Finally it's over. I feel like I just finished a really big essay, or went on a long run. I couldn't wait for this season to end. How do people decide that Season 2 is better than what I just finished watching? It had steady pacing, no plot holes, and stand out performances. It focuses on the investigation and doesn't reveal too much or too little throughout the 8 episodes. Season 3 was a story of flashbacks and flash forwards, half of which spent the time telling the story of the relationship between Wayne and Amelia. We see little investigation, a lot of relational arguing between partners, husbands and wives, and sons and fathers, dates, TV interviews, a man struggling to beat dementia, and a lot of repeated tropes from Season 1 because Pizzolatto obviously took some of the criticisms from 2 and reintroduced occult themes that really didn't pan out into anything. No one was really evil, just weird and lonely, no one ever got caught, everyone just got old. This season could have been a movie. What a painfully slow, boring 8 episodes of television. The show has only gone downhill.
