2019...I am...forgotten

you're an idiot. TD is about the character study.

No exposition dump, they gently led to the conclusion, a revelation on the MC's part isn't far fetched. His wife wasn't literally speaking to him, it was just a representation of how he put the pieces together using the info from her book.

>IT AIN'T ME

It was great until the last episode which kinda shat the bed

This is true. Media is becoming massively oversaturated. It doesn't help that disney is releasing 5+ blockbusters a year, but that's a symptom of the problem as opposed to the problem itself.

"it's the journey not the destination" is true to an extent. The genre as a whole demands a constant sense of menace and mystery, which the show admirably delivered on until about episode 5 or 6, when it felt very blatant that they were stretching out the mystery.
But the literal infodump at the beginning of the last episode was ridiculous. Perhaps not on an emotional level, but on a structural level it was as risible as SAVE MARTHA. It would be forgivable if the resolution was at least interesting and gripping, but the mystery was mundane.
Season 3 has no rewatchability, and everything odd, sinister or offbeat is simply a red herring. Compare that to season 1 - even on a third rewatch, you can find little things you missed, make connections you didn't make on previous viewings, and most importantly there's enough intrigue to keep talking and theorizing even after the main mystery is answered. Just because Pizza is a hack who shittalks the supernatural elements and the fan theories doesn't mean they aren't there. But with Season 3? The dementia, the slow burn, the red herrings - all of them add up to nothing more than a goddamned Nancy Drew mystery.
And finally, as a visual medium Season 3 has some striking imagery, but overall its merely adept. Season 1 is consistently stellar.
Season 3 had a lot of potential, and isn't without merits, but as a whole it feels like a flat retread of Season 1 with the serial numbers field off. Also the Ozark setting didn't seem nearly as realized in Season 3 as the Southern Gothic decay of Season 1.

that shot alone made the show worth it, it retroactively makes his character

all 3 seasons of TD were varying levels of good but S1 was the most solid. S2 was just all over the place and S3 was tighter but had a lackluster ending. so basically it confirmed that without fukunaga and plagiarism pizza is a complete hack and not even amazing actors can prop him up well enough.

Wrong, it isn't anything to do with the quantity or quality, it's simply because people aren't actually watching enough cinema any more for any kind of consensus to happen.

Marcel Desailly was a surprisingly good actor

>dude the entire fucking season was just a series of red herrings heres a 15 minute exposition dump explaining everything
I can't believe pseuds will actually defend this shit

Good parts :

-two main leads
-based scoot acting circles around everyone

Bad parts :
-dementia gimmick underused and barely adds anything to the story
-the entire story meanders around too much without committing to one central thread
-hays' wife eats away way too much screentime while offering very little in return

Overall the same problems as in S2 emerge. The central mystery is sidelined and/or is vague enough that it barely keeps the viewers attention while you get characters "acting" around while mysterious potential conspiracies block them (usually manifested in their boss tell them to quit the case).

The entire thing feels very low energy.
