Last season he caught shit for lack of portraying strong women. Now, the uproar is that the show’s too white. Expect the setting to revolve around a minority or ethnic neighborhood.

#blacklivesmatter in fictional storytelling too, damnit!

That particular setting is owned by Stephen King, and must be licensed in order to be able to be used.

Already done in Indiana Jones 4. Has to be somewhere "fresh".

I think Alaska is a good suggestion. It's a little tough, because great scenery doesn't necessarily equal great atmosphere.

I'd rather they focus on a better story and writing than the scenery.

Part of the allure of TD Season #1 was the cultural elements of the area. It seemed to miss most of that in Season #2.

I think Upper Northeast would be a really good choice, though if they do a S3. I imagine it's hard to sell a bunch of A and B list actors to spend alot of time in those types of areas though.

beautiful crap is still crap. I didn't mind the setting in season 2, the night shots were cool of course. But the plot was a wreck, and the writing network quality.

Rural Missouri or Arkansas Ozarks... Winter's Bone type setting would be cool as well.

So would somewhere like West Virginia or rural Kentucky with the oxy/meth/snake handlers and shit.

East Washington into Western Idaho with indian reservations would also be interesting.

Santa Fe, NM would be cool as well.

Start the story in Joplin the evening the tornado hit.

I remember reading that the first season was written to be set in Arkansas, but they went with Louisiana instead because of tax credits.

But the occult themes wouldn't have fit as well.

London would make a lot of sense if Pizzolatto wants to keep with the sex crime shit considering the BBC / Royal Family pedophile scandals.

I nominate Alaska.
