The Great War and Modern Memory

For all those that say season 3 of True Detective is a wannabe season 1 are just plain ridiculous! Of course it's got the same aspects (dark rural, troubled characters) that's what makes it TD . It would just be another cop show if it didn't keep the same theme. That's why nobody liked season 2 because they went away from the format

So, True Detective is back with its third season and so begins the 8-week journey of one of my most anticipated TV series in quite a while. We are in 3 different timelines. Wayne Hays and his partner exploring a missing child crime in the past, this same Wayne Hays being under observation of the police ten years later (quite like with Woody Harrelson & Matthew Mcconaughey in S1), and him in his very old days trying to remember details of the case.

So far, the Season is back with stunning cinematography and soundtrack. It's really fascinating how much work is put in todays television production value. The pacing is methodic, of course never really allowing us to see quite much, but having a twisted ending that'll pave the road for the following episodes.

And yet Mahershala Ali is the key element. Though there is still much to come from him in this series, he already gave an excellent performance in this opening pilot. His character is very much layered and nuanced, and he does a perfect job in showing this.

Looking forward to next week, True Detective has me hooked!

Whilst getting excited for this new season I ended rewatched season one AGAIN - Easily in the Top three of the greatest TV shows of all time - and one of the biggest reasons why season two suffered so much. It's interesting to see some of the creative decisions that have been made here, obviously some of th

This is it. This is expected from the cult series. The series, which is cult in every respect, justified the expectations of the first two episodes of the third series. Fantastic acting, characters in the series are even better, that's actually it

This season has the same vibe and attraction that made me love this show in the first place. If you are like me, then season 2 was nothing but a huge disappointment after the outstanding flow and cast of the first.
