HBO Television Show: True Detective

That's strange. I felt like nothing happened in the ending this season. It just sort of petered out.

i think if you're viewing this season as a crime story, you're right. after all, we pretty much knew the who-done-it (or at least those that were involved) well before hand. but if you're viewing it as a detective profile, then i would definitely disagree.

Season 1’s plot was better, but Hayes is probably the series’s best character

A bit depressing. An old detective working on the one case that haunted him, and now most of the people he knew are dead, and he’s senile. In the end he forgets why he ended up at the woman’s place.

I think S1's plot is the worst thing about the season. It's limp, obvious, and reliant on too much confidence. And that's when it isn't being purposely vague and incoherent.

Season 3 handled plot so much more effectively. Though, it still wasn't flawless, it was leaps and bounds better.

Pizzalato weighs in on fan theories.

[Dev]

Not sure how I felt about the last episode.

[Chris_H_2]

I do have a pretty serious crazy idea for another season.

Has this kind of narrative hook been used before, in terms of framing someone's battle with dementia in the guise of a detective story (i.e. trying to solve the case despite the hindrance of fading memory)? It seems like such an obvious narrative device for writers in the crime genre to employ, so I'm sure there's been great examples of it in the past, but ironically my mind is drawing a blank on it as well.

Memento was similar I suppose, but... shit... definitely something else. It’ll take a minute to...

I think the ending of this season was really lackluster, but the preceeding 7 episodes and 40-ish minutes of the 8th were great. Nice return to form after whatever the fuck the Colin Farrel and Vince Vaughn cringe fest was supposed to be.

Trash. Pizzalocker is an awful writer and it's only marginally saved by the phenomenal acting he gets.

Couldn't agree more. I can't believe I actually finished this. It was full of clichés, obvious, and just overall bad writing.

I never watched season 3 - was it worth it?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[Mickey]

It was by far the worst, I would skip it.

Interested in S4 only because it seems like Pizzolato is not very involved.

[VinylGuy]

fuck yeah season 4

[Mickey]

Jodie Foster!
