Despite the negative backlash to season 2, I remain optimistic forTrue Detectiveseason 3. For one thing, I don’t even think season 2 wasthatbad. Was it as good as season 1? Absolutely not. Did it have flaws? It certainly did. But it also had some compelling stuff, primarily Rachel McAdams' highly engrossing performance. I think tone is what threw people off. Season 1 was going for more of a horror-movie vibe, while season 2 embraced pulpy, hard boiled tropes. Perhaps audiences were expecting season 2 to follow the same path as season 2, and when that didn’t happen, it caused a rift. Or hey, maybe people just really hate season 2.
In any case, season 3 has lined-up some great talent, which might help get things back on track. In addition to the cast,Blue RuinandGreen RoomdirectorJeremy Saulnierhas helmed two episodes, andDeadwoodcreatorDavid Milchco-wrote an episode. The premise, which jumps around in time, certainly looks to be a return to season 1’s style, which featured two very distinct timelines – one in the past, one in the present.
January is still a little way off, but in the meantime, you can take a gander at some new images featuring Ali, Ejogo and Dorff’s characters, all of whom seem to be sporting some very distinct wigs.
