True Detective Delivers in Miniseries Finale
The HBO miniseries True Detective ended last night.
My wife and I enjoyed the clever and compelling miniseries and I thought Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson offered fine performances, as did the supporting cast.
I look forward to seeing what new detectives and plot the producers and writers offer next season.
Sara Stewart at the New Post offers a view of the season finale:
Finally, the truth can be told (many spoilers below!): the real villain of “True Detective” is… HBOGo.com, which crashed epically as the much anticipated finale of the eight-episode miniseries was set to begin.
Irate web viewers aside, the last installation of the brilliant detective noir did not disappoint, delivering a baddie of mythical proportions and a satisfyingly philosophical coda for former partners Rustin Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson).
It even offered a rather inarguable explanation for its failure to address the entirety of the conspiracy theories floated along the way (the Tuttle ministry and family! Maggie’s father! What happened to Audrey?): “We ain’t gonna get ‘em all. That ain’t what kind of world it is.”
