i've been really enjoying it, and like the creepy tone and pacing. I shoudn't have been, but I was kind of surprised that it's getting a lot of hate. It's really leaning into the supernatural, which the other seasons hinted at or left ambiguous, so I can get being put off by that, I guess. But people are also trashing it because Jody Foster plays an asshole cop, or they have a problem with Navarro. All the cops in the show in every season are kind of jerks. I guess since the main cops in this season are female a lot of people can't self-insert themselves into the "bad-ass cop who takes no shit and fucks a lot" characters and don't enjoy it as much? A lot of the complaints seem wierd and nitpicky to me.
Jody foster is playing female McNulty and everybody loved McNulty.
I've never watched an episode of True Detective cause I assumed it was true crime shit. But we fot cosmic horror and Jody Foster being McNulty? Imma download this rn
The first season is lightning in a bottle, but the others are good too. They all involve crime against children FYI, lots of grim stuff
I was the same but watched it randomly at one point. It really shows how shitty cops are while still having them as the protagonist
Yeah I've seen people complain about Navarro's introduction trying "too hard" to make her badass by making her "too good" at fighting, having her fuck a lot and give no fucks.
Meanwhile Rust in season 1 was an undercover biker with insane combat skills and he fucked a lot and took no fucks, but that was fine because it made sense for the character or was realistic or whatever lol
Kali Ries is a professional boxer, lol.
Yeah it's silly lol, especially because every season has had a "badass fighter" detective and no one batted an eye, but suddenly the actor is an actual badass fighter and it's an issue
They always do that. A 150lb woman can't 1v1 a 200lb guy because it's not realistic. But then a 170lb guy can 1v1 a 250lb guy because of the male bone structure and skull shape and hip ratio or some other caliper-brained shit.
But they very clearly don't make Navarro out to be "average". She's buff, she's mean and she's been working in a male dominated environment for years where she has had to solve shit with physical force.
A later episode shows she shirks away from a guy she previously beat up, because he is now sober and with a friend. Her martial prowess is very realistically portrayed. They more or less did it as a David v Goliath thing. She knocks down a huge dude because he's drunk and he doesn't see it coming
