  • Lalo lost because he likes vlogging. So much for the scary powerful smart killer.

    Gus left the safe house because he planned that Lalo likes vlogging. Impossibly improbable. Beyond stupid.

    Natcho dies because he wasn’t smart enough to come up with a better plan despite frequently demonstrating that he’s smart. I can understand being unable to run from your problems forever, but his ending was the laziest way to show that.

    Jimmy and Kim were just passive observers in something that didn’t really involve them. Kim has a life before Jimmy, and the boring life without Jimmy is unfitting of her character. Jimmy never had an expressive turn that justified his change of heart. It was unearned.

    Genuinely lazy writing. There was no point for any of these characters to exist. By far the worst final season of a show to ever exist. So much potential wasted.



  • 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.
