Season 3 Reviews

Brian Tallerico
I just wanted a moment when the characters caught their breath and didn't feel like they were part of an overly-scripted machine. Now, having said that, this is still engaging, dark, complex material, anchored by a great performance from Ali.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Ellen Gray
[Mahershala Ali's] take on Hays enhances rather than overwhelms a story intriguing enough to justify the show's 35-year timeline.
Hollywood Reporter
Josh Wigler
Whatever the outcome of the Purcell case, expect it to involve someone who simply cannot let go of what's come before - both in the context of the story's universe, as well as the larger narrative of the creative mind weaving the True Detective tale.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Season three powers through with wonderfully dense visuals, a layered story and an absolute powerhouse performance by Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali.
Vanity Fair
Sonia Saraiya
The season had its moments, but it felt more like a vehicle for delivering a type of experience than a discrete story divided into eight installments. What's good about this show is almost entirely eclipsed by what doesn't work.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
True Detective falls prey to a slightly milder case of misogyny than afflicted it in season one.
NPR
Eric Deggans
I thought "True Detective" was dead in 2015 after a disastrous second season starring Colin Farrell. But there's life in this show yet, so long as the story's tied to a mesmerizing performance by a master actor playing a singular character.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
It's an ambitious and imperfect work, beautiful and corny, believable and less believable by turns. I recommend it, with advisories.
The Atlantic
Spencer Kornhaber
The criteria by which Season 3 should be judged is whether Pizzolatto lived up to his aspirations as an investigator of human nature. Really, he made a mildly engaging muddle.
Observer
Brandon Katz
It is neither as raw and gripping as the series' rookie season nor as structurally unsound as its second. It is good, not great.
AV Club
Erik Adams
Ali's performance is an example of what the show can be, but the third season as a whole remains as a disappointing reminder of what was.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
Despite the shadowy distractions, "True Detective" is a solid procedural led by a faceted leading performance.
Newsday
Verne Gay
A thin story spread over a lot of hours, but Ali is excellent and so is his support.
The Atlantic
David Sims
True Detective Season 3 is a little more workmanlike and less baroque, perhaps too eager to prove that it can tell a legible story again.
Wall Street Journal
Dorothy Rabinowitz
This is a script determinedly dedicated to the slow reveal. But it is also one alive with passion and a mordant wit.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Yet again "True Detective," after a drawn-out hiatus, capitalizes heavily on atmosphere, artistry and the celebrity aura of its star players, at times focusing more emphatically on this garb than the integrity of its narrative skeleton.
IGN Movies
Candice Frederick
If the season 3 premiere is any indication, we're in for jaw-dropping twists, genuinely crushing moments, and a truly sinister tale.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Kenny Herzog
Season three, which ought to be a fitting final chapter in the True Detective anthology, ended with a meditation on time and memory lost, love elusive and gained, beginnings and endings beside the point.
TheWrap
Phil Owen
Given the cryptic and slow burning nature of the show - creator Nic Pizzolatto and co. are big on holding back key details until the right moment.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
What elevates it are the brooding atmosphere and Ali's magnetic performance, from his dogged pursuit of the facts in his younger days to his convincing vulnerability in his elderly ones.
