I’ve started watching Monsieur Spade on AMC instead. The acting, the writing, the directing are all so better and what I would expect from a high quality detective.

This isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure.

It's an opinion thread about a tv show. No need to take it, or yourself, that seriously. (Plus, that phrase is quite overused at this point).

It’s comments like yours that make me think PR people have infiltrated this board. The whole point is to discuss opinions. Wanting to stop watching a show is one of them.

Heh I promise PP is not a PR person. Your comments just don't really contribute much. You also don't need to hop on threads about celebrities you don't know, to say you don't know them but you do like these other celebrities.

Speaking of comments that don’t contribute anything, I truly cannot make out a word of the word salad above. Are you on drugs or in an institution?

"Ask the question." Never cared much for JF's body of work.

Navarro seems like the more resourceful cop (was able to find where the Talalal engineer was) and is better at speaking and questioning people where as JF seems completely anxious and flustered when someone doesn’t immediately cede to her authority (how she interacts when children are involved vs when she finds Adam in the nomad camp).

I read there is a connection between the source of the funding of Talal and the source of the private schools in LA during season 1.

Yes, and the spiral symbol as well. The symbol wasn't explained in S1 but something made Anna dream about the symbol enough to get a tattoo. If the show sticks to Eldritch horror theme then some sort of knowledge about the symbol drives you insane.

I thought people were more willing to talk to Navarro because she’s one of them where JF is not. Discrimination.

Could be, or also could be the way she talks to people vs the way Navarro talks to people. JF’s character lacks people skills most of the time, unless there is a young child in the scene (has happened multiple times).

I think that's probably part of it but I don't view it as "discrimination." But fear. The local indigenous population has not been treated well, as it is thus far heavily implied (and we know from real life, that is how it has gone in the US). That coupled with JF having the communication and interpersonal skills of mop.

I'd prefer Navarro, as well.

Wow. I cannot agree at all. I think she is phenomenal and her roles/movies are universally wonderful.

Jodie Foster is going a great job of playing a very unlikeable person (PP was right, not sure why other posters got so worked up about that opinion) and the other cop Evangeline is IMO more likable. Both are great actresses. I had never heard of Kali Reis before this but she’s pretty good.

So one of them executed a guy while on a dv call and I can't guess which one.

Yes, this will be an interesting side plot. Who did it? I would certainly want to it, in their shoes.

I tried too, but I'm afraid you're right. Not only can Kali Reis not act, but Jodi Foster is SO exhausting to watch. Her butch/masculine character is just... tiresome.

DP. Well, that was unnecessary. This is a discussion forum and we're all entitled to our differing opinions. I don't think this show is great either.

WTF? The PP can state any opinion she wants. If you don't like it, just scroll on by.

Yes!! If she says that one more time... so annoying.

Look people, I’ve already solved the case. The scientists unearthed an ancient bacteria that has hallucinating properties. It made the scientists go crazy. The town isn’t actually being poisoned by the mine, it’s the bacteria slowly seeping into the water from something like global warming. The one lady who thinks she saw her dead husband or whatever dancing in the snow and pointing to the dead bodies is probably hallucinating by being exposed to the ancient bacteria unfrozen under the ice. It also explains the swirly symbol. The lady says it had to do with some before the ice. That’s when ancient people were there getting high off the bacteria. Now that it is being unearthed again people are going nuts.


I dunno why JF can’t solve the case already, because I did. Too easy.
