People are talking about it, mainly in the last tv show you watched thread.

i think myself cal and eva and kiramid are the only ones on board, and i think only myself and eva an cal have seen it to the end.

Spoiler

I liked the end, i like how the Yellow king was an average shit kicker, and there wasn't this massive twist, made it seem more realistic and made it all the more creepier, and i did like the allegory it ends with about light and dark.

[Cvalda]

Oh god, not elementary light/dark metaphors!

I'll still watch this eventually, though

[Rong]

didn't think you'd click the spoiler but i knew you'd shit all over it when you actually got to see it, lol i make it sound worse than it is tho 

[Cvalda]

Don't worry, in Fukunaga I trust.

I'm just disappointed I don't get my Lovecraftian drama I was hoping for.

[KiramidHead]

I loved the show, but the finale left me a little unimpressed.

Spoiler

I was pretty underwhelmed by the not-creepy-at-all fat f**k hick and his silly Cary grant impression.

pfft i was praying it wasn't going to be that, the end result is much creeper imho.

Spoiler

just another would-be Ed Gein playing around in the remnants of so-called Carcosa, the last withered branch of a "cult" that seemingly succumbed to the same post-Industrial entropy that's consumed the rest of the show's desiccated vision of Swamp Country.

See above,

Spoiler

usually evil is the most pedestrian of things and it's always scarier in that respect

[Cvalda]

Yeah, but by the same token, we've already had a shitload of serial killer dramas over the last three decades, so this isn't breaking a lot of ground in that regard

[KiramidHead]

Spoiler

I dunno, he was built up as this intimidating giant with scars on his face, and he turned out to be something out of a Rob Zombie movie. I was hoping for something more Lords of Salem than Halloween II extra.

Spoiler

if they'd handled it any differently it would have been too unbelievable i think, i nearly had issues with the "carcosa" because its almost unbelievable that no one would have found it before but ohwell

[Aspie]

I have all the episodes recorded. On a scale from 1-10' what would you guys rate it?

[Cal427eb]

11

[Rong]

High ups brah.

i'm still colating in my head, but based on ep4 it's about a 8.5 - 9ish for me.

[Aspie]

Hmmmmm good enough for me. The market is drenched with cop shows, was wondering if this separated itself.
