As frustrating as “True Detective” season 2 may be to some of you out there (and we understand that), you can at least take a little bit of solace in one particular thing: The fact that the show will give you Caspere’s killer in one way or another by the end. They’re not just going […]
We have admittedly been more positive than most when it comes to the second season of “True Detective,” if for no other reason than that we feel like the show does have some merits, and the actors are at least trying to do what they can with the material given to them. Even if you […]
It has been pretty clear for a while that “True Detective” has put its characters this season on the edge of a cliff, with it feeling like one wrong step could send them tumbling off the side. Somehow, things became even more intense tonight on “Black Maps and Hotel Rooms” the moment that we saw […]
Tonight, we finally are making it to the finale of “True Detective,” and let’s just hope that by the time this season wraps, we come away from this feeling very satisfied about the journey. We don’t necessarily think the whole “wait until the end before you make an overall assessment of the season” defense, which […]
Given that HBO had its presentation at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour this afternoon, can you really be that stunned that there was talk of “True Detective“?

Tonight, “True Detective” tried to make some of its boldest moves to date in setting up what will transpire in the final two episodes. We saw Ani go uncover to obtain some clues about the Caspere investigation, and we also saw Ray make some of his biggest personal sacrifices to date. “Black Maps and Motel […]
Given that “True Detective” is only running for eight episodes, there are definitely moments we get frustrated watching Ray and Frank stare at each other for longer than a few seconds. There is so much else to get to! Yet, at the same time tonight’s “Church of Ruins” contained so many other important character moments […]
Tonight another pivotal episode of “True Detective” season 2 is set to air on HBO, and as we prepare to watch this story unfold we are still left to ponder one very simple question: Are we getting the show we deserve? That’s a modified version of the tagline for this season, but it is hard […]
