[@EricMacLise]

This is one of the more underrated seasons of television imo

[@jmansfield8554]

True Detective, in general, was some solid storytelling.

[@agentsmith7947]

Why do you think it's underrated

[@user-od9ki3np1k]

Season 1 you mean…

[@Lionboyyy326]

@@user-od9ki3np1khow is season 1 underrated? It’s highly acclaimed.

[@user-od9ki3np1k]

what are we arguing about here? Merely emphasising my love for season 1. All the acclaim in the world isn't enough :)@@Lionboyyy326

[@kylerokeh1089]

Mahershala Ali was obviously spectacular but I gotta give some props to Stephen Dorff as well. Great performance. And that dog scene had me crying too

[@mrp1924]

Ya Stephen Dorff’s a real good actor, can’t wait for his next movies.

[@dantae88]

I like the idea that he keeps solving the same crime over and over

[@Zegeebwah]

Very underrated season. More people need to watch this one.

[@stop736]

Stephen Dorff was outstanding in this show. Just his eyes and expressions alone show so much emotion!

[@NekoHibaCosplay]

Anyway, Stephen Dorff shared the screen with both Blade actors now and I can't get over this fact 🤣

[@youcantbeatk7006]

Sticky Fingaz?

[@user-gl2pn7uh7i]

oh shiiiit he was frostt

[@NekoHibaCosplay]

@@user-gl2pn7uh7i yesss, for being 50 years old now he's still pretty fresh (no pun intended)

[@bloodzerox20]

​@youcantbeatk7006 I totally forgot Sticky Fingaz was Blade for a bit 😂

[@yairwayyikkana8542]

​@@youcantbeatk7006 lol

[@carl_weatherzzz7386]

It's unbelievable how much suffering Tom, the Dad, went through. That poor man was broken and murdered.

[@n543576]

I remember Woodard's arc and it genuinely broke my heart. He didn't deserve what happened to him, this whole season just constant hurt me in a very deep way I didn't know a crime show could do. I love season one it's an incredible piece of media in general but to me (sense I haven't seen season 4 yet) THIS was the best season so far.

[@anthonycamarillo3922]

Yes but wasn’t Woodard hiding something he was carrying something covered that looked like a body🤔

[@seven3962]

this series was really beautiful and nobody gives it a chance

[@alexbond3812]

So good the mix between old and young felt jumbled like his mind very cool

[@michaellam9819]

Fine I literally just finished season 1 and watched the recap of season 2. I'm 19 seconds into this recap when I saw your message. I'll report back soon

[@seven3962]

@@michaellam9819 i hope you enjoy!

[@robsnow2099]

Amazing season…wow. This recap brought it all back.

[@videosbaisam]

It ambiguous but I always thought at the end he did wasn't actually having dementia and did recognize Julie, he was just playing it off to not worry Julie that she had been found

[@kkklll986]

I thought the same

[@thomasalexanian927]

Interesting theory

[@MikeMachAttackJenkin]

just finished up season 3 and it did feel like he was thinking about whether to say something or not

[@ldm673]

No because then he wouldn't have kept her address for the son the find. He would've binned it.

[@MikeMachAttackJenkin]

@@ldm673 Another comment somewhere addressed it pretty well noticing music changes sensing the discovery of him realizing it and being in peace then opening up the wound again.

[@TheRealTwixy]

If only he read the damn book

[@sarlaccstapeworm990]

Season 3 took certain aspects that they'd used in season 1 and just ran with em'. Like the nonlinear style of storytelling, and making at least one of the detectives from each of those seasons have a specialized career field somewhere in their past, that gave them the potential to contribute more to their respective cases than just the average law enforcement officer ever could. I would've liked to be able to see Wayne and Rust team up on something. Both of those men were willing to go to their graves fighting tooth and nail to find and/or protect an innocent child. Stephen and Woody were the PERFECT partners in relation to those characters too. Although honestly, between the four of them, they could have mixed and matched them up in any way you could think of (partner wise), and it would've wound-up being some truly masterful performances. 👍

[@josephbacon7493]

I thought the ending scene meant Wayne’s mind was still trapped in the jungle in Vietnam and that Time is a flat circle for Wayne.

[@Based_Stuhlinger]

Great way to end it imo.

[@dannyknightblade4592]

Great recap of this underrated third Season of True Detective.

[@etherd]

Thank you for the video. I tried watching the episodes but it could not keep me invested with all the jumping around.

[@jokotri2186]

I remembered season 3 was better than season 2, but holy shit I have forgotten the plot. Thanks for the recap

[@baxatakbaxatak2014]

Only problem I had with season 3 was it wasn’t season 1. Nothing ever will be though. Season 3 brought the fans back with gripping episodes and characters, and best of all, made us forget season 2.

[@Dboy21ish]

Thanks for the recaps.

[@fintan9218]

My issue with this season is they were going an obvious direction and the end its like they chickened out and didnt want make it about what it was clearly intended to be. I remember that was when real world conspiracies were making the news and it seemed like they didnt want to play into it. Unfortunate, as the ending really detracted from what could have been better than season one.

[@immy2878]

Excellent rearrangement and recap.

[@Misterrecaps29]

Nice Recap 👍

[@danialmakhan]

Huge improvement from season 2

[@Based_Stuhlinger]

I try to forget about Season 2's existence...lol.

