We found it immediately creepy and eerie! The very first three scenes are creepy with strong supernatural overtones. It goes on to have creepy/eerie events.
Alas, due to the graphic sex scene, we won’t be watching with our 17 year olds.
It’s the supernatural overtones that caught me off guard. It’s not that they are bad, but I wasn’t expecting that from True Detective. What I liked about the show was that it didn’t go supernatural or surrealistic. It was very much grounded in reality, even when the detective had dementia. I loved Nic Pizzolato and his vision. seeing his shoe felt like talking to a soulmate.
I didn’t know beforehand that he wasn’t working on this season. I noticed immediately that it didn’t feel like him and was very disappointed, but not surprised to see there was a different show runner. She’s also good, very but it wasn’t what I wanted from True Detective. I wish they’d just given the show a different name, kinda like Mare of Eastown. I’ll still be watching, but I was sad to get hyped up for Nic and end up with something completely different.
