Season 3 of True Detective started on Sunday with a double episode premiere. Very pleased with the season so far, much more like season 1 than season 2.
Good to know. I just read an article that said critics gave it a favorable review, but that ratings were lower than season 2. Fwiw, I actually liked season 2 but am looking forward to season 3

Saw the first episode last night and it is very promising. Lower key and currently less weird than s.1 was after the first episode. More grim realism.
I love s.1 and I’ve seen it three times. but it wasn’t as amazing as a lot of people made out. The ending was underwritten and poorly conceived. Likewise, S.2 wasn’t as bad as everyone made out and the ending was heart wrenching.

Season 1 will be a near impossible act to follow. McConaughey and Harrelson were unreal. McConaughey won an Oscar that year and harrelso n couldnt have played that part better. That season haunts me.
“Wheeen the last light warms the rocks and rattlesnakes unfooooold.” Damn son!
But I am looking forward to this season

I detested Season 2 but loved Season 1.
A bit of a turn-off that Nic Pizzolatto famously plagiarized Thomas Ligotti (whose writing is an absolute ray of sunshine!). Would it have killed him to give Ligotti some credit? I don't get that, did he think he would get away with that?
I'll start Season 3 despite my misgivings, and am hopeful that the show gets back on track, minus the plagiarism.

He plagiarized in season 1? If that’s the case I want the person to get credit for
Their writing…. but season 1 is amazing regardless of who weots what -

The misanthropy of Rustin Cohle is where True Plagiarism occurred. The work "borrowed" from, Conspiracy Agaisnt the Human Race, is almost unreadably misanthropic and dire. You might feel like Marty enduring one of Rustin's melancholic rants reading the damn thing.

That’s funny. One of my favorite moments form that show is when Marty is impatiently waiting in the car for Rustin and he says “ who walks that fuckin slow?”

Read this today which shed a little light on TD S02. It's a post from a year ago, but Nic Pizzolatto apparently confirmed today on Twitter.

THE I.T. CROWD - don't even ask me why I've never watched it, I just don't know… I mean: written by Linehan (Black Books, Father Ted)... With Richard Ayoade...
Twelve minutes into the first episode and I know I'm gonna enjoy this...
Oooh, you have a fun time ahead of you!

You finished s.1?! So much promise but so little plot development. Gave up three episodes from the end ‘cos it EAs doing my head in.
Same. Suck, suck, and more suck

I’m sure, but that’s a mighty low bar. Its like a cavity filling being preferable to a root canal

So long as someone gets shot in the face or crushed by a falling piano once in awhile I’m pretty happy.
If I wanted to put more brainpower into things I’d read a book (I only read nonfiction) and learn something or get back to work and make $.
My job requires me to be creative and think most of my day, so getting out of my head for a bit is requisite.
