It’s a little Mare of Easttown. I still enjoy the trope though since when it’s done well it works.

That first episode was great. Jodie Foster is killing it.

Yup, Foster is a major draw for this season of True Detective. She picks her roles well. Maybe the worst I've seen her in was that Matt Damon flick in space but it was like....South Africa in space?? Whatever, Jodie Foster is legit. Can't wait to see where this goes.

She is also doing a fantastic job at carrying the other actors around her.
I agree Elysium was bad. It borrowed so much from District 9, but in a tired way.

Serious call backs to s01 in this season. Almost to a point of continuation.
After ep.2 I am convinced this is going to be as good as season 1. I'm hooked.

The only drawback is that I'm likely going to have to rewatch season 1 for any of this to make sense. I also had a tough time following the relationships between the characters, which is crucial to the plot. I had a tough time following who was related to/sleeping with who.
Great show. But definitely not something you can casually step into.

By chance, I rewatched season 1 leading up to season 4 - glad I did.

Still not like the supernatural bend. A little too X-File-ish.

All the season 1 links went completely over my head.
That was 10 years ago, and I didn't understand it then.

Season 1 did the same thing, but then had a pretty rational explanation for everything. I think we're getting a lot of point of view accounts from people with mental health issues who are in a pretty paranoia inducing atmosphere. I wouldn't conclude there's anything that can't be explained away going on.

The whole 24 hour darkness thing is really disorienting as well (which is obviously the point). When the trooper walked into the bar and the server asked if she wanted some lunch, it hurt my head.

I had the same experience in Iceland with the near 24 hour daylight. I was sort of like, we could avoid a bunch of the tourist crowds if we did our sightseeing at 3AM.

The rational explanation of the ghost of Travis is probably that she actually saw Rust, and he was responsible for everything. They kind of looked similar.

Or that she didn't see a ghost at all and is a bit crazy. Rose is a pretty suspect narrator.

She looks a lot like Rust too (The 2012 Lonestar Rust anyway). But again, another unclear relationship status. Only the Travis/Rust relationship is established- is Rose actually Rust's mother?

These interwoven relationships also had me thinking, especially when considering that Danver’s lost a child is it possible that:

Either way, I'm hooked and can't wait to see how this all unravels.
