Really f ked up stuff.
Honestly, I can’t even remember how last season, ‘True Detective: Night Country’ ended.
I believe it had to do with ice ghosts.
But based on what I’m hearing, I’m confident Season 5 will be different.
Show runner Issa Lopez has a good head on her shoulders.
You remember what they taught you at Mexico National University Film School.
You get yourself a big name actor, and make that actor do some really fucked up stuff.
Really fucked up stuff is what people want to see.
Long drawn out scenes of graphic sexual abuse and domestic violence.
Realistic shots of intravenous drug use.
Innocent animals being harmed.
Child sacrifices to ominous unseen deities.
Gratuitous blood and guts.
We still have no idea what Season 5 will be about.
Although Lopez did pull back the curtain a bit.
Earth but with ghosts.
I suppose looking back I didn’t dislike the show from start to finish.
But the finale gave us nothing.
I felt zero satisfaction upon the completion of True Detective’s snow season.
I did enjoy season 3 with Mahershala Ali.
But I know I was fairly satisfied coming away from it.
If that’s the case, then we should have high hopes for Season 5.
