True Detective Season 3?

It's looking like a bit of a stretch for those interested in the 3rd season. A shame in my opinion since there was just so much potential. Fingers crossed they still get it off the ground.
In other news, Westworld is looking great. Last I heard was that shooting had finished. It'd be awesome to get it towards the end of the year.

If it were me I'd buy the rights to the Archer series of books by McDonald set in Orange County, Ca, forget the two campy Paul Newman movies and go from there
Colin Farrell saved that season.
It was probably the right time to let this go, though. Can't wait to see what he does next with HBO.
It is a shame season 2 wasn't better. It wasn't horrible, but it was flat boring. A season with only 8 episodes should never be boring. I never really did fully understand the land deal scheme, but also wasn't interested enough to think too hard about it.
I agree. It wasn't an "abomination" but it also wasn't set up for success either. Nic Pizzilato (sic) had years to develop and polish True Detective season one. He had mere months to write, cast, shoot, edit, etc a whole new season with all new characters and locations etc. It's a feat they even got it out in about a year. HBO admitted as much that the pressure and timetable wouldn't allow a fully baked product.
