True Detective (2014)
Season 4 insults you for being a fan of the show
Season one is great full stop, if you havent seen it watch it. It was always going to be close to impossible to follow it up but people can still find some of that magic in seasons two and three. Depending on who you ask theyll tell you to skip one or the other.
Season four lodged itself in the middle of a culture war and could give ___ all about the previous seasons. It jingles some spooky keys in your face so you dont think about anything thats actually happening because it all starts to fall apart.
It was not pitched to be a part of True Detective, but some big brain at Discovery HBO Max TM decided that slapping the name on it would be good but it just makes everything else worse.
You should have a home run with a great setting and Jodie Foster as the lead, instead you get some of the laziest writing in prestige tv. It even mocks season one by shoehorning, time is a flat circle, into a plot where it is not even relevant.
Its not even bad in a way that makes it enjoyable, its just kinda sad. In no way is this review an attack on anyones person, its just a bad show.

What happened between seasons?
Season one is a fun show with freaky monsters and mystery. You get some creature feature episodes and slowly learn about whos behind the demonic attacks on this once quiet town.
Season two is insane and makes no sense. Everyone suddenly gets jedi powers with their coins, sometimes they dont even need a coin theyre just psychic now. What was once about a small town under demonic siege is now about one womans fight against an international/inter-dimensional conspiracy. There are multiple government agencies full of forgettable faces in suits who might be working together or against each other, it gets hard to tell. Apart from the arguably useless scenes in hell we dont get any of the unique monsters that made season one fun. Its just psychic fights between rich priests or gun fights with regular humans.
The actors and visual effects teams are all far better than the stupid plot they were given. Visually appealing, but if you try to think about anything for more than 1 minute youll just get more questions.
