Back into the darkness...
After taking a break from the bleak minimalist atmosphere to explore the sunshine noir settings of California in season 2, True Detective is back to the basics, and in proper form. Writer/Creator Nic Pizzolatto took the extra writing time HBO provided to craft another partner based, time-shifting, and cynical mystery crime story for this 3rd outing. While not quite reaching the heights of the long-baked first season, this particular story is following closely in line. Revolving around 2 detective’s search for 2 missing children, we cross a lot of seedy characters, and even take a moment to explore an incredibly interesting red herring, but everything provided to the viewer is always in question as the detective telling us this story is an unreliable narrator, suffering from dementia/Alzheimer’s disease in his later years. This season will leave you guessing all the way until the very end, and even then you may not reach the proper conclusions - this season is hefty and ambiguous, though only a few tiny unimportant threads are left untied at the end. If you dug season 1 and crave more after the short comings of season 2, this will make up for it in spades. I truly hope to see more True Detective in the future, this particular season did feel like it was a little too late to redeem itself after leaving the door closed for so long after upsetting fans in season 2, but Nic Pizzolatto has a plan to bring the story full circle if given a fourth season, and I personally would love to see that happen after seeing what was done with season 3.

Great counterpart to Season 1
This anthology series finally connected itself with Season 1. Season 3 was shot for the most part in my hometown which makes me a little bias on it seeing so many familiar landmarks. The story itself as it jumps through 3 decades really is done well. I think the story in general is reminiscent of things that happen all the time in government and with people with power. Lots of cover ups. Anyways I think the performances from Ali & Dorff are award worthy. Just watch it if you like gritty detective stories.
