How could Pizzolatto set up all these conspiracies and mythologies about grander conspiracies and then deliver on one loan nut job as the murderer and no consequence to higher ups.

I think the second season was wobbly and the third lost me midway. I realized I had half the season on my DVR, unwatched, for many, many months. When it came time to replace my DVR I skimmed those eps. Found the three-parter about taking over for Letterman tiresome. He falls back too often on self-indulgence that doesn't serve the narrative or audience. Very film studenty. Maybe a yearlong hiatus will recharge his batteries.Bob Fingermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260848314122630343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002763210749805045.post-73219083239290645412013-01-03T12:41:09.690-05:002013-01-03T12:41:09.690-05:00And this is why I quit it.

I'm all for tackling serious subjects in comedy, but the Afghanistan episode fell flat for me and the episode with Doug Stanhope planning his suicide wasn't funny, it was just disturbing. I realize this postscript is more than 50 words, but it's hard to summarize something so complex.
