Hopefully they learned from the mess that was S2 that just having name actors won't get you by. It does feel from the trailer like they are doing a story more reminiscent of season 1 than whatever season 2 was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unJon Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Trailer looks really good. I’m starting to feel excited for this but know it’s likely I’m in for disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 It's going to be fairly easy to be better than season 2, they would have to try very hard to be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martini Sigil Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I would make a small wager that S3 will be terrific... I know that S2 was disappointing... but HBO is about as good a content creator/provider as there is.... I think they were probably waiting for the right script for S3.... and I doubt they want to throw away the franchise after S1 was so god,,, ....and Mahershala Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 That kinda makes me want to get HBO back as soon as I can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I think s2 was just a sophomore slump. I'm excited for s3 and much of it is Mahershala Ali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZLNYPG Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Really excited for this season. One was great, two was meh that had it's moments, but it was clearly rushed and vince vaughn was out of place in it. It was also pretty much going off of Ellroy's The Big Nowhere without being the Big Nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Reviews are starting to come out (critics were sent the first five episodes) and overall they are extremely positive of season 3; of the central mystery, of the tightness of the writing, and of Mahershala Ali's acting. Here's three (warning; there are some light spoilers): https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/1/2/18159472/true-detective-season-3-review-mahershala-ali https://variety.com/2019/tv/reviews/true-detective-season-3-review-mahershala-ali-1203096139/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/true-detective-review-season-3-1171882 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Bump only a couple more days now. Really looking forward to having something good to watch week to week again. Early reviews sound very positive. What would everyone prefer as far as spoilers? I can change the thread title if people don’t want to deal with using tags.

Ramsay B. Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I vote for spoilers, because having so many tags does get annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I hope its good, it may never reach the peak of season 1, it would be hard not to be better than the mess that was season 2, but, will it get the audience back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 They definitely threw in “watch the leather” for McConaughey, right? Stront start overall. Ali was great, and the tone and atmosphere feels much more like S1 without being too similar. The first episode kind of reminded me of the West Memphis 3 case. Missing kids on bikes, 3 teenage suspects that were outcasts and into metal, satanic stuff, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 Also, didn’t realize Jeremy Sauliner was involved with this season. I really liked Blue Ruin, and Green Room. Still need to see Hold the Dark. Seems like most were disappointed with that one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroclasticFlow Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 First two episodes were solid in my opinion. Ali really is doing an incredible job channeling his inner Rust Cole, with the thousand yard stare and all. Can’t wait to see how this all turns out with the case, and the time jumping, holy shit is it impressive. I’d say Pizzolatto and team have built themselves a firm foundation for this season.

unJon Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Coming here without reading anything to complain that I didn’t realize two episodes aired last night! I watched the first the. Assumed HBO was replaying it. Ugh. Now have to avoid spoilers until I get home from work tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I enjoyed the opening episodes. Definitely intrigued to see where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Relatively solid start. Miles above the start of Season 2, but I'm not quite as hooked as I was with Season 1. I'm not sure about having three timelines, I think two may have been better; though then the comparisons with Season 1 may have gotten too strong. The 1980 timeline has been far and away the most compelling for me and having it be broken up by two other timelines has been a bit too disruptive. Obviously I don't know how this'll all turnout, but so I think I'd have preferred if it was just 1980 and 2015 and at around midseason there's a jump forward so that it's 1990 and 2015. I've been on the lookout for references and connections to Season 1, and not just thematically. I've caught a few direct ones, I think, like the mention of spiral scandal, and I suspect I've missed a bunch of others. I'm curious if that's just easter eggs or if this is very directly going to tie together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
