Do you think it would be bad taste for me to ask for my wedding present
back?

Re: [TV orNotTV] True Detective 4 [Was Quickie Review: Monsieur Spade]

[Tom Wolper]

I started watching it back in January and gave up after a few episodes. I
found that the series is all about creepy vibes and they had no intention
of making a tight, satisfying mystery. When I found I didn’t care who done
it or whether they would figure it out, I bailed. I spent a number of
decades so sensitive to the horror genre that I would immediately turn off
any show or movie that used horror elements. I’ve watched enough movies in
the last couple of years, including some horror movies, that I’ve become
much less sensitive. When horror scenes popped up in TD I wasn’t repelled
but I didn’t feel they added to the mystery, they just made for more creepy
vibes.

Gee, I thought they’d go the distance.

Re: [TV orNotTV] True Detective 4 [Was Quickie Review: Monsieur Spade]

[PGage]

Just finished TD4, which I was only able to do through sheer stubbornness
and accessing my deep streak of ICD completism.

I have a high tolerance for the baked in weaknesses of this series, but
season 4 seemed to be intentionally trying to be bad so hard it was just
insulting and obnoxious. It does get somewhat less bad in the last few
episodes,  it is unable to recover from the accumulated weight of its
badness overall.

I was shocked after to read that this season is highly regarded by critics
and the public. WTF?

I don’t dislike Jodie Foster, who can be good to very good, and I thought
was the only redeeming part of the otherwise awful “Nyad”. But, while not
the weakest link, she was part of the problem here. For me, prototypical of
the shows weaknesses was her “Ask the Question/Wrong Question” schtick.
After the first episode, my question, every time she said that, screamed at
the top of my voice:  “Why is this show so bad?”

The union only lasted a few weeks. They went on GMA to announce their split.
