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 […]
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 […]
