True Detective 1.3


Probably the least impressive episode so far, but is still head and shoulders above everything else on TV at the moment. First half had a lot of screentime devoted to the Hart marriage, while was absorbing but hardly new information. Rather it confirms what we suspect about Martin Hart and his values. So, good as it was, it felt like needless repetition. Annoying when time is so short on this show. The rest of the episode - with focus on Cohle, and big developments in the murder case - was as flawless as episodes one and two. 10/10
