True Detective season 3 (2019)

2019.02.25
Just watched Season 3 finale.

The time skipping narrative finally feels sincere coming from the perspective of an old man with failing memory, but if this story was just told in a straight linear form would it have been as interesting to watch?

I like the little nods to the supernatural, as old and young versions almost see each other a few times.

The aging make-up is the best I've ever seen.

Twist ending averted is fine, except the son saved the note and invited over dad's friend, so there's the strong hint someone will know the whole story. Unless the ghost visits dad again and drops the clue all over again, starting the search once more. And why wouldn't she? BTW, if they mentioned how she died I never caught it. I kept waiting for it to be a plot point.
