Eh? At no point was the show or even anyone in it making the claim that Jodie Foster's character is racist, I'm pretty sure.
Hmmm a lot of the terms she used to describe the local indigenous people, and her interactions with that other policewoman, did strike of casual racism.
Hahaha i share the same gripe. The theme song just seems kind of....off. Not a fit at all for the show, the theme of the show or the opening graphics. Such an odd choice.
I got the impression she just hated everyone equally. Just a miserable sod that hates people. Not one group in particular
Yeah possible - but some of the wording she used was racially targeted, no? I mean, it might stem from general misanthropy, but it still stood out.
Hard to know after 1 ep. Pop back in after a few weeks
Thanks!
Finally watched e1 and agree with this. I generally feel like its pretty good so far. I am definitely curious to see what happens next now. I do wonder a bit about the decision to seemingly move towards the supernatural more than in the other seasons but I'll watch it anyway because it makes it feel a bit X Filesy (of which I was a huge fan).
Yeah the carcosa spirals and the wooden traps in the camper pretty much made the link obvious between this and season 1.
Any examples which stuck in your mind? I only remember her either saying Inuit or referencing specific tribes.
Yeah this was completely bizarre unless she was taking notes on all her customers. The tattoo wasn't even particularly remarkable or memorable.Yeah the carcosa spirals and the wooden traps in the camper pretty much made the link obvious between this and season 1.
Episode two was alright I guess, just some bizarre stuff e.g. melting the corpses totally exposed to the public and of course a tattoo artist remembering a customer from seven years ago. Maybe it was the $600 spiral tattoo
I don't know about specific references to tribes etc but there are definite undertones of racism and the problems between the white folk and the indigenous population, no? You see enough subtle references to it.
I mean, yeah, the culture clash is front and centre. Just don’t remember Jodie Foster’s character dropping any clues that she was racist. If anything, the knowledge she seemed to have about the indigenous people made her seem the opposite. Could be wrong though. My memory isn’t what it used to be!
I'm not sure if it entirely counts as her being racist but she's not happy about her daughter spending time with that grandmother and trying to discover her culture (the whole thing in Episode 2 as well). Maybe she has her (justified) reasons for this which we find out later (or already have and I missed it).
Yep, the same. And also the bit about Travis (the dead fellow who guided Rose) being the father of Mathew McConaughey's character from S1!
It's watchable; not a true return to S1 form, but not terrible. It's like The Thing and Insomnia had a baby and the spinoff starred Jodie Foster but Fiona Shaw was low-key stealing the show.
Nothing supernatural or alien about the show. It's more like "Eleventh hour" so far (tv show with Patrick Stewart, top show).
"Not terrible" is bloody disappointing
Nah, it‘s good. It‘s not great tholugh and that‘s what people were hoping for after all.
I like season 3 a lot, so if it could reach that standard I'd be happy. I'm not expecting a season 1
Haven’t dinished S3 but seemed very solid. S4 ties into S1 so that‘s an interesting angle..although I‘m not expecting some brilliant conclusion/narrative but who knows what they come up with. Enjoy the ride I‘d say.
Hate feels too strong but the dislike and disappointment is justified. If I didn't like S1 so much I might have quit watching already.
People are hating it? Apart from the mismatch between the title video and the music it is great so far. What is there to hate?
Who gives a toss about slight discrepancies in the timing of the end of a kiddies ice hockey game? And you defrost bodies for autopsy slowly as doing it fast allows the outer layers to decompose quickly, even before the interior of the body is defrosted. Doing this on an ice rink isn't exactly ideal but in the absence of better facilities you work with what you have got.
The actual journos won't publish these words but I've seen plenty of viewer reviews that clearly take issue with 3 things: two women as the leads, having a native as one of them opposing Foster, showing lesbian relationships, and showing both women as taking the reigns of their relationship with the men in their life (oh no, the patriarchy blah blah blah). "It's too woke" apparently. I've even seen people calling Kali Reis (Navarro) - ugly and fat after the one more skin bearing scene in S1. It's all disappointingly blatant. Some journos in turn seem to be grasping at straws to criticize the show in turn because they know they can't say the same things.
The problem with the Navarro actress is her diabolical acting.
yeah
