Time to let this go, but the worst part was the that the first two were legitimately good TV.

not if i knew what i was signing up for. but this season of true detective struggled a bit with its identity.
I'm not sure I agree. I think it struggled a bit with some execution of ideas. But I think it clearly knows what it is.
i'm not trying to be a contrarian, but what exactly is it?
It's a horror/noir crime story with strong themes about silenced/invisible peoples/witnesses and a focus on how stories are told and who gets to tell them.
How did the janitors rig that dvd player to only play the parade scene from Ferris Bueller to the point that it was playing again when they went back to TSALSAL after stopping it the first time?

Reggie Ledoux didn’t impart that wisdom on Rust Chole moments before his execution for it to be shoehorned into a scene that it loosely fit just for some semblance of nostalgia porn

Him being very dismissive of this season was a red alert when I first read about it; at first I was also thinking he could be angry because he is not a part of the show anymore but now I agree completely with his remarks.

I think his criticisms would hit slightly more if he'd literally done anything else noteworthy besides TD's first season. And while I really love it, it's the directing and acting in that season that really make it take off.

Renewed for season 5 with Lopez returning as showrunner. Between this and Alan Sepinwall stating this was the series’ best finale, I feel like this is all an elaborate prank. With Pizzolato ensuring he never comes back with his douche behavior this week, we’re doomed.
