Did you watch Season 3? After the Season 2 debacle, I couldn't bring myself to attempt it. I'm afraid to even play this trailer!

I'm minded to be very charitable to series two and say it was ok(ish 
) and I liked series three just fine, so I'll certainly have a bit of this. I'm excited to see Fiona Shaw and Christopher Eccleston too.

What were you doing on March 30, 1981?Is that Jodie Foster? If so, will watch!
Shit that looks genuinely class. Jodie Foster is brilliant.
Season 3 was much better than Season 2 I thought for 9/10 episodes. It just couldn't land it. I'll still give Season 4 a try because the 1st season is some of the best TV ever
Are the seasons in any way related?
No, completely different settings and no cast overlap.
Btw if the new season isn't going to have a Jodie Foster related "Clarice" Easter egg somewhere I'll be disappointed.
I‘m with you on S2 and wonder if rewatching it now would make it even better(ishI'm minded to be very charitable to series two and say it was ok(ish
). Back then it was ultimately extremely unsatisfying because of the direct comparison/ expectations with S1. Did watch two episodes of S3 but couldn‘t keep my interest, maybe I‘ll check it out once more if you liked it.Two was so terrible, but three? Fantastic!
S1: 10/10
S2: 1/10
S3: 9/10
S2: 1/10
S3: 9/10
Season one was 10/10 for most of the season but fell of a cliff at the end which was very disappointing. Season 2 was better than 1/10 but still not brilliant and season 3 was decent but nowhere near the quality of (most of) season 1.
The clip for season 4 looks great.
You're weird
Which bit?
The first 6 episodes of season 1 were brilliant. The last 2 far less so. It went from a complex and intriguing cop thriller to standard schlock horror style swamp people nonsense.
The bit where you got weird.
I'm on my phone, so it's hard for me to counter your deluded and totally valid subjective view with my superior and totally valid subjective view.
So, I'll resort to pointless name calling, you weird fecker
Glad we cleared that up
I don't like the teaser.
Fast cuts and loud music don't suit a cold night in Alaska. Slow, quiet and mystery would have been the better choice in my opinion.
Also the protagonists look like a cheap copy of Rust and Marty to me. Both hate each other, the conversation in the car has the same vibe. To me, it just looks like a new attempt to recreate S1 and if that's so, it will fail again.

Season 1 made me realize the short shrift I’d paid to Woody Harrelson all these years. Mcconaughetky too. It was so well done. Moody. Atmospheric. That one-shot raid scene. Showing them at 3 different ages, so so good.
Season 2, I just… Taylor Kitsch is the worst actor I’ve ever seen. He’s wooden like Keanu Reeves but without any humor. Colin Farrell, I don’t know, one film to the next he’s great or shit. This role was too much for him. The other two, Rachel McAdams and Vince Vaughn, were good but their parts were underwhelming and the story itself was stupid. I’ve met Vaughn in real life and he’s a really big dude, 6’5” or 6’6”, physically he can play a heavy, but he still has that smirk and baby face that makes those roles seem wrong for him. But Kitsch’s stuff just was shite.
The scuttlebutt is that the two guys who were responsible for season 1 had a big fight over the other person claiming more credit than they were due, so in season 2 it was a vendetta against Cary F, who had written most of season 1.
s1 10/10
S2 2/10. I liked a couple scenes.
To tell you the truth I shouldn't really rate s2, 'beause I only watched two episodes. S1 is rated as one of the best series ever by a couple of sites, which I can't fault
And how many celebs have you actually met?!
Way too many.
Never do anything out of hunger, not even eating.
I read that Pizzolatto and director Fukunaga had a really strained working relationship on season 1, as Fukunaga constantly tried to tone and edit down all the monologues and extra, unnecessary dialogue that Pizzolatto had written, and that the latter was gradually given more power by HBO during production. Season 2 just reeks of an unchecked ego, so it makes sense.
I very much like Ali and liked Stephen Dorff too. The story I thought was a nicely-told police procedural, nothing groundbreaking but fine. A personal note for me was that a deadbeat drug addict cnut of a bloke in it has the same name as my cousinI‘m with you on S2 and wonder if rewatching it now would make it even better(ish
Is struggled with S2 purely because of how highly I rate S1 and my undying love for the show.
Great teaser. We will be there.
Yeah S1>>>S3>>>>>S2
Might watch S1 again as my other half hasn't seen it. I won't inflict Season 2 on her though.

Series 1 was very good. The creepiness and aesthetic was top drawer, as were the performances of McConaughey and Harrelson. I actually thought series 2 was OK but obviously far off the first. Series 3 started really well and Mahershala Ali was very good but ultimately there was a lack of dramatic weight.
Series 4 involves a totally different writing staff, right? I haven't seen any of Issa Lopez's work but will give it a chance. I'm kinda done with the dark snowy environments so prevalent in crime shows these days, along with the distrusting Native American residents motif. This doesn't especially seem particularly original or interesting but Jodie Foster is obviously an amazing actress. Whether I watch it or not probably depends on the reviews, honestly.

Looks quite good, will definitely be watching.
S1 probably maybe fave single series ever
S2 poor but on second watch it’s a bit better. I think if you’d not seen season 1 and watched it isolation it’s would be a idle of the road series and not as heavily slated.
S3 good, enjoyed it. Less gripping but a return to engaging characters and more thought in the plot.

It was decent. I can see how some would think it better than Season 2, but I view them as roughly the same (I am also weird because I think Season 2 was decent as well).
Give it a go.
The chemistry between the two leads doesn't look that great in the trailer...
Season 1 is up there with the best TV of all time.

Season 3 was good, notably thanks to Mahershala Ali who was great in it.
Had no idea a season 4 was in the works, that's cool!
It's just a teaser but not feeling it. Hope I'm wrong.
Jodie Fosters already done a great version of True Detective. It’s called The Silence of the Lambs.
Not seen the other actor before but her acting comes across as wooden and Jodie Foster aint convincing either. I get it's a teaser but didn't get me excited.
I caught the first 2 or 3 episodes but wasn't really feeling it and never went back. I might try again before the new one drops.
I stopped playing the teaser once I saw the spiral. That was enough to reel me in
