    It was so obviously the diversity version, right around that time everyone was being pressured into this shit. I didn't watch it. Two was my favorite. I'll keep that good memory.

      I never got that vibe. It's rural '80s US. There were some racial tensions.

    quality aside, it's the same reason why s2 didn't do so well - people just wanted more of the same that was s1. which is sad because they clearly went for that in s3, but different enough. these kinds of setups are always divisive with people.

      you mean, people wanted S2 to delve deeper into the sex cult pedophile conspiracy that involved a governor and possibly even higher ups?
      You mean people weren't satisfied with the fricking spaghetti monster being domed as the end of that?
      I mean, leave Rust and Cohle, their stories were through. But let someone else pick up where they left.

    I liked it, but less than the other two seasons. Was playing it too safe with the formula: first 3 eps build up with a big action scene for episode 4, then build-up again for the last episode.

    At least here it was disliked because people got excited it seemed to be going back to S1 territory with conspiracies and elites and child sex trafficking shit and then the twist was that it was none of that and just one schizo b***h that wanted to have a daughter again.

    They also dropped the ball by not just having a single director for the whole thing again. It doesn't vary stylistically as much as Season 2 did but the first two episodes that Jeremy Saulnier did were noticeably slicker with the transitions from present to past than anything that came later.

    I watched True Detective last week, finished it yesterday and I’ve been acting like Rust. I constantly talk to myself like I’m in an interview. That’s just how I do… I go home, no girlfriend just my right handddddaa. Same old same old. *Smokes cigarette* a lot of people like that nowadays… Humanity on the edge of technological innovation, finding itself so divorced from its animalistic instincts… that I guess humanity will cease to reproduce or connect in any meaningful manner *Sips beer*

      Damn Rust, now we're in 2023 and humanity is complete slaves to their animalistic instincts. Whaddya say to that?

        Buddy, we’re all slaves to our biological determinism, but nowadays I see these feellas pumping hard in metal chambers in order to get a a Phillipino girlfriend looking for a green card. I see people splitting up and failing in their marriages and partnerships on a daily basis. Everyone’s had enough of each other and would rather, or at least fool themselves into thinking they are better off sitting in their room jerking off to women and a life they would actually like. Soon enough, the cycle will repeat and Humanity will finally stop reproducing and march into the abyss… complete peace and quiet

            What am I some kind of maniac, Marty? Of course Epstein killed himself. That is Epstein killed himself despite being in good spirits earlier in the same day and the cameras being conveniently shut off during his attempt and his guards being conveniently put off duty despite Epstein being on suicide watch. Just some crazy coincidences, Marty. Some things you cannot make up… even if you tried

    Literally the best ending scene of any true detective season. Fantastic wrap, way better than Season 1's lame "the light is winning" shit.
    I respect the gamble they took with the overall plot/mystery but it was a little unsatisfying to have such a banal answer.

    The three timelines in True Detective Season 3 was overkill and the storyline in 1990 was weak other than that I dont remember much. pretty forgettable tbh.

    I see True Detective Season 4 and Fargo season 5 as a rivalry series and wonder which one will be better but my bet would be Fargo

      literally how I feel about the show. Ironic, considering the entire show is about alzheimers and forgetting shit. Then the season is the most forgettable piece of garbage. It's like pottery it... wait how does that line go again? I forgot...

          Jon Hamm is in it? Wtf. I'm worried there won't be enough cute babes in it though... huge part of s01 success were the qt females to balance out the grim somber vibe of the rest. Something pretty to rest your eyes at from time to time, and now it's gonna be old hag-fest with male eye candy Jon Hamm instead.

    Imagine a season with Dominic West and Idris Elba as the protagonist detectives on a case like the the unsolved Hinterkaifeck murders mixed with the Keddie Cabin murders. That would make you guys squirt and squirm non-stop

      Might as well just re-do Bunk & McNulty instead at that point. Their chemistry would be 9 trillion times better than with Idris. Come to think of it, McNulty & Bunk is pretty similar to Rust & Marty dynamically
