So, True Detective is back with its third season and so begins the 8-week journey of one of my most anticipated TV series in quite a while.
We are in 3 different timelines. Wayne Hays and his partner exploring a missing child crime in the past, this same Wayne Hays being under observation of the police ten years later (quite like with Woody Harrelson & Matthew Mcconaughey in S1), and him in his very old days trying to remember details of the case.
So far, the Season is back with stunning cinematography and soundtrack. It's really fascinating how much work is put in todays television production value. The pacing is methodic, of course never really allowing us to see quite much, but having a twisted ending that'll pave the road for the following episodes.
And yet Mahershala Ali is the key element. Though there is still much to come from him in this series, he already gave an excellent performance in this opening pilot. His character is very much layered and nuanced, and he does a perfect job in showing this.
Looking forward to next week, True Detective has me hooked!
