I'm assuming the review is an outlier, but if that critic found season 5 of "Fargo" irritating, but likes this, then I dunno if I can get with this.

I thought it was a Metallica poster, but couldn't quite figure out if it was young or old Metallica, and now I know why. That's so weird.

being a music nerd I immediately tried to discern who the bands were, then realized it was just a coating of AI slime.

I could see it being a subtle "we're in a weird dream universe" touch, except that there are a ton of product placements sharp and in focus (was distracted by the framing that featured the Pepsi logo in one shot).

Probably stretching here but I wonder if those were originally actual band posters that they couldn't get (or wouldn't pay the rights for) so they last minute threw AI slime over 'em?

of all the things that happened in the episode it is very ILX to be “BUT THE POSTERS”

sure, but it's not like they are just anachronistic or something, they are absolutely horrid!

Fargo had great character-defining band posters in Gator's bedroom

(sorry I got rid of HBO so I will only be posting about Fargo in this thread)
Ferris Bueller or Mike Damone's bedroom being the obvious standard here.

Interesting that with the CGI elements and those posters that they filmed everything set outside in the Arctic outside:
Every shot outside in the ep was shot outside, in the arctic.So, by living there for 10 months, I learned that visible breath depends on humidity. Sometimes it happens...Sometimes not. 🤷🏻♀️ https://t.co/BlpVHoSYZB— Issa López (@IssitaLopez) January 22, 2024

(though then I go google and find out that Iceland isn't actually the arctic, but 40 miles south of it)

Amazing response from her about the AI posters:

I think the very north of Iceland is technically the Arctic.

There’s one village (Grimsey) on an island off the north coast, near Dalvik (one of the filming locations for this show)

The grocery store scene triggered a massive “I know this place” moment for me; seems maybe unlikely that they filmed in one of the three Reykjavik/Hafnarfjordur grocery stores I’ve shopped at, but maybe so?

I have fond memories of an AirBnB in Harfnarf Du Jour, as we still refer to it.

Probably because I clicked on this thread or maybe because I googled True Detective, but now I'm getting served all these news stories claiming it is a direct sequel to season 1. So ... watch this one first and if we like it go back to season 1?

The first season is a great, iconic season of television, although sh wometimes it's a bit annoying, and parts of it are Very Silly Indeed. Woody and Matty are fantastic; the writing for the female characters absolutely bites. Either way, it's definitely a good time.
I'm guessing the new season has resonances to the first but isn't a direct continuation.

I full-tilt adored S1, masterful writing, directing, acting, everything. I can't get my bf to re-watch it because he hates Matt McC and cares not for Woody H

Watching the first episode - we’re off to a great start

should i start a S4 thread since we have one for each of the others?
