True Detective

[Moss]

I really enjoyed the finale, was on edge the entire time.

The last scene:

Spoiler: show

Do we know where Ani, Jordan, and Nails are heading off to now?

such shit. Do a lot of people out there really like and identify with the whole, "everyone loses!" finales?

Spoiler: show

I didn't see it that way. Some heavy-hitters got their come-uppance (Mccandless, Osep, Holloway). Velcoro got some closure with his son.

You had to know Frank and Ray weren't going to make it out of this story alive. Best case scenario was them going down with some satisfaction, which happened.

Mediocre finale for a mediocre season.

It all came together a little better than I thought it would, but I'm still not too satisfied/impressed with the season.

Spoiler: show

Considering that voicemail failed to upload, not so sure that Ray went down with any satisfaction.

Ani, Jordan, and Nails probably just went off into hiding; not much else they can do, especially since Ani appears to have recently delivered Ray's kid.

Ray got to see him with the badge though, and he's too dead to know it didn't upload. Wasn't that threesome already in hiding at that point? I guess since that reporter knew where they were it was best to move again.

[RKenshin]

Spoiler: show

Seemed to be implied that he saw it fail to upload right before jumping out into the open, since checking the phone was the last thing he did before it.

(paired with the dramatic staring up into the trees and such)

[Moss]

Spoiler: show

he was also thinking about Ani at that point and it seemed to bring him some relief to remind himself she was safe

he should have held out longer to kill that dbag Burris though

Are you actually asking if people identify with the tragic form of drama? I mean, its definition is literally older than the idea of comedies being funny.

welp, i'm glad that's over with

Nah, I had my hopes up Vince would style over everyone, even when he was out in the desert with the latinos lol. That'd totally change my opinion of the show. I'd like it the same way I do Trump

mcconaughey and harrelson made it out alive after some ballsy stuff, I wanted an epic finish. Only things that lead me to believe everything would go down the way it did was when vince did all that foreshadowing with the 2 weeks, 2 weeks, 2 weeks, white dress, and the instructions to bezzideres

Are you actually asking, though? I mean, it's literally as pretentious as you can get

S1, the two male protagonists survive and viewers complain about lack of stronk female
s2, ONLY THE STRONK FEMALES SURVIVE

I watched every minute of this season, at least partially out of loyalty to the show because of season one. I didn't hate it, but it didn't really work for me. There's not going to be scenes or moments or one-liners that I'm going to remember much past this week (other than aerial shots of serpentine highways, perhaps), and the big deaths in the final episode had little or no impact to me. Indeed, they felt stupid and unnecessary. I really like this new trend of closed-ended serial drama, so I'll probably watch season three, but I won't be awaiting it with the same anticipation I was this season. More of a "Hmm, wonder if this year will be good."

I dont think Ive seen a show go from beloved "you must watch it" to "god that was just bad" in two seasons like this since Heroes.

this is exactly how i felt

I didn't think it was *as* bad as Heroes Season 2, but that's a pretty decent comparison. They do have one advantage that Heroes didn't, though -- they can drop season two's cast, characters, show runner, and general poor decisions and start completely over in season three.

[Moss]

it's funny to me because I agree with the vast majority of criticism the show is receiving, but when I started bingeing at episode 3 I was hooked. All I can figure is I avoided the effect of being letdown after waiting a week, which is basically what I experienced after watching episode 2, causing me to put off the rest of the season until a few days ago.

[tyven]

wait so did u even know velcoro was stell alive when you went back to watch episode 3?

[Fryte]

My biggest beef was how the Mexicans knew where Frank was after switching cars and just randomly cruising through town.

[RKenshin]

Ray's end also seemed a little too unrealistic/forced.

The guy is a cop, he should've known they'd have people watching his kid. It was way too predictable. And despite wearing a 'disguise' in public last time, he decided not to this round? And he really doesn't know how to deal with/remove a transponder? Everything he's been through up to this point, and he gives up with that?

Not one to typically nitpick, but the big allure of this TV show in particular is the writing. I wanted/hoped for better.
