i wanted to like it mostly because the cast was so good. but yes, it's very anti-men, anti-trump (directly), anti republican etc

i mean we have john hamm eating breakfast in the morning with his wife (who he slaps around) and his kids and he makes them all watch donald's speech on TV. what a heel!

then you have the female cop who is nothing but a tough, well-meaning sweetheart. of course her boyfriend is a dumb has-been jock who cheats. because that's what white guys do in shows these days.

Nothing will ever top True Detective season 1. The rest were ok but not great.
This one is just weird. Even if you look past all the girl power bs, it's just been slow. The supernatural aspect to it is probably the only reason to keep watching it, and that's because I want to see how they explain it all at the end.
Expecting disappointment.

You also can tell it's a liberal writing the show. A few points:

1. Basically every woman in the show is stronger, they all act like they want to be men. They fight well, they're morally superior to the men, they sleep around a ton, and are smarter.

2. Pretty much every single white man in the show is evil, corrupt, and weird looking (typical leftist casting and writing). There's one exception, a younger white male, but he's also mostly incompetent and weak, looks up to the women for guidance. Boyish looking and confused/needs the woman's help.

3. The morally superior native Americans are pushing back against evil corporation ran by morally corrupt white men and the occasional corrupt white woman

4. The minorities in the show (natives) are wholesome, support each other, all around better people, while every white family portrayed in the show is dysfunctional and broken/bad.





It's just so blatantly obvious. Liberals think that others don't know this and that their agenda is subtle enough to trick people's thinking but it's so hard to miss. They brainwash each other and then convince each other that the above 4 points reflect reality (when they don't).


It's so old. I think in 10/15 years people will look back at this era like wtf, how did society become so anti-white and anti-male in that time period, how weird it was just accepted.

Truth be told the propaganda can be worse on other shows so I'm still watching it a bit. I saw a statement from the Season 1 writer basically saying they screwed up this show with a liberal writer.
I keep watching, hoping it will get better.

Besides the "anti everything", i mainly find the native lore to be boring

I know you couldn't imagine it but it does get progressively worse after the 5th episode. They throw in a bizarre flashback episode of domestic violence from the past just incase the current plot ones weren't enough.

Yep, hit every lazy negative stereotype they could reach for. I think they shot themselves in the foot on this one, the writing was so bad I can't even imagine liberals enjoying it.

Is it worth ever finishing? Genuinely loved Seasons 1 - 3, and 4 wasn't too bad either, although Season 4 peaked in the first episode when it showed how the Irish, Italian, and black gangs got their footing in America. But Season 5 was taxing. I didn't mind the main girl being a badass using Home Alone booby traps, but the rest of the characters sucked ass. Hated the mother-in-law. The only white male that wasn't a villain was her cuckolded husband. Even the No Country For Old Men, Anton type character was a little bish when faced with the 110 lb housewife. "YOU DIDN'T TELL ME SHE WAS A TIGER." AH, shut the fuark up. Just really blatant leftist propaganda.
