I thought season one was great story telling...
That didn't tell a great story.
shareSeason one was good. Season 2 was a disaster.

I am confused, did you like it or not?
shareI did...but was a bit underwhelmed by it's conclusion. Great acting... direction... cinematography! Story was fairly tight...just felt there was a bit more to tell👍
shareI would agree that the conclusion is the weakest part of the story, that's true for a lot of films and series. It's easier to set things up than to tie everything together. But true detective for me is all about the mood and atmosphere so I can forgive the conclusion.
shareJust watched Season 1 and that’s the feeling I got. Lots of story threads were ultimately irrelevant, it seems.
I’m still processing it but I’m not convinced S1 is the masterpiece everyone says.
The villain was cartoonish and too easy to dislike. The story seemed to unravel the corruption of local law enforcement and the political apparatus supported by it, but in the end it relied on a "Deliverance" type of conclusion where it was just about evil, inbred Crackas
shareI'd rather that than a good story told badly
