So I kind of had to force myself to keep watching this show. The first season didn't do much for me at all. Season two was marginally better. It started taking off a little in season three, but the fourth season is off the charts good. I've got one episode to go in season four, but it's been great. I'm starting to understand why this has been called the greatest show of all time.
It's maybe the most intricately constructed series I've personally watched. And its scope is nuts. You're not just following a team of cops. You're not just following the criminals. You're also following the politicians. I'm not sure if it's the best show ever, period. But it's probably the best cop show ever. Season One of True Detective was great, but it's really apples and oranges. That was more like a very long movie than an actual TV SERIES.
