True Detective threads are always just a massive circlejerk echochamber so here's a bit of criticism.

I don't enjoy tv shows, so everybody recommended me the first season of TD because it's more of a "mini-series", not a tv show for them.
Well for me the experience was exactly like any other tv show, unenjoyable.

The primary focus is on the written narrative and nothing else, the repetitive structure, countless establishing shots and shots of a car entering a location, countless "let's go to a bar for a beer" exposition dialogues, every episode has to end with a cliffhanger, every episode has one big moment where it all builds up to, countless twists and turns which result in a total disinterest in who is the actual killer by the end of the season etc

Like any other tv show.
After the fifth episode I had to make myself watch the rest of the season, I didn't even care who is the killer after all the edgy twists and turns, I just wanted it all to end. Most of the time you don't even have to look at the screen, the back to back camerawork in dialogues get's so overused that you can basically just listen to the conversation without even watching the screen and grasp all the information you need because the written narrative is the main thing here, while in film it's the visual narrative.
So I stick to film.

Unironically the best season of a television drama since the Wire.
