True Detective returns to solid form in a visually pleasing and well-acted third season, however, it struggles to reach the same philosophically enlightening storytelling that was present in the first season, and it often delves into the personal lives of our main detectives rather than fully focusing on the mystery.
-
Quite a gripping watch with that had me tending to binge-watch. I had wondered if the series would be a one-hit-wonder with season 1 but S3 has revamped my interest and made me enthusiastic for the fourth instalment.
-
Season 3 was better than Season 1. The story was way better, the acting was very strong--Ali was incredible. McConaughey's acting was probably more memorable in Season 1 but the characters in Season 3 were way more relatable and likable and the acting was still top notch. Haven't seen Season 2 yet because everyone says its bad, but after Seasons 1 and 3, I doubt it can be that bad.
-
.Some stand out performances by its two main detectives though still not as good as the first series. Good cinematography with well thought artistic transitions linking the scenes set in the past and present. The ending does fall a little flat but it's definitely worth a watch.
-
Unfortunately they could not keep the very high quality of the show. I don not like the cast.
-
Tiring, slow and melodramatic. The mojo is officially gone for good.
-
For all the talk about how great Season1 was, Season 3 is better.
-
Better than season 2 but still not close to as good as season 1. Season 3 was just soooo boring.
-
Maintained the high production quality and storytelling of the first 2 seasons. A well told mystery.
-
A Little Better In What's On Offer To The Second Installment, This Third Installment Feels More Confident In What It Is Doing. The Fresh Faced Acting Adds Weight To What Is On Offer. Builds With Real Intensity & Depth. Has Many Levels To Where The Story Goes, But Again, Cannot Quite Live Up To The Original.
