What ending did you watch? A demented cop solves the case fully, but not to his knowledge. The bad guys got away. Oh and they killed a colleague because they were on the pedo-hype train. All hyped up by that (meth?)-cousin spouting bullshit. It's a messed-up story, but no child got raped (well Julie as teenager after her escape probably did).

The ending where Julie is still alive and has a family with the boy she loved? Where the cop with a disease sits down and happily watches his family play? Where his partner and him make up and are friends again. Naturally too, where Henry has the address to Julie, which he kept - and I assume, will go see and find out for himself.

I know the son was fucking the movie producer but she said "I have more evidence, I'll tell you later" - never shows up again. Just seems like odd writing.

Well your gut was wrong: It was about kidnapping a child, covering up the accidental murder of one and people killing people in pedo-hysteria.

Exactly, it's basically the opposite of Season 1 - which was so far the only really revealatory season. Aside from a few mentions here and there in this season - which all turned out to be completely unrelated.

They made what could have been a big reveal about child trafficking NETWORKS and turned it into some small-time rich dude and his daughter's obsession with wanting a daughter of her own.

Pretty mundane when compared to real world events... I was hoping for something much more like Season 1.

Well True Detective is just a Crime anthology... Not even based on true events like the X-files.

I don't think the narratives just were hoping for would even come to the Big-screens for reasons of finance.

I agree and that's why I felt let down when I realised the show was going in different direction.

Oh well.
