Family was the thing

Guys, We got a great end to a great season. Sometimes a soft/subdued ending is better than a hardcore “guns are blazing” type ending. I think that the finale really focused on family: Hoyt – in his warped way, all he wanted to do was to help his daughter and...

True Detective Finale – Great Acting, Strangely Unsatisfying

Hello. I’m writing you because, of all the commentators I’ve seen, you seem most to combine intelligence with the experience to evaluate things in a realistic manner.
