I thought this got cancelled. Billy McBride is just my speed. He never stops searching. Bosch is also like that, but Bosch is so damn low-key.
Like watching paint dry while listening endlessly to annoying women yapping their socks off. :thumbsdown_tone1:
This third season was much slower in rhythms, much more dreamlike, with a hint of David Lynch. Billy Bob Thornton confirms himself to be a great interpreter of the shrewd lawyer McBride, lucid only when he is drunk. Personally the character I loved most is Patty Solis-Papagian, played by the very tough Nina Arianda. The interpretations of Dannis Quaid and Amy Brenneman are also thick. However, the noir investigation plot lives up to the two previous seasons. I liked it.
Season 1 started out good for me, season 2 wasn’t bad except for episode 7 that I’m still confused about. After the first episode of season 4, I can’t anymore. This show nose dived pretty quick for me.
Series one was awesome, series two was dreadful and series three was just boring, it's a shame that they couldn't repeat the formula of the first series.
