Absolutely felt the same. Arctic setting certainly goes a long way with that.

The first episode was packed, I agree. They introduced so many characters and had so many conversations with references we don't know anything about. 6 season arc certainly has a part to do with that.
I will say I'm impressed with Kali Reis. I wasn't expecting much for a virtual unknown with no acting experience.

I don't think where she is coming from is that far off, mind you I don't pay much attention to RT scores. Moreso about the general "bros" musings on True Detective as a series. S1 set such an unnaturally high bar of expectations on S2/S3 where people just handwave those seasons as being bad (they're obviously nowhere near S1 which is one of the best standalone seasons of television ever) but they're still good. Better than 95% of network crap that people watch. I'm a sucker for TD type material though.
Looking forward to the rest of S4.
