It was at this time last week the media was coming up with around a thousand or so think-pieces to explain why they did not care for the second season of “True Detective.” What are they going to be doing with all of the extra free time tonight? That’s a good question, and one that […]
Last night, HBO closed the door on “True Detective” season 2, but as of this afternoon, there is still no word on what is going to happen next for the one-time hit series. (It’s still popular commercially, but it feels clear that some of the luster is gone after this season.) First things first, we should […]
There are many things that we consider fascinating about “True Detective” as a franchise; its creator has to stand at the top of the list. Nic Pizzolatto was viewed at this point a year ago as a visionary, a genius. He was one of the boldest, brightest minds in television, and he single-handedly wrote a […]
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Sometimes, the good guys don’t always win. You can make whatever cliche you really want to here about the “True Detective” season 2 finale, but it hardly did enough to justify the lengthy journey we went on to get to this point. We really don’t want to spend that much time […]
Tonight, we are going to have a chance to witness the season 2 finale of “True Detective,” but at the same exact time there is spontaneously no clear word as to when season 3 is going to air on the network … or even if. First things first, though, you should not take the lack […]
There are a few assorted highlights on TV Sunday night, but the biggest one is arguably the 90-minute season 2 finale for “True Detective.” This will likely feel like a movie, and at some point by the end of this the series is going to do just about everything that it can to pay off […]
Let’s be honest: Other than HBO, how many people are really talking right now about a “True Detective” season 3? The second season from our vantage point has not been the complete disaster that some in the media are professing it to be, but it also has not been a creative revelation, either. It’s been […]
Unless you have been hiding somewhere or have not been reading headlines, you probably know already that “True Detective” season 2 has been a pretty heavily-criticized season. Some dislike the dialogue, others dislike the confusing story. Some just more or less hate everything. We haven’t felt the season is the complete dud that others have, […]
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 […]
