Let's talk about True Detective seasons 2 and 3 (total spoilers ahead)

I spent the past two days binge watching both seasons (3 and then 2). I saw s1 4 or 5 years ago.

Season 1 was probably top 10 if not top 5 TV kino for the whole decade. I don't think much discussion is warranted on that one.

Season 2 - What the frick was that ending? It felt like they killed both of them without much of a reason and there was no payoff. They still could have reasonably done this if there had been some sort of payoff, but there wasn't. Every single moid main character was killed off, along with most of the minor ones, and the girlbosses were the only ones that survived. I don't actually think this was a woke thing, just weird writing. Plus all the usual complaints about the directing and general midness of the whole thing. Pre-sobriety Ray is literally me though, and Vince Vaughn urban warfare was fun at times.

I did notice that the raven mask character and several of the plot points surrounding him and otherwise in the show seemed to be lifted straight from the Hotline Miami vidya franchise.

Season 3 - Return to form. First half felt almost as good as season 1, but the 3-layer simultaneous separate timelines felt excessive and confusing at times and I wasn't as happy with the second half. The bipoc main character was fine and didn't feel forced. Grace Gummer's (I assume everyone here has seen Mr Robot) sister is in it and their faces are similar enough that I briefly thought it was her. Overall pretty good but not as good as season 1. The dementia stuff was kinda mid but they mostly pulled it off and the fake death was decently done as a plot twist, if not in actual delivery.

Season 4 - Haven't started. I'll probably binge it at some point after the entire thing is available online, mostly because of gilfmode Jodie Foster (she has aged impeccably).

Are S2 and 3 worth watching at all or can i just rewatch the 1st and then the 4th?

The 2nd is more like a typical cop drama than the rest; there's less time-skipping and maybe-supernatural-maybe-not shit than the 1st and the 3rd. The 3rd feels much more similar to the 1st. I know nothing about the 4th. Watch the 2nd if you like cop-themed dramaslop and the 3rd if you really liked the spookiness of s1 and are willing to settle for something less good but passable.

2 is worth it just to understand Vinceposting. 3 is good if you like shit. Sucks because it seemed like it would be great at first.

Speaking of that, I appreciated that they threw in a scene next to Arkansas Nuclear One (see my pronouns)

YESSS, the first half was so much better than the second half for reasons that I can't fully articulate.

Part of it is that the mysteries ended up being smoke and mirrors or moronic asspull bullshit, so it was kind of a show about a dude with dementia with a bunch of useless horseshit added for decoration. But yeah it's hard to pinpoint all the tardedness.

Sorry, my question was poorly worded. I meant was it worth watching them despite the somewhat shitty reviews?
