We're doing that whole, "30 days of night" theme in this season and so far it's working to create a real atmospheric series. I skipped season's 3 & 4. This isn't quite season 1, but i have no complaints so far.

I’m undecided on this season so far. Kinda intriguing and I like the characters at this point, but I kind of feel like they’re leaning on Season 1 too much as a crutch. I guess I will be interested to see how they tie it together, but the symbolism seems too in your face so far to me. And if I remember right, I don’t think writer or director are the same…Nick Pozz-whatever is not involved? |

The Jodie Foster sex kitten thing is kind of weird
I like the mystery but it feels kind of Steven King cable adaptation ish Hoping it improves |

There are only 6 episodes and we’re through 2. It’s been a little slow going thus far but obviously high quality production and acting. The reviews are excellent so I have to think the pace is gonna pick up shortly and it’ll be humming on Sunday when we watch it completely hammered post-AFCCG victory and don’t even remember it.

I hadn't really watched True Detective since S1. I tried an episode or 2 of season 2 I think.
I like the remote, isolated dark setting. I was a bit surprised how heavy it was on the supernatural. You get the sense they're going to "figure" that out. I've enjoyed it through two episodes. I didn't realize it was 6 episodes. That's awesome, I think most shows do better with less episodes. |

I think so, too. There are a lot of series that are scheduled for 10 episodes (give or take) and it often seems like an episode or two are 'filler'. As if the writers have a story that is easily and completely told in 4 or 5 episodes, but they are contracted for more, so they meander down a non-important side story. It could be called character development, but more often than not that development doesn't add to the story.

I liked it. I didn't think it was as good as some of the reviews, but I thought it was a decent enough watch. One thing it did do was hook me pretty hard. I couldn't quit the shit, regardless of what I thought of it. |

S1 was perfect so felt initially like S2 fell short but I do remember enjoying the dark, seedy atmosphere they created |

I got a 'free' Disney+ subscription through Spectrum and decided to watch the Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials. Part of the way through the Capaldi era, I started to lose interest as the show started to move in a direction that I didn't enjoy. The Whitaker era continued this trend and with Tennant back to reprise the Doctor, I thought I would give it a try.
Well, I didn't think it was as bad as many said however... It wasn't good. I get it; some people don't feel their gender is correct. I get The Message; men bad, women good. Always check with someone before using certain pronouns. Disappointed that another one of the shows that I liked is gone. What is Disney going to do with Deadpool? |

Sorry, I wasn't clear there. I was talking about the latest season. I only watched a couple eps from season 2 forever ago and never tried S3. I've enjoyed the new season with Jodie Foster so far
