Sometimes I forget how much things cost and whether I should even bother to remember them costs sometime after the forgetting. So goes my evaluation of the old man in True Detective season three. The show itself is excellent and the writer is still a wizard with dialogue. His use of telling a story using younger, gruffer and older versions of the lead to take you through the story, the pain caused by the disappearance of a little girl, is the best use of that plot device – a much liked plot device if I may say – that I’ve seen period.
