Season 3
Season 3 tells the story of a macabre crime involving two missing children in the heart of the Ozarks, a mystery that deepens over decades and plays out in three separate time periods.
The Great War and Modern Memory
The disappearance of a young Arkansas boy and his sister in 1980 triggers vivid memories and enduring questions for retired detective Wayne Hays, who worked the case 35 years before with partner Roland West. What started as a routine case becomes a long journey to dissect and make sense of the crime.
Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye
Hays looks back at the aftermath of the 1980 Purcell case in West Finger, Arkansas, including possible evidence left behind at the Devil's Den. As attention focuses on two conspicuous suspects--Brett Woodard, a solitary vet and trash collector, and Ted LaGrange, an ex-con with a penchant for children--the parents of the missing kids, Tom and Lucy Purcell, receive a cryptic note.
The Big Never
Hays recalls his early romance with Amelia, as well as cracks in their relationship that surfaced after they married and had children. Ten years after the Purcell crimes, new evidence emerges, giving him a second chance to vindicate himself and the investigation.
The Hour and the Day
Hays and West see a possible connection between the local church and the Purcell crimes. As the detectives search for one suspect and round up another for interrogation, Woodard is targeted by a vigilante group.
If You Have Ghosts
Wayne finds himself in a no-win situation as new clues emerge in the Purcell case. Roland wrestles with how to keep evidence secure as lawyers demand a new investigation. Amelia finds her relationship with Wayne imperiled by her writing aspirations and his jealousy.
Hunters in the Dark
Wayne and Roland revisit discrepancies in the Purcell case that were hidden or forgotten over the years. Among those being reevaluated is Tom Purcell, as well as Lucy Purcell’s cousin, Dan O’Brien. The glitter of Amelia’s book release is tarnished by a voice from the past.
The Final Country
Following up on new leads, Wayne and Roland track down a man who left the police force in the midst of the Purcell investigation. Meanwhile, Amelia visits Lucy Purcell’s best friend in hopes of gaining insights into the whereabouts of the mysterious one-eyed man.
Now Am Found
Wayne struggles to hold on to his memories, and his grip on reality, as the truth behind the Purcell case is finally revealed.

Don't think I'm alone when I say that I was blown away by the first season, but let down by the second. Very happy to say that the third season, while not quite as good as the first (yet), is back on track and I'm enjoying it immensely.
This is the worst season of True Detective. First two were 10 out of 10 for me, but this one... I can say only 1 thing: if you have trouble sleeping - this season (any episode) will resolve it immediately. Just watch first episode and last one, you won't miss a thing.
Season 3 is ok. It's slow and I can only hear about half the dialogue even with the volume at 50.
WOW!! PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND WATCH THIS! I almost gave up on watching the third season because of how disappointing I found season 2 finale, but this was great!!! It was almost as good as s1, in some aspects even better, but maybe s1 remains my favorite because it has that psychodelic feeling to it that just resonates within me, but just so great. Also the characterization was next level! I thought it was a different actor playing Mahershala, but it was HIM! Even the posture, the way they walked, the extra weight. How to get away with murder can take some notes after that awful make up they did in the show's finale. And even when I thought the resolution was a little obvious they took things next level, honestly WOW!
Much better then season 2. Not quite up to season 1 but definitely better than season 2. Really, the only complaint I have is the flashbacks. I don't generally like constant flashbacks and it takes a lot to really make them work. Season 1 had flashbacks but they were generally ok and mostly worked ok although I would have be happy if they didn't have them. Season 3 has them constantly! And, they flashback to 2 different time periods! And, they don't make it clear which period they're flashing back too! And, they don't work as well as they did in season 1. I give season 3 a weak 7 out of 10 due to the flashbacks.
