Why is this show written so poorly? It seems like before the Hollywood strike that Hollywood writers would have clued in by now that to be a successful script and story writer that one must entertain the audience, not bore them with agenda driven boring banter and unrealistic human reactions, actions and ultimately roles that are check boxes beside them.
Did anyone find the Inuit women doing a 'traditional Inuit water-birth" strange and out of place? That's because its not traditional at all. In fact traditionally the Inuit have never had water births because the water is freezing cold in northern Alaska and such tribes have never ever had such a practice. Being Canadian we know a thing about the cold weather, winters and natives. The writing is so poor that you can just imagine in the writers room on True Detective that they thought it would be sooo progressive to have a room full of Inuit women supporting a tribe member giving birth in a wading pool. The only thing this scene accomplished was letting us know just how agenda driven and crazy Hollywood writers still are at this modern day and age.
Jodie Foster is an acting talent. Of that fact it cannot be disputed; however, her character is poorly written and there is nothing Foster can do beyond trying to add flavour and likeability to a frankly unlikeable character as she is written. Its like she is playing a larger more powerful and physically strong tough constable. When reality kicks in you realize that this rough and tumble cop thats man-handling and restraining much larger people is only 5'3" and weighs about as much as a feather that you realize how absurd the entire notion of her character actually is.
Not worth your time. 4/5.
