From the true-crime bleakness to the unnerving supernaturalism, there are more than enough chilling elements for our leads to chip away at over the next five episodes. With a snowy tundra and a severed tongue, True Detective Sundays are officially back.
Creepy, gorgeous, unsettling, and searching, it has--for lack of a better word--a literary quality, an accretion of meaningful detail. You can push on any aspect of the show--every line, every shot, every bruise--and it bears up.

the series that is. The problem of the third season was that it made us watch a lie, just like European art cinema. While there were children who had escaped and lived peacefully where they escaped, for years we thought that these children were captured by perverts. When the result was different, we couldn't say "oh, wow, I wish the perverts had caught it" so we said, So why did I watch this useless story?"
In the last season, the situation is much worse. It's truly a disaster. This is not because of the concept of the supernatural, but because there is no good in our story that we can empathize with. I don't understand why they write these evil characters because they think that since these Americans have really turned into these creatures, they can only empathize with them. I wouldn't care if it wasn't a serial killer but a supernatural force, or if it slaughtered all these people.
At times there’s so much going on that the series almost loses its way — but then there’s another great jump-scare or an intricately staged set piece in the abandoned lab or beneath the ice, and we’re all in. Foster keeps peeling back layers to reveal different sides of Danvers, while relative newcomer Reis proves to be a formidable acting partner.
The new season of True Detective is, especially given the burden of expectations, remarkably solid. It’s not a belly flop. It lacks the obvious hook of its predecessor, but I still am eager to see how it develops.
Even though it’s been a heady year since the first thrilling installment and the season runs but eight episodes, something feels undercooked about this production.
Whatever the length of the show’s much admired tracking shot (six minutes, uncut!), it feels less hardboiled than softheaded. Which might be O.K. if True Detective were dumb fun, but, good God, it’s not: it’s got so much gravitas it could run for President.
From the great Duo Acting to the way the story is filmed and told, everything is perfect. Season 1 is the place the entire series picked and nothing else can go against it. I don't want to spoil but you should definitely watch it since its one of the best detective dramas yo will ever watch.
"True Detective—Season 1" is one of my favorite TV series of all time. The story, the actors performances, the ambient, the music—everything is a masterpiece. I strongly recommend
The 1st and 2nd season were incredible, then it got worse and worse (similar to Fargo). The last season is simply a joke. Absolutely boring story and uninteresting characters (especially the woke pollce **** ridiculous end is a hit in the face of the audience. Big waste of time.
Little more than a tragically overfunded TikTok video, horrible horrible horrible. Bad directing, bad editing, idiotic heavy handed music placement, nonexistent story. Just awful considering you have Jodie Foster, Fiona Shaw and the long cold night to work with … seriously, this is what you made!? Miserable inane drek!
