True Detective. Anyone else sorry they put up with all 8 hours? Loved the first three episodes but by the end of the forth it all started to seem a bit puffed up and going nowhere. [More:]I was going to abandon it but foolishly didn't. The look was very good and the two leads were great but while we were told the tropes of the genre were going to be toyed with it turned out to be just another cop/buddy story (male and white natch) The misogyny was just misogynist and not an examination of anything at all really. The dense language turned out to be false profundity going no place.

If they give this another season I won't bother to watch.
I've watched all episodes but started to drift off after a few. The 'good acting' started to feel rather grating. Not to mention the ponderous philosophical remarks.
I was reminded of the series Lost in a way. With Lost the internet fandom came up with much more interesting explanations than the series. In True Detective they couldn't let all the clues lead somewhere either.
I agree they should just leave it at this. But we all know how tempting it is for networks to squeeze more from a series that has attention.

I've just watched Episode 3 and I'm enjoying it, mostly for Matthew McConaughey's performance. I'm going to stick with it, I think.

NO SPOILERS PLEASE!

We watched 2 episodes and loved them. Really do want to know if the rest of the series is worth the attention, though. Without spoilers, of course!

It starts to parody itself at some point, but the set for the climax is awesome.

Everything i want to say is kind of a spoiler.
