This season was not without some unfounded controversy, as Nic Pizzolatto decided to complain about the production, loudly and publicly, pretty much from the get-go. Pizzolatto is credited as ‘series creator’ for “True Detective,” having developed the first highly-praised season for HBO. (But even that is up for debate, as claims of plagiarism for that season…

If you haven’t seen the absolutely stunning film “The Creator,” you need to. From the same director who brought us “Godzilla” (2014) and “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” it really feels like Gareth Edwards is just getting warmed up. Seriously.
