True Detective - Season 3
The criminal chain goes back to a wide range of investigations during the third season, when the disappearance of a young boy from Arkansas and his sister in 1980 gave rise to lively memories and constant questions about retired investigator Wayne Hays, who had the case 35 years ago with his partner Roland West . What began as a routine condition becomes a long journey to dissect and understand the crime.

The long-awaited third season... re-commits to the mood of the first - in ways that both satisfy and frustrate.
January 14, 2019
A show as distinctive as this is easy to parody; and easily falls into self-parody. Time is a flat circle, and so on.

Saulnier's influence will be missed, but still, with Ali's compelling lead performance and a captivating new mystery, True Detective has its mojo back.
January 13, 2019
While I appreciate Mahershala Ali's solid performance and the technical excellence of this gorgeous production, there is no sense of urgency or connection. Everyone is sleep walking through the case.

I wondered what I would think if neither of the previous seasons had existed, and I realized-I probably wouldn't be thinking about it at all.

People aren't going to freak out about this the way they did about the first two seasons, for better or for worse. But judging from the Season's Three opening one-two punch, they're apt to quiet down and listen.

Season three marks a quasi-return to safety, albeit one that's needlessly more complicated and predictably dour.
January 02, 2019
"True Detective" is good again, and that alone is worth celebrating.
January 11, 2019
Despite the shadowy distractions, "True Detective" is a solid procedural led by a faceted leading performance.
January 02, 2019
But despite a tremendous lead performance from Mahershala Ali, it doesn't quite reach the heights of Season 1, either. More than anything, it feels unnecessary, hitting the same self-consciously grim notes we've seen plenty of times before.
