Bizarre. “We like it, but we want it to piggyback on this IP”.
I guess it kinda worked. Provoked a lot of discussion.
I’m surprised I don’t completely dislike it and will finish it (although quite glad it’s only 6 eps). Usually the supernatural horror would have had me turning it off instantly, but I’m invested now. I like Evangeline and the sidekick newbie. Plus The Thing is my favourite ever movie, to which I’m seeing a lot of homage.
Basically agree with a lot of what’s been said up thread. It’s not great (S1), not terrible (S2). It’s just cheap. Very, very cheap in places. I can’t believe the Guardian gave it 5 stars, though.
Now I am reading it's not even supposed to be True Detective so that makes more sense.
That's why the 5 year break and none of the original team are involved. Kinda unfair to then
be surprised when people compare it to the other seasons.
