[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a good starter episode and we will keep watching.  It doesn't have the immediate creepiness and eerie vibe that the first season of the show had that was so intense.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

I read that this season is based on two separate crime stories, one that remains unsolved. I also read that this season will someone tie into season 1. I already saw what I thought was a familiar tattoo on the crime scene photos of the murdered native woman that reminded me of season 1 (black markings going in a circle). [/quote]