[@bringmebedard]

Fantastic season of television

[@nickporter574]

I thought this season was fantastic. It had this certain quality to it that is unique. Ali is a great actor but everyone else did great too!

[@mannycuellar7426]

Great recap 👍👏

[@JoeelsChannel]

Great season , so far 3 episodes deep into Night Country and it just doesn't hit the same . I hope it gets better , i love true detective

[@og3dkooz381]

I'm about to start it. Everyone is negative about everything, so idk how this is going to go. People hate season 2 but I loved it so idk..

[@sheadupree252]

@@og3dkooz381 season 4 is great. people just want to hate stuff

[@alisterfolson]

Someone in the comments from another video said Wayne died on that porch, surrounded by his loved ones. And, that the dementia finally took him because the case was keeping his mind active. When the case closed, he "closed" too. TLDR: the ending was subjective.

[@TheBenwardy]

9:00 i always had the belief that Hayes faked his Dementia episode so he would have a reason to talk to Julia without causing issues, Hayes would finally get his answer, everyone will dismiss it and Julia would be none of the wiser.

[@NekoHibaCosplay]

I need a recap for The 100 and for The Magicians :(

Bro I'm disappointed in myself for just now learning about this show

Change playback speed to 1.25x, or even 1.5x if your feeling frisky

[@MichaelRose87]

This season is great. Not as great as S1, but great nonetheless

[@Based_Stuhlinger]

I think it would be worse if they tried to out do the first season.

[@dme1016]

What happened to his wife?

[@eleanorstang08]

I thought the thumbnail was from a SNL skit

[@takeshikitano3176]

who killed dan o brian( uncle of children)?

[@belloutdoors5217]

The dad

[@fatherandsontrainingyou5232]

I watched season 1 for 1st time 10 days ago.. Its good, got me wanted to watch it instantly, all 8 episodes... Brutal, shocking.. American style.. Lots of weirdoes and sins.. Than i started this 3 season cauze i read that 2 is bad... Watched 2 episodes this two days... Ali is acting like he is piano man still from Green book, like someone pushed him to act here and he so not wanna... even move like that, nothing close to make u think he is some Rambo stuff Vieatnam vet, he looks like he will slip and fall in some ofroad place, looks loke he cant find moon on a full moon night, confuzed, making some faces unexplanable.. Dorf is like copy of Billy bob thornton, i mean, dont know if story will be good but this is sad... And again everyone is smoking cigarettes and drinking beer so false looking.. Dialogs between 2 main are like they are on smack and cant make sense in one line.stupid pauses, and more stupid when they talk.. Black female is classic stereotype- hair, story.. Not good acting.. Only acting so far is father of those children..

[@Based_Stuhlinger]

The last good TD series.

[@240hash]

How did they fuck up night country so badly?

[@Based_Stuhlinger]

Woke garbage by a different writer.

[@kalduways11]

I just finished watching and i got a question that's bugging me. Did Wayne ever tell Roland about this call? If not then why even after they got old?

[@Widderic]

Everyone said this was better than Season 2 and I was SO BORED the entire time.

[@marioben7]

well, this season was boring, but season 2 was unwatchable, now you tell me which one is worse

[@Widderic]

@@marioben7 Idk, I liked Colin Ferrel. I like how it had an unhappy ending. Season 3 felt like a 10 hour movie.

[@Eaglesinthe732]

I’m sure I’m in the minority here but S3 was a snooze fest. I loved S1 and S2, despite a lot of people not liking 2, but S3 draaagggedd for me. I have to watch this recap bc it was that forgettable

[@grantg4138]

So Julie had HIV and died? But really she didn’t?

[@belloutdoors5217]

No the nuns told people she died to protect her.

[@mauiskywalker808]

Everyone is missing the fact that the Hoyt Family is connected to the Tuttles. It will all come together. People are so stupid.

[@Sjrick]

How many times do we need to see him and his wife talk scene after scene ? Also how many times do we need to see him and his partner drive in car ? Time after time. I understand why this show gets a bad rap. They leave thing undone. Season 2, the bad guy gets away with it. The same with this season. This show is desperately trying to be like Fargo but is failing miserably. There is just too much waste. This easily couldve been a 6 part series. And you have a great actor Michael Rooker just shoot one scene with him in the woods ? Was that scene even needed ? There are so many bad scenes. I really dont look forward to Season 4 but i need to finish this. I dont expect much. Wish me luck.

[@user78554]

wife was better detective than them lmao this season was a joke

[@belloutdoors5217]

You're just too stupid to understand the story

[@josephgana5746]

The Only Season that comes close to Season 1, this is a great season, not Perfect like season 1, but its Damn Good, cuz 2, n 4 are HORRIBLE, but again This is AWSOME season 3

[@nanasakvarelidze9148]

Season 3 was the most dissapointing

[@yuikol14]

Had to stop mid episode 4 it was so boring. Glad I watched this video, that's such a dumb plot.

[@ldm673]

That Amelia character was extremely irritating. Her voice and her egotistical character. Hated every moment she was on the screen. It's clear she's English putting on an American accent but she never change the English tone and pronunciations. Awful just awful. And looked about 50 even when she is only first dating Wayne

[@cjfoley5]

This season should’ve got the hate season 2 did. It was trash
