Viewers of the "True Detective Season 2" expected a satisfying finale, as HBO President Michael Lombardo promised that season two would pay off with an "enormously satisfying finale," and said "he'd love to do another season" with the show's writer Nic Pizzolatto, according to Forbes Magazine. But it turned out that viewers were not at all happy of how the season ended. The series had its 90-minute finale on Sunday without the much-anticipated intense scenes.
Chris Carle, entertainment editorial director of IGN, and Jim Vejvoda, executive editor, movies of IGN, talked about whether the last episode resolved the many issues the season had.
They expressed their opinion about the season finale as well as the good things of season two. Carle said that "the things that need to be addressed, for the next go round, is they cannot have the style they had this season." He said that the "writing was really really bold this season" and that the "combination of writing and casting" has a huge impact.
Many viewers said that the fine casting that included Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch is one of the good points of the season. According to critics, the eight episodes of the show wobbled and didn't build momentum. One of the notable scenes that viewers disliked were the lengthy shootouts as well as the banding and disbanding of the three detectives, which were considered a waste of time, People reported.
As for the IGN editors, they believe that if season three comes, people will still watch and tune in because Carle said that "you do get a fresh start every time."
