I thought True Detective season 3 rivaled season one in most ways. I liked the character of Rust Cohle better than any in season 3 but I really liked the two detectives in season 3 a lot and liked the roland character even better than woody harrelson character. I felt like the acting of Mahershala Ali was as good or even better than Matthew mcconaughey and there were many many great performances. I even felt like the dad (Tom Purcell) had some moments were he was better than everyone else. The story was really good and had me from the beginning to the end. I was a bit disappointed to find out that all this mystery, suspense, horror, and death was simply about a sad woman who had lost her mind and simply wanted her daughter back so badly that she took someone elses. Sad but nothing sinister like i was expecting and tbh hoping. There were some evil elements (what happened to lucy? Did she really OD or did the cop/security guy kill her? Did Tom really commit suicide? What happened to dan obrien? Cover ups by the higher ups in the Police Department) but nothing compared to season one. Season one was about pedophelia and meth cooking phsycos and a mentally unstable giant serial killer...... much more sinister and justification for all the death in the show. This one was more emotional no doubt but less thrilling in the end.
I still like season one better but season one might be my favorite bit of television of all time so thats not a knock on season 3. It was also one of the greats.
Cant wait for season 4 assuming they make another one.
