. . . With Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali in the lead role, the first trailer for new season appears to deliver everything that made the first season such a hit: the somber philosophical monologues, the twangy Americana track, shadowy cinematography, and what seems to be a complex timeline that sees Ali donning old age makeup as his likely haunted cop looks back at the case he never forgot

This also looks like a better setting and character for Mamie Gummer to get a little Emmy buzz than Mr. Robot.

I did find the running joke of Stan in S2 funny but I thought it was bad. I was impressed wit Colin Farrell though. 

S3 looks promising. Mahershala Ali is a great actor. I do love the horror movie The Gate so Stephen Dorff has a point with me.  Hopefully this will be better then last season.

Looks good, but "coming this year" is all they know?

Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan discuss the first episode and Chris Ryan interviews Issa Lopez.

Lopez talks briefly about the "cosmic horror" and how in season 1, there was this Lovecraftian menace, which she liked and try to put here.

But she says at the end, viewers will be able to attribute the mystery to rational events if they want.

True Detective: Night Country's Secret Connection To Mike Flanagan's Hit Show May Solve Its Biggest Mystery

Quote

Tsalal is also the name of a remote island in Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, where the titular character, Arthur Gordon Pym, and his fellow explorers arrive during their expedition. 

Quote

In The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket's Tsalal arc, the central explorers get ambushed by the indigenous people of Tsalal, and many of them even get murdered. The story uses this clash between the explorers and the locals as a narrative device to highlight the darker aspects of the explorers' unchecked quest for discovery.

Quote

Something similar seems to be happening in True Detective: Night Country. The researchers at Tsalal were looking for the "origins of life," but likely took their scientific endeavors a little too far and gradually descended into a moral quicksand.
