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

This review of mine is for the entire third season. The third season takes place in the Ozarks. Two detectives investigate the disappearance of two children. The story is told in three separate time periods n Mahershala Ali nailed it with the three get ups n acting. Ali's mesmerizing performance is one of the reason to enjoy this third season.

In 1980, a brother n sister go out to meet their friend on cycles but they do not return. Detective Wayne Hays (Ali) and his partner Roland West (Stephen Dorff) organize a search.

In 1990, the unsolved case is reopened n Hays wants to know y.

In 2015 Hays is being interviewed for a true crime television program.

The first episode starts very similar like the first season involving ritualistic killings. Was kinda happy to c Stephen Dorff aft a long time. The guy is very underrated. In this series he got into the character n gave a memorable performance.

Director Jeremy Saulnier famous for claustrophobic n grim independent horror films like Green Room n Blue Ruin retained the same feel. Comparison is inevitable but the first episode succeeded in retaining the attention. Even the second season wasn't bad. Mayb most fellas (including myself) prefer the rural settings compared to the urban ones.

Ali is wearing Casio AMW320R-1EV. I love good watches n boots.

While i still think many misunderstood and overly hated the underrated season 2 in all of its complexity, you can tell creator/writer/mastermind; Nic Pizzolatto went back to what worked most effectively in the classic season 1. He focused on similar themes and overall story delivery of s1 and implemented that style in this season 3 so far. The story pulls you in from the start with incredible acting and developed characterization by Mahershala Ali, Stephen Dorrf, and Scoot McNairy. The haunting settings and mysterious imagery is magnificently shot and utterly captivating with the keen eye of director Jeremy Saulnier. The writing by Pizzolatto is once again fantastic and genius, and I'd really love to see another full length feature film written by him in the future. To go along with all of these great aspects is an enthralling and chilling soundtrack full of atmosphere that compliments the events extremely well. Overall I knew this would be a solid intro episode, but I'm very surprised at just how excellent it was and cannot wait to see how everything comes to light.

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

For all those that say season 3 is a season 1 wannabe , are ridiculous! Of course it's gonna be like season 1 ( dark, troubled characters) that's the theme of True Detective.. If it was anything other it would just be another cop show and not under the True Detective umbrella.
