True Detective: Just Another Disappointment
18 January 2024
When an episode starts with bad CGI, it's usually a sign that we're going to be watching low-budget trash. Considering this is True Detective, that's surprising, we're used to a good cast, an intriguing story, and excellent cinematography.

I thought this would be interesting, so my disappointment is even greater.

After the first episode, this seems like a completely different show than what we're used to. It looks like just another series that fits into "modern film production".

It's a pity, because the environment in which the show takes place is excellent and interesting, dark and cold, great for a good crime story. But the script is unfortunately bad, full of what we see in almost every new TV show or movie, and it has already become tiresome.

The male characters in this season are useless morons, incompetent and evil and only serve to make the main characters show them how they are better than them. Such things destroy any possibility of entertainment and frankly, they have started to have the complete opposite effect. Huge difference in quality between the first season and this one.

Jodie Foster is a good actress and it's a shame the script is this bad.

This could have been great, the characters could have been interesting, instead they are either stupid and evil or just plain annoying.

In short, the men in this season are stupid and evil, or incompetent and weak, and they don't even know how to do basic things. This is how writers write most of today's TV shows.

I watched one episode and that's it, I don't want to waste any more time on this disaster. It's a shame, it could have been great, it had a lot of potential, but in the end it turned out to be just another waste of time.
