something. Some of the best acting I've seen.
4 is gonna have ties to 1? Well, I would assume it deals with Rust then, no? He said he was raised in Alaska and when he went undercover when taking time off to find Ginger he told everyone he was going to Alaska.
Anyway, watched the 1st episode. Kinda feels different but Nic Pizzolatto also isn't writer/director on this one
Also- in season 1 the robbery scene in the projects when Rust is undercover with the bikers is so cool bc the whole scene is shot with one camera that never cuts
You guys have failed to mention the best part of season one. HINT: Woody Harrelson is in it, but he’s not the point of emphasis
I forgot about that. I was eluding to the spirals that maybe it has some connection to the yellow king. S4 does have a different feel but there was enough creepiness to keep me interested.
Some nuggets and easter eggs from episode 1.
Thanks for link about Easter Eggs. I decided to binge watch Season 1 again, man forgot just how great that Season was!
S1 E3.....Love the church scene under the tent where Marty and Rust argue about religion. Marty arguing on behalf of religion, while Rust adamantly against religion.
Interestingly MM religious in real life...WH is not.

That's the crazy thing about actors. They have an incredible ability to pretend.
Some good info for sure, but also some rank speculation.
I really wanted to punch the presenter in the face due to his annoying delivery. His stupid little dog looked dumb too, and its fake voice somehow managed to be even more annoying than the presenter.
I’m on S2E3. Man, S2 is depressing. Negativity everywhere. I might abandon it and jump to S3 if things don’t lighten up soon. Definitely no Woody Harrelson-types in S2.
