You just described a better ending than we got.

I didn't watch since Ryno told me the ending 3 weeks ago

People are really upset with the finale? I thought it was amazing. I don't get some of y'all.

Tom was the reason we cared about this story. He was the embodiment of grief and injustice and he died trying to find his daughter. Roland should have gone with hays to find Julie and told her how much her dad loved her.
Yeah, wtf. Absolutely zero payoff for the Roland - Tom friendship.

What was the point of The very last scene of military wayne in the jungle?
What am I missing?

This is my biggest problem with the finale and hays not talking to Julie about Tom
What would have been the gain at that point? Its clearly a miracle that this girl who who went through so much has managed to have a seemingly normal life. If he even explains who he (Hays) is yet alone the complexities of her real parents it could re open wounds that just didnt need to be.
Wayne for the entire show just wanted to be sure that Julie was safe and he saw that not only was she safe but she also seemed to have been made whole.

My biggest question is when police were investigating Harris James disappearance, they wouldn't ask for Hoyt's surveillance showing he was being tailed?
Huge plot hole for me.

o, did they just skip over what happened to Amelia?
I assume a huge red herring. We all focused on her death; how, when, who, because of the book, because of Hays, etc etc.
We all fell for it. She just died evidently.

Tom Purcell was the most sympathetic character in this season. NOTHING for him as far as closure. Have Wayne tell his daughter that her father loved her and never stopped looking for her.
Something.
They were SO close to making a great show. Just missed, tho.

Forgot to mention, the scenario that ultimately gave us the ending of Wayne finding Julie, was a book falling on the ground, somehow falling open right to the page about Mike, then Wayne’s ghost wife explaining it all to him. This literally happened. This is how we found Julie Purcell.
So all he had to do was read the book 25 years ago. But they kept making the point that he never read it and wouldn't read her next best seller either.

Maybe I shouldn't have read much on the theories as I was watching, because this ending sucked.

The entire episode I was waiting for it to be revealed that this was a repeating cycle. That Hayes' has done this over and over and over again.
This would have been better and actually make sense. frick this show.

This guy cant bring home the ending to a season. It wasnt awful imo, but I was hoping for a home run and got a base on balls.

Loved the scene in the car when Roland and Wayne are on the way to hoyts old place and they kept changing ages. That was bad arse.
What? They changed aged numerous times all season. That was just more gardage filler to show us what we've already seen. That's bad writing.

What about the woman that was by Lucy’s side for everything after the disappearance? She showed Amelia a picture, then gave her a different picture, and it wasn’t even mentioned tonight.
And the couple w a black man and white woman was Junius and Isabel, I guess?

Good series. Started off quite strong. Ending was disappointing. Just too straight forward. You had the vast majority of this figured out by the middle of the series.
For being so straight forward and obvious they left too many loose ends. They really could have had a better ending just by having Hays having been through this several times already and Roland placating him.
I’d give it a 7 out of 10. I liked it, but in the end was left wanting.
One question though. Why does Hays’ son place the address in his pocket at the end?

Underwhelmed by true detective once again, this show will never come close to s1 again sadly

SPOILERS
You follow Josh Brolin around for 3/4 of the movie, convinced that he is the main character. And then it is casually revealed that he was killed off-camera by the Mexicans. You catch a glimpse of his body, and then that's all. Moving on. That's the reveal - that EVERYONE is expendable and nothing matters.
In TD, we similarly find that shitty life is shitty life. Even when we get to the precipice of SOME redemption, dementia (a very real thing) fricks it up.

As someone else mentioned, I think that sort of plays into one of the themes with the reporter and his wife. We live in this age where we have so much access to information. We think everything has to be deeper, there has to be more, there has to be a cover up/conspiracy. Having a microphone and an internet connection can make anyone a "reporter". We have podcasts like Serial, S-town, and In the Dark that all make great stories from the comfort of our cars/couches because it makes people feel like detectives. In the end, the truth often turn out to be much simpler than our collective minds dream up.
