I wonder why I found True Detective unoriginal but I suspect it’s because I grew up on The Simpsons where philosophy and metaphysicality frequently is the joke and plot of an episode. Maybe a perspective that expanded on and challenged common modern thought would have made True Detective interesting to me, but as it was I felt it lacked insight and purpose. The show didn’t personally expand on anything I knew to be true.
Did you like that all the character building amounted to nothing? Jimmy, Kim, Lalo, Gus, Natcho all didn’t evolve or have any intresting endings that used their character. You could have replaced every of them with completely new characters during the final season and it wouldn’t change anything.
