If True Detective was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Even the popcorn looked bored during True Detective.

True Detective has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Hot Take: True Detective's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Just got out of True Detective and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Unpopular opinion: True Detective is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched True Detective last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in True Detective?
Director clearly thought True Detective was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
