True Detective - Season 3 Episode 06: Hunters in the Dark
The third season dates back to a whole host of new events, where there is a serious case of the disappearance of a young boy from Arkansas and his sister in 1980. That case may give rise to vivid memories and constant questions about retired investigator Wayne Hayes. Wayne appeared to have had the case 35 years ago with his partner Roland West, which is surprising during all that happens.
You can only repress things for so long. And as the three timelines of this season increasingly begin to fold in on each other, the past never really stays in the past-no matter how hard you try to keep it there.
With so much of the case coming together with two hours left to go, maybe Old Wayne will actually get his shot at retribution before it's all said and done.
"Hunters In The Dark" manages to work well as a story, better than any episode since the two-part premiere, and to demonstrate the emptiness of a narrative that's more interested in abstractions than in its characters.
Intense, frightening, revelatory: Without losing the melancholy tone and pointedly un-stylized writing that has characterized this season from the jump, True Detective hit a new high with this week's episode.
The fan theory that Hoyt Foods is funding a pedophile ring now has some support, which brings the show back to a familiar theme about the unspeakable perversions of the ultra-elite and the powerful networks that sustain and protect them.
