First episode of this showed here tonight and it was excellent. Definite return to form after s2 and 3 crapfests. Jodie Foster is on top form. Lots of weird, disturbing and supernatural hints.
There's also more than a passing nod to the infamous Dyatlov Pass Incident.
In one of the trailers I saw the same spiral symbol from the body of the woman from s1 and Rust Cole from s1 lived in Alaska. Wondering if he'll make an appearance turned killer.

I watch this with a group of friends on Sundays and we had to cancel last week, one had a possible covid exposure and the other had to blow someone or something.
S2 and 3 were that bad compared to s1 that I thought it actually gave some credence to the rumours that Nic Pizzolatto plagiarised s1 from someone else. And I'm not referring to the Thomas Ligotti stuff.

No idea. Just vaguely remember reading after s2 that because the quality of writing was such a vast gulf that maybe he'd stolen the story.
Probably a load of shite. I imagine s1 took years to write and then he was pressured into following it up as quickly as possible to capitalise on s1 success.
I remember the same thing for the Wachowski's after The Matrix.

Did Thomas Ligotti claim he plagiarized him or something lol?
Season 1 definitely took inspiration from cosmic horror and outright name-dropped Robert W. Chambers' King in Yellow. But that wasn't like plagiarism or anything.
Thomas Ligotti is probably the single most well-known proponent of anti-natalism there is and Rust is an anti-natalist. And The Conspiracy Against the Human Race is a work of philosophical nonfiction, quoting its assertions in a character meant to represent that philosophical outlook is no more plagiarism than having ****ing Vision quote the Ship of Theseus in WandaVision is plagiarizing Plutarch's Life of Theseus lol.
Not saying you're personally putting stock into it but that's such a stupid accusation.
