True Detective's first season is overrated and the season finale was just horrible.

The last 3 episodes aren't great.

Maggie sleeping with Cohle is dumb AF as is Cohle and Marty's fight in the parking lot.

And, yes, the last episode is pure garbage.

I agree that both of those were dumb. But I loved the series finale.

Cohle's been obsessing about it for years and years and when he and Marty find out all the people who are REALLY behind it, he just thinks, "Hey, I guess some people just get away with shit. Oh well."

In his defense, he did just have a hatchet split his sternum in half. Probably wasn't up for much arguing at that point.

What do you think they should have done with the ending?

Actually get into the possibility of all that shit being real instead of no wait it's just a normal cult with rich assholes.

Yeah this pretty much sums my feeling about the finale:

Quote:
Form And Void, however, had some serious lapses into cliched territory, making True Detective's final hour its weakest. Not only did it jettison the show's slow-burn dread for something more formulaic and, ultimately, a little too tidy, but those hoping for some grand explanation for the sprawling mythology the show had set up (Carcosa, the Yellow King, black stars and the like) were left disappointed. Instead, we were treated to a deadly drawn-out game of hide and seek in a crumbling labyrinth, a culprit seemingly drawn from the Big Book of Serial Killer Cliches (the disturbed redneck Errol Childress), oh, and a happy ending. (Or at least an ending as happy as one could expect, given the grimness that preceded it.)
