Wayne Died in the Finale

Hey Guys, I listen to a few TD3 podcasts, and nobody picked up on what I thought was a pretty clear allegory to Wayne’s death. In the 2nd to last scene, Amelia more or less come to “fetch” him with some dialog that could be interpreted in a few ways,...

The Watch

I enjoyed your deep dive on season 8, and was glad the three of you could point out so many strengths to the season and episode. I however did not enjoy the finale, but not because I did not appreciate the ending of the story, but because I found the...

TD S3E8: A Waste of Tinfoil

Hey Guys, Can I remind you guys that this is ‘True Detective’ not True Love or True Life… if the story’s mystery is a MacGuffin then we all wasted a lot of tinfoil over the last 7 episodes. I agree with your assessment of episode 8 -if we were watching...

Genius Season

Gentlemen, First, I just discovered your podcast and enjoyed the listen. So thanks for providing the content. I enjoyed season 3 of true detective. I feel like this is the best of the show. The acting by the four main characters has been off the charts, Mahershala Ali, Carmen Ejogo,...
