The biggest surprise here is how unexpectedly uplifting the conclusion proved to be, with both Cohle and Hart having survived their run-in with “The Yellow King” and presumably having found some comfort in the fact that even if they haven’t caught all the bad guys, they caught the one that really counted. In the week leading up to this episode, many of us were expecting some kind of apocalyptic end, with at least one of the heroes – or possibly both – winding up in a coffin before the season drew to an end. As hard as we all tried to guess what was coming next, showrunner Nic Pizzolatto’s scripts kept veering into unexpected directions, and the season finale proved to be no different. REVIEW: Right from the beginning, TRUE DETECTIVE was a show that was all but impossible to predict.
