Rolling Stone is a literary street walker.

The much maligned Season 2 was significantly better than this one. How on earth would these cleaning ladies manage to escape detection? Were there no security cameras anywhere? More on point, scientists come and go to these types of research centers. The guys that were there six years ago would never be there now. The whole concept is ludicrous and beyond the suspension of disbelief. I can go on and on about how terrible this season was. In fact, I cannot think of anything good, although Jodie tried.

I don’t care what the sellouts over at Rolling Stone have to say about it.

I disliked the ending. The two female detectives were not only incompetent, they murdered a suspect (the abusive husband) and covered up every other murder we saw in the show. If the one lady had all her fingers they never would have never figured anything out. The audience had the benefit of the flashback where all the scientist murdered Annie but nobody except the scientist knew that. The cleaning lady found a murder weapon six years later and decides the best way to seek justice is murder all the scientist, then in doing so doesn't even catch the one most likely to have killed her (the one everyone suspected). The only decent person turned out to be the bar guy.[/quote]

Er...you know this is True Detective, right?  Morally ambiguous cops are a TD trademark.[/quote]

Nothing was ambiguous, they were all idiots and murderers. All the detectives either committed or covered up every murder that took place. The scientist encouraged pollution (because that's how you extract delicate DNA) and flew into a murderous rage butchering Annie. Not one was like "hey let's not kill this woman". The cleaning ladies find a screwdriver in a secret ice cave after six years and decide to murder every scientist in the station. The same ice cave that was right next to the station but the "True Detectives" couldn't make that connection even though they had a map of the location. The writing terrible and made no sense.[/quote]
