I rewatched True Detective Season 1 this week

Damn, what a fantastic show. The writing, directing, and acting may be the best ever for 1 season. I loved it all the way until the end and cant remember what the criticisms of it were. I don’t think it fizzled toward the end at all—I thought it maintained its quality all the way through. I thought the finale was great.
Didn’t Slow think it didn’t deliver on its “promise” of being somewhat supernatural or something? Wasn’t that his big fault with it? The only thing “supernatural” were Rust’s seeing things and tasting colors and he explained that by all the drugs he had to bring undercover in narcotics so long fricking up his brain, re-wiring it.
Anyway, I hadn’t seen it since it’s original airing, and thought it was amazing. I know people hated season 2, but what were the legit gripes with Season 1?

Alexandra Daddario didn't get naked more.

The show started off hot but really had a lot of unfulfilled promises. Just kind of limped to the finish line and became more predictable

The week to week watch of S1 was one of the best TV experiences. So much suspense .

Thought it really captures just how sad and depressing life in rural Louisiana is and how the people don’t even realize it.

I disagree completely. Can you be specific?

I don't know about limping to the finish line, but the show introduced the idea that there was a huge cult system operating throughout Louisiana. The show concluded with the serial killer and Carcosa. I think many were hoping to see the detectives save the world; instead, they stopped one killer and the cult's evil actions continue.
I liked the ending. Many didn't.

It was perfection. Fukunaga was a magician to craft a masterpiece out of what he was handed. Woody, Monoghan, and McConaughey were amazing.

i think one of peoples biggest gripes is they were flat out wrong on all their conspiracy theories, particularly marty or his father in law being involved with the cult.

Right, they stumbled upon a massive insidious cult type thing and they basically only catch 1 small part of it. The richer and people in power roles continue.
kinda like in season 2 the detectives basically get personal victories, but get smacked down in the big picture, I expect season 3 to be similar in this way.

I think I remember more people being unhappy with direction of last episode. The level of theorizing during initial broadcast was more fun than anything, and let the mind wander. Issues with theorizing usually only occurs when something subverts expectations that are completely outside of reason(TLJ).
TD1 was really a perfect storm of great things: Fukunaga's cinematography, the McConaissance, Pizzolatto's story, Harrelson and MM's on-screen greatness together, and my personal favorite of the blend of southern gothic with Lovecraftian. These things have turned out to be much more important in regards to time over the years rather than the way it ended, IMO.
I'm really excited for season 3, with Nick bringing it back to the South in the Ozarks. Hopefully he goes back to what made season 1 great with throwing some mythos in there, too.

My favorite part was the long scene in ep4 where they go on the gang B&E robbery

I watch that tracking scene on Youtube every now and then and it still amazes me...
Watching that live I think I was holding my breath....
To me... the scene where Rust is describing " the monster" Reggie Ledoux and he walks out with that gas mask and knife... and the screen cuts to black... that was as good as Tv gets and it gave me chills.

HBO.
or you can google watch true detective online free stream and probably find some probably virus infested site to watch it on. I do that a good bit.

No. I said in real time like episode 4 or so that they weren't going to wrap up the mystery that everyone was focusing on obsessively at that point. People said I was wrong and they would wrap it all up and then when the show didn't, people completely changed their tune and acted likek they never cared about the myster (a huge lie)
