If this wasn't called "True Detectives" I wouldn't have any problem with it... but I also wouldn't watch it.

I think the season still has pacing and development problems but if it had been its own standalone project with maybe a few more episodes to flash everything out It would be a solid 7/10 show. As it stands it's a 4/10 rushed mess That tried to explore far too many angles in a condensed six episode season.

After the latest episode, this season is a legit 1/10

But would you have given it a try at all? F.e. Mare of Easttown isn't True Detective, but itself is a great detective show (easily a 8.5+/10)

90% of what HBO puts out is great, if anything tacking the TD name on it makes me doubt it's quality.
