[@Stress-Free-K]

That's my criticism of True Det. S1. It's waaay too male-dominated. While Nite Country feels much more like real life from a female cop's POV. And once you see the ending I hope you'll appreciate that aspect especially. From the trailers, I could tell American Fiction had a very superficial feel.
But Nitw Country has been fascinating with its social politics. Ethnic and gender roles work brilliantly here. After you see it all, I think you will agree.

I saw the finale. While I appreciate the change of perspective in Night Country, the last couple of episodes didn't quite land for me. Some key character arcs felt too condensed, like Leah's and Peter's. The "who done it" reveal was at end was cathartic, but would've had more impact if we'd had a deeper understanding of the native community. The politics overall were mixed, ending up on the favor of "good cops" doing the right thing as opposed to addressing systemic change, as is common in detective dramas. Plus the whole mental illness vs super natural theme was under cooked.

@@moonbathchats I agree, this series really should been 8 - 13 episodes (all the other seasons got 8 eps). Cuz that would have made the supporting characters much more interesting. And they could have also teased a lot more about the cabal of cleaning women in every nook and cranny of this society. Along with providing even more fascinating insights into Inupiaq culture.
But that's HBO's fault. Not the story makers. And from what I've seen, the majority of reviews hold out season 1 like it was the second coming. And so they don't seem to appreciate the freshness of a female-led story and what that brings to the detective genre.
But I do. And I think the point was to show that even though you might not be able to make systemic change. You can and maybe must reclaim your communities. And eke out whatever measure of justice you can. Closing down both Tsalal and the mine is a pretty phenomenal feat in our world. Honestly, this was one of the happiest endings I've seen.
