Speaking of Lonesome Dove... with all the remakes over the years and the popularity of 1883 and 1923 I can't believe that this one hasn't been updated.
True Detective Season 4

I would cut anyone dumb enough to try to remake this classic. I’ll bring Sam and Tommy Lee with me!
I agree. Horseshit. Check out the TD reddit for some laughs. They're tearing it to shreds.
I also did not like the end. Spoiler ahead.
Nerd rage and me too mob. The only interesting thing to me was the frozen skeleton in a spiral shape they like to reference in the show.

they've been haters all season and anyone who posts anything positive gets mass downvoted
I thought the finale was fine. It wasn't the best ever but it was far from the worst. It honestly was prob the 2nd best episode of the season. The premise of the season was actually pretty cool, just some of the writing and cuts didn't really make sense.
There were cringe moments, but also some really solid moments. FWIW I think it's better than season 2. Season 2 sucked ass.

Season 2 was complete horseshit.
So rankings wise:
1 - AINEC - nearly the GOAT of short TV series
3 - I would watch Ali read a phone book. And Dorff and McNairy were great. Really surprised how good Dorff was in the role.
4 - Some good moments; a little sloppy.
2 - Disaster. Train wreck. OMG
It's amazing how bad writing and bad storytelling can make solid actors look awful. Surrounding Jodi with amateurs didn't help but just nothing about that season was remotely believable. And the whole she's awake, somethings out there etc... really just was used as a way to not explain anything in the end. It was bad.
I thought Reis was actually very good, just had shit dialogue. She really shined in scenes like the midwife childbirth center. Was hard for her to polish a turd. I thought the direct supporting cast was also good. Both old (Hawkes) and young prior (Bennett) were excellent. Again, writing, they didn't have much to work with.
Started off strong (was interesting) and then faded. They tried to make sense of things but left many holes and things unanswered or didn’t things didn’t make sense… rushed to wrap it up. Not sure if it was laziness or what. Still liked it better than S2 though.
I think they also kind of spun their tires on the same things over and over in episodes 2-4.5. Or they just kind of made things convenient so they were in the right place in the right time.
Critical reviews are saying it was one of the best season finales ever. Am i living in a fantasy land? What in the actual **** lol
To me they should have embraced the supernatural, or left it out. I thought episode 1 was very entertaining. When the woman followed her dead husband's ghost out to the frozen pile bodies, I was like, all right, this is interesting, we got some freaky shit happening. And then there were visions of ghosts, but really they were irrelevant. it was essentially an adaptation of murder on the orient express, with half of the town in on it.
A meh from me. It was at least still more interesting than a network cop drama. Back to 15th rewatch of Station Eleven.
I liked that a lot. I also like the last of us a lot. I guess I'm a sucker that that genre, as I think the first few seasons of TWD were amazing.
Yeah it's straight smack for me. Theatre kid, loved Vonnegut, like sci-fi. They were gunning for me. Book was also great, quite a bit different in ways but same vibe.
I guess I was happy that they kind of explained what happened and it was kind of not linked to the supernatural. But the g/f finding out what happened? Did they have "we are asking the mine to raise pollution" posted on the whiteboard? And literally all of the scientists taking stabs at the girl? And the native women providing vigilante justice and how that went down? All seemed to fit together too perfectly I guess.
The only trouble I had with the vigilante stuff is that it seems impossible for them to all be there, and leave zero traces behind that would provide clues for the cops.
Raising pollution to make scientific research easier.. lol.
Group rage killing someone over ice samples.. i mean come on.
Cleaning ladies with vigilante justice but leaving one guy.
Random tongue placement?
Doesn't care if she kills the witness.. 60 seconds later she gets pissed he's killed.
Some questions don't have answers! Wrong question!
Literally the dumbest shit ive ever seen

Felt like the tongue was supposed to be a nod to the supernatural - everyone acted surprised when it was brought up.
Yeah the group of women not finishing the job with Clark was weird. They left everyone else to die naked in Arctic winter darkness, but didn't loop back to kill Clark a day later?
I thought Hank cut her tongue out as a warning to people to keep their mouths shut. At least, that is what I surmised after finding out he was on the take and moved the body.
Maybe, but doesn’t explain how it ended up at the lab when the new case opened.
I guess I do not recall whether Hank was at the lab before the rest of the cops came to investigate.
I guess if the cops are all hearing voices it makes it harder to spot footprints or tire tracks in snow/ice?
They weren’t all hearing voices at the beginning, and I just mean at the facility itself. No fingerprints, no stray hairs, etc?
I thought it started strong, fell off in the middle, and had a solid finale - which unfortunately had to do alot of work for those middle episodes.
