‘A Waste Of 8 Hours’ And 35 Other Things People Are Saying About True Detective’s Season Finale
Wife: something smells like poop in here. Me: that show we just watched took a crap in our entire house. #truedetective
By Daniel Hayes
Tonight’s episode wrapped up season two of True Detective, a series that received a ton of critical and viewer love during it’s first season. Reception of season two’s storytelling style, casting, and script have left many viewers seemingly disappointed and, in some cases, completely confused as to what even happened in each episode. Of course it does have its fans as well, including me.
Some spoilers ahead. People that hated it are at the top. There’s a lot of them. The TD2 lovers are down below.

#TrueDetective finale is like watching ur child's school play. You know it won't be good, but you're too invested in the actors not to watch

S2 of #TrueDetective felt like watching an 8-hour 1940s noir flick. Good but so depressing.
