the supernatural bent does seem a bit more overt than even s1.
but i dont mind it. although i do think it would be better as just a standalone series.
which makes all of the connections to s1 wild

My theory is some ancient hallucinogenic/zombifying microbes they discovered have infected the town for a while

The miners dug it up and it’s getting in the water supply

also likely some problematic twisting/mystifying of native religion

Nah, you will definitely be doing the riding but if that's ya thing

I’m afraid this season does NOT have the juice

These szn 1 connections.. if it doesn’t tie it up nicely then it’s downright lazy fan service bullshit and disrespectful to one of the greatest seasons of television

everything about this is dogshit im afraid

Sounds like an X-Files episode

There are parts that I like but I feel this. TD feels like a generic cable mystery show without Nick Pizza's hacky autist writing we all have a love/hate relationship with. Like that's what makes even the other seasons unique too. The callbacks to S1 in this made me wanna vomit bc it was so obviously HBO shoehorning so idiots can be like "they said Tuttle omgz!!"

Also idr who plays Navarro but she just forgot to show up to both of these episodes lol. Zero effort or emotion

I thought this was an improvement on the first episode but it’s still just ok.

The writing isn’t great but I’m intrigued by the mystery. Jodie Foster is giving a strong performance but her character is falling a bit short. Navarro is entirely unreasonable.

Also f*** those AI posters, what the f*** was that??

I actually kinda like this show. Main gripe is there is too many uninteresting sideplots, I just want to see the investigation tbh

Can’t quite get into this yet , this is the first Jodie s***scene I think I’ve seen pretty funny

This aint true detective…

Fam this was driving me crazy.

What connections we talking about

It's legit just gonna be some "the swastika was a Buddhist symbol first" type s***

Using dogshit nowadays is a clear callout to not having any original thoughts or critiques on a topic. You can do better!

the spiral, the dead guy Travis is Rust’s dad, and Tuttle Industries which funds the science station is the same name as the family that ran the cults in s1

Jesus Christ. I missed every one of these lmao.

It's all connected

I feel like the guy they got to play Travis is way too young.

Fargo szn 5 was a banger

Imagine if season 2 would’ve been Rust coming to the arctic to investigate this s***

He should be showing up soon ngl

They’re pretty lowkey and inconsequential so far. Hope it stays that way tbh
