The opening sequence in particular was a very different, yet very well delivered moment.

The directorial reins were handed over to newcomer Janus Pedersen, who does an impressive job at delivering a well-paced episode, particularly for a man with only 8 directing credits to his name, and only his second for television. We are presented with an episode that still focuses heavily on character over plot, but not exclusively at the detriment of plot. They say that good things come in threes…or is it bad things that come in threes? I know jokes definitely come in threes…Well, whichever it is, the third episode of True Detective’s sophomore effort finally delivers the goods.
