the finale of this was TLJ tier
Just got around to watching the last episode now. I enjoyed this season.
What was the reaction like on Yea Forums to the final episode? I’m guessing everyone hated it
Yea Forums hates anything that isn't capeshit or tranny threads
I wouldn't go that far. Definitely divisive but I wouldn't say it is objectively bad
The mystery is one episode of Law & Order stretched across eight. The 2015 portion didn't even need to exist.
Funny enough it depends on the time of day. Right now I see TD3 getting a decent amount of love. People are pretty fair with it saying it's not as good as 1 but better than 2. During American hours though everyone ranks 3 last and it seems the consensus is that it was the weakest with people even ranking 2 above it. I think this is quite stupid and just reeks of contrarian. Of course everyone has their own opinions but S3 played around with some interesting ideas and felt much less generic to me at least.
I thought it was pretty good 2bh. Was just slightly frustrated when Purple couldn't remember who Julie was though, but I liked the fact that it wasn't as bleak as initially thought with her dying of AIDS
I disagree my favorite portion was 2015. I thought the dementia ridden Hays was an interesting idea and provided a cool contrast from the other timelines. I also thought it was used sparingly enough to still pack an emotional punch. Take the scene where Roland and Hays meet up for instance.

I really loved this season because it was character focused more than anything. Thankfully the performances shine through. I can't blame you for not liking the season, certainly not everyone's cup of tea. I thought though that it was unique and definitely the most engaging show on TV
I would say most people here who watched it liked it, obviously there were some reactionary babbies that were expecting to hate it because of how the second season went and made their minds up ahead of time
>I really loved this season because it was character focused more than anything.
It was character focused but there was no exploration whatsoever into Roland's personal life. He's arguably the second most important character, yet we get next to no insight on him outside of work.
All we have is a shitty mystery. The 2015 portion was pointless. At least the older Rust and Marty actually did something. All Hays and Roland did was interrogate a guy (whom they let go).
This season had shit writing , shit suspense , shit female lead character , shit plot , stupid time travel gimmick overdone.
What a tiring, boring, fucking waste of 8 hours of my life.
My mind went drifting 50% of the time and i didn't miss anything.
Boring shit with pointless sub plots
General consensus was that it was average at best. Most of the story was inconsequential, filler, or husband wife drama nobody cared about. It was like season 1 but with no crime to solve, two middling detectives, and hackneyed American racial politics. It was boring if you had seen season 1 and, if you hadn't and so had no expectations going in, then it would be downright awful.
They made it seem like hays dementia was hiding some really fucked up shit but it wasn't which was disappointing, ending to finale was kino at least
>It was boring if you had seen season 1 and, if you hadn't and so had no expectations going in, then it would be downright awful.
I don't think so. Despite TD3's flaws it is still the best show on TV
Meaningless argument when there is nothing else on tv. Much likes Purples dementia, pointless and had nothing to do with the plot.
>General consensus was that it was average at best.
made-up bullshit
It's not meaningless because you said
>if you hadn't and so had no expectations going in, then it would be downright awful.
I think if you showed this to someone whose never seen TD they would agree at the very least it's a quality show
TD3 was kino. People are just to pleby to recognize the subtle theme of time and the feeling of inconsequentialism. It was super deep, but that aspect goes right over retards heads.
That wasn't me. But It's a quality show the acting the wardrobe the sound everything is quality except the main plot and many sub plots.
>except the main plot and many sub plots.
I think it's more than meets the eye.
Just because people dont like it doesn't mean they were to dumb to understand it. What a pathetic argument.
>I don't think so. Despite TD3's flaws it is still the best show on TV
Not saying much.
Half of this thread thinks it is shit. Many people think season 2 was better.
>I think if you showed this to someone whose never seen TD they would agree at the very least it's a quality show
I think the average person would say it is boring.
You're right, it was a pleb filter.
>Many people think season 2 was better.
I've been in these TD threads for a while and no one is capable of explaining why they think this. S2 was more generic and forgettable then S3 in almost every way
>or husband wife drama nobody cared about.
How many seasons will it take before you tards realize that the actual mystery is ancillary at best. The show is about the characters.
>I think the average person would say it is boring.
It's a slow burn, definitely not for everyone like I said before. I very much doubt anyone would think the show is straight awful.
