... and evil corporations and justice a-la-carte.
I thought TD was over with season 3. And indeed NP didn't write season 4. But apparently someone else picked up the franchise and so here we are.
While I didn't particularly like neither s2 nor s3, s4 is a disaster. Ofc I don't need to explain to whoever reads this - someone passionate about police drama I assume - that s1 represented the new benchmark of excellence for the genre. And that's why I'm not casting a vote: putting a mean rating for productions so different wouldn't make sense.
A disaster. And I'm not even talking about ghosts everywhere - though for such a genre and franchise it's sort of a contradiction to indulge in so much "magic".
The problem? From a procedural POV the absence of a good writer is clearly visible because the quantity of impossible stuff going on is over the top already by episode 2.
The rest - character design, setting features, side plots, dialogues, action, CGI - goes from mediocre to bad. I don't even feel like spoiling anything to explain my opinion because it doesn't deserve my time. If you like good police dramas and know the genre, avoid it.
Sorry for whoever was involved but with such a screenplay you can do an exceptional work and you'd still look like trash.
Oh... almost forgot... I'm actually wrong: the music dept is very good. Lots of modern pop-underground pieces that really fit with the themes.
