HBO is completely lost. Their entire lineup is just woke garbage and lefty talk shows like Bill Mahr and John Oliver.

Funny story, I walked in on my mom watching episode 1 of the Last of Us. I warned her it was full of gay shit but left her to it. She fell asleep but woke up 2 episodes later to wake up in the middle of what she described as graphic gay porn. Only after this did she agree to let me cancel the subscription.

Saw the poster and I instantly dismissed it as girlboss bullshittery, I assume it's not even that good?

Don't forget that women are very quick to fall into the delusion of typical-minded fallacy when it comes to romance, and is part of the reason the entire 'girlboss' stereotype exists to begin with - because they find domineering assholes extremely attractive, and assume the reverse works for men.

Hah, no.

The worst are the ones with borderline personality who start fights and drama constantly all the time because in their crazy little heads strife and conflict are inextricably co-mingled with love and affection and no matter what you do and how much you appease her you’ll never really have a moment’s peace and before you know it you’ll spend years walking on eggshells, going from one ridiculous fight about nothing to another because you forgot what normal is like after the first 2 years of this bullshit. Stay single boys.

It looks like they are invoking the "'indigenous women are constantly being killed by white men and white society turns a blind eye" trope which is laughable because its other "indigenous" people doing the killing and their own people doing the investigating. Add in the girlboss aspect and this sounds like a disaster. I laughed that Nic Pizzalato specified "True Detective S1-3 (NOT Night Country)" in his instagram bio.

Like stop Asian hate, mainstream media quickly dropped stop killing native American women when people took a second to find out who's doing the killings.

Absolutely. Probably my favorite season of television ever.

It wasn't perfect, but it was decent.

Anything worth watching after season 1? I binged it, thought it was great (love that intro music too), but when I started season 2 I lasted less than an episode before I bailed. I just wasn't ready to move on from season 1.

Was there even any question? The second one was basically about the coming out process of a closeted gay guy. The third one was about a senile black detective with exceptionally bad haircuts. And that's the only thing I remember about the third season.

The depiction of polar night was unrealistic as usual.

They showed the last sunset at ~68.5°N on December 17 with the sun dropping down vertically, quickly followed by darkness. That only happens in the tropics. In the Arctic, the sun rises and sets at shallow angles with long twilight before and after.

Also, at 68.5°N polar night begins in early December. There was a comment in the show about it only being the first week of darkness and things already going crazy. Well if the polar night started on December 17 it would last for about ten days so the first week of 1.5 isn't saying much.

Around noon there's also civil twilight for about five hours at that latitude which means that it's light out but the sun is not visible, it's just below the horizon. The show went for pitch black darkness 24/7, that only happens close to the poles at latitudes ~80° and up. It may fool people in the lower 48 but Alaskans are having a laugh.

Thanks. I had a feeling that would happen considering the times we live in. Girl power stuff?

I wrote this off immediately. There are very few cases where someone has played necromancer with a franchise, and it has turned out to be good. It was clear this wouldn't be one of those times. The first three seasons were good, though.

It was on a sharp decline after season 1. Season 1 was great, I barely made it through season 2. After that I stopped caring.