How about they simply just enjoyed it more, the characters were more exciting to watch and the case was more interesting.
Can be the greatest characters we have ever seen on tv but when they don't do anything it will still be boring.
if you were here in over the past few weeks, then you know this post was accurate, people on this board have had fucking autism trying to understand the basic plot lines of this season
>How about they simply just enjoyed it more
I don't begrudge anyone for enjoying it more it's all subjective after all. However, my point was that no one can explain why in my experience. I don't doubt there are people who like it more but it seems to me a lot of it is contrarianism
>the characters were more exciting to watch
Only memorable characters were Ray Velcoro and Vaughn to an extent. I thought gaycop and McAdams were pretty flat. There were so many characters that none besides Ray was really developed enough in my opinion.
>the case was more interesting.
Without looking it up tell me what the case was about and how it was solved.
Daily reminder that S2 was a shameless ripoff of The Big Nowhere.
>Without looking it up tell me what the case was about and how it was solved.
Trick question because the case wasn't "solved." The good guys find out the truth, but they then either die or leave the country.
reminder that these are the villains
yes, and pizza having nothing to riff on/steal from besides xeroxing season 1 means season 3 was even worse
How so?
>forgettable
Nah, no way. No one is going to remember or rewatch season 3.
>The show is about the characters.
Season 1 had good characters; Rust, Marty, Ledoo, Dewall, etc.
Season 2 had good characters; Velcoro, caspere knew this, mayor, Black cop, russian guy, etc.
Season 3 had; ?
If they hadn't seen season 1, they would stop watching half way.
>Season 3 had; ?
Purple, Roland and the wife.
exactly
NIC I know you're browsing this board and you need to suck Joji's dick so the show can be good again
It's the only way your career will survive
>Season 2 had good characters; Velcoro, caspere knew this, mayor, Black cop, russian guy, etc.
Caspere dies at start of the season dude he's not even featured in the show outside of his corpse. The mayor barely had any screen time and black cop and Russian guy? You can't even remember their names. Season 2 was a mess.
>Caspere dies at start of the season dude he's not even featured in the show outside of his corpse.
He was talking about Frank, you retard.
>Homophobic young cop is revealed to be gay himself. Dies halfway through the story
>Detective in a custody battle for his son (who's not really his actual son.) Both detectives also killed the real fathers of their sons. They're both alcoholics as well.
>Ritualistic murder in both: eyes removed, genitals mutilated etc.
>Departmental politics plays a big role in both. In The Big Nowhere, the main characters are as follows: an LAPD detective, a County Sheriff's detective, and a former cop / bagman for the mob. In TD, the characters are Vinci PD, City police, and Highway patrol. Complications arise from this.
There are more similarities as well. Granted the two stories diverge pretty drastically later on, so it's not a direct ripoff; but it is weird.
They're great characters, or at least I thought so.
What was great about them? I liked that Purple had a set of morals that caused him to end up at a desk with a bunch of women. I liked how both of them would beat the shit out of suspects. How about you?
Then say Frank Caspere is another character entirely
Who gives a shit about names.
Frank Caspere is another character entirely
>who gives a shit about names
Apparently not S2 contrarians.
Their dynamic with one another was interesting I thought. There was a cool kind of mutual respect between, due to them both serving in Vietnam. It's what drives them apart that's more interesting though.
There's an inherent imbalance in that respect though, since Hays clearly had the more dangerous job (I can't quite remember what they said Roland's role was, but it was 'embarrassing' enough for him not to mention it in the Veteran's bar.) This imbalance is flipped however, when it comes to their roles as state police officers. Obviously Roland advances further than Wayne ever does, for a number of reasons. One of these reasons (which is never outright stated, but it's pretty heavily implied) is Wayne's race, a point of contention which boils over in the scene where Roland almost calls Wayne a nigger.
There are other things of course that made me find them interesting. Roland failing to start a family of his own (despite him clearly being better suited to it than Wayne), before 'joining' the Hays family at the end was pretty satisfying.
8 hours for that, lel.

Nah bro, you just got pleb filtered. It was a actually a slow burn kino
Maybe you should have stopped somewhere along the way if you weren't enjoying it.
But then he would have missed the slow burn and a character possibly thinking of the n word.
