Season One is still incredible, but I think if anyone other than McConaughey played Rust, it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good. He carried it harder than Westbrook carried OKC this year.
Do or die for the series.
Here's hoping the over extended hiatus did the trick.
Was coming here to post this
Looks good. I'm hoping they rediscover the feel that made season 1 so great. No one is Woody and Matt, but Ali is great and if they can build a similar environment it could be good.
Looks promising. Like they realized True Detective needs to be a real crime mystery and not just another cop show.
Five head wedding crashers guy nearly destroyed this franchise
I am hoping to watch the first 2 episodes on Wednesday.
Think I may save up a month's worth like I did with Sharp Objects.
I dug SO but don't know if I would have stuck with it had I waited week-to-week.
My body is ready
i gave up on season 2 about 1/3 of the way in, dont see myself going back to it.
but i'm willing to give season 3 a shot
Don't bother. It would've been just kind of a dumb show but calling it True Detective was unforgivable. The bad completely outweighs the good.
Oh yeah, even though the format threatens to copy season one too closely, I'm in.but i'm willing to give season 3 a shot
Don't ever go back to it. The worst thing I've ever watched in my life
So what's the verdict?
Is it worth re-upping HBO for a month?
I thought the first two episodes were pretty good.
I enjoyed the first 2 episodes.
i watched S3 ep1 last night, I thought it was excellent...

Already looks way better than season 2, however Colin Farrell beating the out of someone with brass knuckles and then threatening to sodomize someone with a headless corpse is stil one of the most underrated scenes ever
This is some over-the-top hyperbole
Yeah, looks like we're back to season one goodness.
*POSSIBLE SPOILER*
Looks a little like a variation of the West Memphis three story at first glance, but the variations are major enough to not think it's going to be predictable. Ali is so good, everyone else in the cast might end up paling in comparison.
I was going to say that it would be interesting to see how this season will manage to wrap everything up with two episodes left, but then I realized that nothing ever gets wrapped up in True Detective.
This is where I'm kinda at, too.
On one hand, acting is great. The two cops' chemistry is top notch. In fact I love that little other cop guy. His angry face is hilarious but all so real.
On the other hand the multiple time lines, multiple stories at the same time story-telling device is kinda played out IMO.
Still blows the heap season 2 outta the water.
Stephen Dorff has been great so far. The advertising and the first episode or so downplayed his role in the season. I still think he should have had more scenes centered around him, though.
In regards to season two, I liked the characters and the main four's acting, but the story sucked. The scope was far too big for eight episodes, and the ending seemed forced. I don't hate it, but removing the cult themes made the mystery far less interesting.
Imagine if Casey Affleck found out what really happened in Gone Baby Gone 35 years after it mattered--basically when everybody involved is either dead or grown up by then--and you would have True Detective Season 3.
It was a strange choice for an ending.
I quit smoking about two months ago. But watching both Roland and Hays light up on the regular is one of the hardest things to watch sometimes.
Because they make it look so fkn cool, which isn’t the reality of smoking cigarettes
