Think I caught up with this earlier this year after buying a Now TV stick, I thought it was really good. Not as good as S1 but good nonetheless...

Jodie Foster To Star In Season 4 Of HBO Anthology Series
Quote:
Foster, who will also exec produce the series, will play Detective Liz Danvers in the series, which comes from writer and director Issa López and executive producer Barry Jenkins.
The series is centered around Detectives Liz Danvers and Evangeline Navarro who are looking to solve the case of six men that operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanishing without a trace, when the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska. The pair will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.
Yes please.
I've just finished season one.
I have no idea how I've not caught up with this before.
I actually watched episode one way back and it didn't take but bloody hell it was good and the acting, particularly McConaughey, was just outstanding.
Does season two live up to it?

The way the series was set up I'd expect nothing else.
As for living up to series one, it would be difficult.
I'll give it a try though.

Never did go back for series 2 or three but the first episode of 4 is excellent.
Heard a couple of recommendations on radio and it's starring and produced by Jodie Foster, which is a big plus for me.
SPOILER:
Getting definite John Carpenter The Thing vibes

RE: [VIDEO] True Detective
Thought the first episode was sort-of okay. Love the setting - big Fortitude vibes! Sadly, I can't imagine the resolution to the story will be anywhere near as cool or out-of-left-field as that show. The storytelling feels strangely unfocused and littered with boring family drama.
As much as I love Jodie Foster, her character here isn't all that interesting so far. Navarro feels better defined, but also not particularly likeable. I hope the interplay between them evolves into more than just the two of them sniping at each other all the time.
John Hawkes is really good, although his character is just plain weird. Not sure how his Russian bride will factor into the proceedings...
Awful choice for the title song as well.

Honestly one of the few series I've watched that I'll play the intro every time.
Up to Ep 3 and it's got a good hold on me.
