NFT: True Detective Season 3 Starts now (9 PM)

pjcas18 : 1/13/2019 9:00 pm
this season of the anthology stars Mahershala Ali and is hopefully better than season 2.
Season 1 was great. Season 2 was unwatchable. So I don't have a clue

about what to expect in the future.
Season 2 was hilariously bad in spots

And just bad the rest of the time. I will give this a shot just because of how good season 1 was.
Ali is worth the price of admission

though I’m going to wait until next weekend to start
I will wait to see what people say.

There are too many good shows I want to watch and don't want to get sucked into one that is bad.
Are they doing the first two episodes back to back

Tonight?
Fantastic so far

Great acting and story is good as well.
It's amazing!

Very close to Season One quality. Same formula with three separate timelines, 1980,1990 and 2015.
Definitely has a season 1 vibe.

Jaded partner says waxing philosophic, strange sculptures near murders, there was even a Lovecraft reference (book in the kids room). That could be good or bad. Good so far tho.
Don't forget multiple timelines.

Season 1 paint by numbers. Good enough to keep watching tho.
Just finished episode 1

Pretty damn good.

Much better than season 2. Similar to season 1 but thats fine with me
I liked it  
pjcas18 : 1/14/2019 8:06 am : link
certainly seems more like a return to the season 1 format which I liked.

First episode had me hooked

pretty quickly. As you've all noted, it's back to the formula that worked in season 1. And Mahershala is just a fantastic actor. I'd watch anything he does. I'm in

Second episode is available on HBO Go
Episode 2  
pjcas18 : 1/14/2019 8:43 am : link
was on right after episode 1 for some reason on regular HBO last night.

Both good.

There is one thing I liked better than season 1 (without spoiling anything) so far for season 3.

There are no low-talkers. While watching season 1 I had to have the volume maxed up and even considered watching with sub titles. McConaghey spoke so softly I couldn't hear what he was saying - in the interview scenes specifically (which I thought could very well have been my hearing which is shot, but this season doesn't have that "feature")

I also noticed Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaghey are producers for season 3. Is that new? Or were they on season 2 as well. I don't really know if a producer has any role in a show other than financial, but I didn't notice that with season 2.
Season 1 may be the single greatest season of a TV series, ever.

Mahershala's back story in this is creepy AF.
How perfect was that final scene in Episode 1  
montanagiant : 1/14/2019 1:35 pm : link
Where he is following the trail. The tension they built with that was amazing
had no idea this was even happening.

I am behind on the times. I do have the theme song from the first season in my car.
