You can't just take away that not all cases are as crazy as you hope for? I think the general audience has to have some outlandish twist or extremely difficult to figure out case to make them feel good about it.
This is not true at all. It was the writer of the show that introduced all of the mysteries and conspiracies, not fans. Fans were just reacting to the story that was being told.

What the hell are you talking about? The book falls. He picked it up with it opened to exactly how it fell. He wipes off the page, and immediately it goes to Amelia’s voice reading about Mike.
It’s pretty clear you are full of shite. You are one of those people that think you are smarter than everyone, therefore you know what really happened and what it all really meant. You believe you are so much smarter than everyone that you literally just made up some nonsense about a scene that was flat out silly, and pretty straightforward.
You just proved the point that even if something is clearly bad, people like you will find a way to defend it.

Oh my. Is the whole thing just too much for your tiny brain and you just exploded?
Did you beat your husband when you watched lost?

Could have been edited out.

I think Harris James paid pretty dearly for his roles in these things. He’s one of the biggest villains in the show.

Proving that all could have been explained easily but was overblown because the audience believed into a larger conspiracy that didn't really happen.
The more I think about it the more I love that they rope a doped us.
Back in the 80s there was mass hysteria in the US over devil worshiping child pedo sex rings that almost without fail ended up being overblown and nowhere near as sensational once the actual evidence came in.
The McMartin preschool trial was a HUGE deal and at one point was the most expensive criminal trial case in US history yet it turned out to be all a load of bullshite pushed by well intentioned people who drew wildly wrong conclusions from circumstantial evidence.
McMartin preschool trial
day care sex abuse hysteria
Honestly, I'm kind of kicking myself for not realizing that NP was laying the groundwork for the truth to end up being something far less horrifying the moment he included the part with the sex offender getting busted working at a day care near the start of the season.

Lol wut? People actually thought this? If anyone did that's on them for reading too many internet conspiracy theories. Nothing on the show leads you in that direction.

I'm up and nothing on TV...watching the episode again. The music during this episode keeps reminding me of something...
Finally figured it out. It's like Sin City, Frank Miller-style.
Anytime someone was driving or telling a story.

I heard the same thing the other day so you aren't totally crazy.
Also for the guy complaining about the true detective title....you would hate "The Wire" because it's not really about a wire.

The worst part is, the finale proved Hays and Roland are the worst detectives of all time
They allowed the crime to be pinned on an innocent war veteran
Then they allowed the crime to be pinned on a poor grieving father
But seriously, I bet weird things happens across America with detective and knowing some behind the scenes shite but they get stepped on due to the politics of some of these things unfortunately.

I was expecting when the son opened drawer to have it full of those exect notes. That Hays had solved it over and over and kept forgetting each time.
This would've been awesome. But instead of the son, it's Roland that finds them. Note that says the address and "Julie?" and Roland gets a look in his eye and the show cuts to black.

Um, it's a detective mystery story. That's part of the genre.
False leads, false theories, etc. That's part of the fun.

i just watched 8 hours of a 2x academy award winner playing a man who's mind is falling apart, his terrible marriage, failed relationship with his partner and it turned out that it was all because some rich crazy lady kidnapped a little girl and accidentally killed her brother and an entire family was destroyed and no one faced any consequences. there has to be a payoff to these kind of shows and i'm struggling to determine what that is in TDS3.
The story, with regards to the case, always revolved around Julie. Not sure how you say there's no payoff or you don't know what the payoff was when in the finale, we find that Julie is alive and doing ok. That's a pretty huge deal.

So you want spoon fed info with only one direction? Boring.
Seems the direction was getting from point A to point B in a pretty straight line, which would make for a far less interesting story.

Exactly. So when nothing that is introduced in the story gets addressed, I don’t need people coming in after the fact saying it wasn’t really a “detective mystery story”. That’s the point.
If everything in the show is a false theory or false lead, which is basically what happened, then what’s the point in watching. Nothing means anything.

Maybe you are just too stupid to watch these type of shows...
ETA: And kill someone on accident that could break open the case
