The shoot out scene in the projects where Rustin was undercover to me is the best scene in television history. Great shite.

On my first watch I was disappointed in the last couple episodes of S1

On rewatch they dont bother me as much

E1-5 were about the best television I have ever seen though

2 ...

I've never been so freaked out by a cop-type show before. Great 1st season. The failed drug robbery had my heart pumpin'. Really shot well. 2 could have been so much better. Are they still doing a 4th?

Do yourself a favor and ignore the temptation to watch season 2. It's got a big-name cast but it was truly awful.

It was so bad I couldn’t ever start season 3. You think it would be hard for the performances to be more depressing than the subject matter of a True Detective season, but they managed to pull it off.

I had to quit watching Season 2 so this thread caused me to look up the plot yesterday. Wow! What a steaming confusing pile of crap.

I loved Season 1 as well.

The Louisiana setting contributed to me liking it twice as much.

Hated season two but I enjoyed season 3. Definitely wouldnt say it's awful.

Fair enough. Still getting a downvote though

I’m very jealous of you getting to watch that for the first time. The greatest season in television history.

2 kinda sucks. 3 is ok but doesn’t approach the greatness of 1

I never watched all of it either.

The whole story of the overweight wimpy son of Colin Farrell's character, was like watching Vice Principals. It just distracted from the show.
