I was letting this play out and based on comments maybe blast through the episodes
Now I’m thinking, ‘I’m glad I watched season 1 instead’
Still epic (for ref, I didn’t hate 2. It was disappointing overall though. 3 I gave up during the second episode).
I had heard it was deliberately ambiguous in places. I’m all for mysteries and threads left unsolved. But this sounding like they just didn’t bother wrapping up all the story for the sake of ‘reasons’ or writes themselves off the map and couldn’t get back (lost like)
Might go watch Ted instead

Maybe they would have lost the rights to the IP if they didn't churn out this season or something.

Seems like a shitshow of a finale. Wife likes it so gonna watch it later tonight. Season 3 was better than this pile.

I love that they just throw in a character that says "Time is a flat circle" 
What a colossal piece of shit. Women really need to keep the fuck away from projects and material that were originally helmed by men.

Season 3 looks like Macbeth in comparison to this
I dont know if Season 2 was worse than this. Have to rewatch that turd someday.
Watch this season only if you are really, really, curious.

Wasn’t able to watch last night but like many of you I’m not really feeling this season. I’ll probably finish because I’ve already gotten this far but yeah, this is it the grand return I anticipated for the series.
On the other hand I binge rewatched season 4 of succession over the weekend and that is still holding up reaaaally well

Omg I hated this season.
Everyone female is a piece of shit.
How do you do that?

It’s terrible.
The supernatural stuff is lightly explained though; pretty straightforward “the dead are still around and can contact you” shit. Hence ghost Navarro at the end who probably went off and died in the water / ice since she never stopped being “called to it” (we can assume by her mother I’d think just like her sister was.)
The j-horror hallucinations not really explained though.
So much dumb shit in this show though. Just stuff thrown in to make things seem connected that aren’t (like Annie folding her clothes.)

I still don’t understand the spiral.. was it just a red herring? I was expecting ties to the cult in season 1

I basically "watched" this season by lurking this thread.
Bummed that it doesn't seem worth watching, but I salute the service of you fine people who let me know.

If I may get your opinion? I watched Fargo Season 1 recently, and was wondering which season to watch next, since I likely won't watch them all. Which season 2-5 would you recommend? Or do I have to watch them in order to get the most out of it?

That final reveal scene, holy shit I was fucking dying of cringe, it seemed so dumb and unnatural and made no fucking sense. I care so little about this trash I won't even bother to properly shit on it, thankfully I'll have forgotten it in a month.
Remember though folks, trust the critics, they definitely didn't review the show this way because of the female leads and the female brainlet that wrote this trash

Season 2 was a goddamn masterpiece compared to this, you can't be fucking serious. Not only the characters were vastly deeper and more interesting but the plot cannot even be compared with this absolute nonsense. WTF, you need to watch season 2 again

I never put much stock in critics, but this one has to be either a payoff or critics are so invested in pushing an agenda, that they'll let anything slide.That final reveal scene, holy shit I was fucking dying of cringe, it seemed so dumb and unnatural and made no fucking sense.

I'll give it props for the setting and cinematography in parts, and as much as her character sucked, Jodie Foster nailed the piece of shit material she had to work with.
The rest is just nonsense. It's such a poser version of the seasons - especially 1 - that came before it. Even season 2 looks like Bergman in comparison.

Please spill it
The cleaning ladies killed the scientists in one of the dumbest, cringiest scenes in mainstream Hollywood history, and something about ghosts and shit
Only recommend this to people you really hate, it's truly awful and not even funny awful, more like horribly generic/boring awful

Meh. Similar to True Detective, season 1 of Yellowjackets was fantastic but season 2 was a huge letdown.

After thinking about it more, this season is basically the episode of Bob's burgers where Linda puts on a dinner theater show. Linda is a butler or something and as the narrator of the show, tells the audience that the murderer is definitely not her only to find out that it totally was her at the last second with no foreshadowing. The twist on this season just feels cheap. The super natural stuff is just a deus ex machina to move things along. What makes it worse is the acting was actually good. There was a good story there but the writing was just lazy. The "professional" critics giving this high praise are just sniffing their own farts.

True that, I'm glad I didn't waste time on this.
"Reviewers" can go fuck themselves.

Huh? Were those frozen bones/fossils discovered in the pattern of a spiral? How does that make any sense? Were the dinosaurs on their way to Carcosa? Wtf?

So I tried watching the newest Transformers as background noise for an action popcorn flick, and FFS I could NOT make it more than 1/3rd of the way through, even as background noise. Those actors were atrocious, worse than WB level shit and some of a worst I've seen yet. Felt like a phoned in AI version of in a bad timeline.Social media brainlets angry at Nic Pizzolatto for telling the truth about this fucking monstrosity and how that diversity hire completely ruined his show

Hopefully we get a proper 8-episode season 5 one day.
It would be a horrid death rattle if this is the last of True Detective to ever be produced.
