Other than that, I agree with most of the things you've said on this page.
See, you missed my point. I'm happy to talk about True Detective with anyone in good faith. (So no, 72, I don't hate you.) But I don't feel like defending or justifying it anymore, because enough people DID get it that I don't feel like it not working for someone is necessarily a failure on the show's part. (Especially regarding the kind of complaints I described, which stem from people just wanting a different show- it's like saying Seinfeld sucked because Jerry and Elaine didn't get together in the end.) And some of those people did a better job analyzing, defending, and writing about the show than I ever will, so I don't see a reason to repeat things they said, only worse. (Read the weekly reviews at Paste or the Daily Beast for good examples of such.)
If you want to ignore me because I haven't watched Hannibal yet, that's your prerogative. But "complex"? Please, this whole thing started because I answered a question (and accurately, at that, unless you think my bias necessarily makes anything I have to say about TD untrue).
