Not seen it but my impression is some viewers are upset the new one seems to be hinting at supernatural stuff actually happening, rather than the "cosmic horror" of s1 being rust's broken self trying to make sense of depravity under late capitalism (ie hallucinatory, allegory)
Same, I can see it taking a turn to how the mine has literally poisoned everyone and indigenous lore is fueling some of the hysteria 'forming' the hallucinations.
Here for it if that's the case, need more media about ecological impacts of capitalism
I've been enjoying it. I could maybe make some minor criticisms. Honestly, i hesitate to say anything definitive until I've seen the whole thing, because seeing the full thing might reverse those.
The loudest critisms seem to be a lot of misogyny. Like every detevtive in noir and on True Detective in particular is an asshole, but because they're women now people are flipping out. Also this season has a different show runner (who is also a women) and thst seems to be a problem for some people, including the old show runner who still gets an executive producer credit and profits off it, but feels compeled to complain himself
I'm not that far in, but while I'm overall enjoying it, it feel a bit less tight than seasons 1 and 3. I'm seeing more clique tropes (dude with a mail order bride? Really? In 2024?), scenes that go on a bit too long, and it's wearing its influence on its sleeve, literally they have a DVD of The Thing on a shelf in one shot. Also it's too early to call it but I think it's, unintentionally or not, gonna have a similar twist to the video game Penumbra (don't look up for spoilers). Oh yeah The Terror too.
The supernatural stuff being more blatant isn't inherently bad but I feel like it could easily go in a really stupid direction fast. Plus it does kind of clash with the themes of the previous seasons.
Been hearing mixed opinions about it what's that about

Actually the indigenous women weren’t victims of systemic racism, it would Cthulhu
Yah know it could be both

it stars a lot of women, many of whom are indigenous, and is really about the plight of the native women in the area.
so basically misogyny
