not if i knew what i was signing up for. but this season of true detective struggled a bit with its identity.

Gotta be the most overrated show of all time which i guess speaks wonders about S1.

I dont even remember season 3.

I remember season 2 with how bad the dialogue was and i kind of want to rewatch it.

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?

We’re all executing poorly. We’re all confused with our identity sometimes. We all, at times, have really bad dialogue. We’re all overrated.

Maybe we are just seeing ourselves. Maybe this show is us.

you guys are just talking in circles.. the season, , particularly the lady who played navarro's acting, mostly sucks.. but some people like it.. get over it, move on

Do you have any more to say about eds retirement or are we good?

i find his voice in the new song utterly unbearable, but i accept that some people like it.. it's hard to understand, but I understand it to be true.. unless they're all lying.. but there's nothing else to say without repeating ourselves over and over.. at least til the new songs come out

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.

At the end of the day, we all prefer Moulder and Scully.

I don’t know that I do since I’ve never seen them.

Also a gang of maids cleans up the mess.

As usual, that's a take.

What I think they failed to answer:

Spoiler: show

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?

Guys the season was a mess.

It might have been better if Lopez didn’t shoed in all those references to S1; but it was still a huge mess.

Foster was ok and that’s it.

Yeah, and how did they know the fire alarm switch on the wall was fake and opened the secret hatch?
