There is too much reliance on random events to progress plot or character, rather than letting it grow organically. Unfortunately, he’s a victim of random circumstances too – he gets in a car accident and he gets car jacked – which is symptomatic of a larger problem within the show.

Digging the pit in the backyard and stealing the Cabbage Patch Kid were bizarre moments in the season that didn’t do anything for Gordon’s character other than insinuate that he likes to do random things to make the show weird. He was prone to irrational outbursts and erratic behavior, none of it truly justified other than: a.) he’s stressed out at work or b.) he’s just crazy. Gordon was the only truly problematic character, never really finding his footing until the last few episodes of the season, when he finally got himself together and saw the person he’d become. Her budding father-daughter friendship with Bosworth was one of the show’s greatest attributes, though it was severely underserved after Bosworth more or less disappeared from sight after his arrest. She was passionate about her creations and forward-thinking in a world that was stuck in binary. There were moments of weakness that didn’t jive with the rest of the season, but watching her journey was one of the better paced elements of the season. Cameron showed a lot of growth of the course of the season as well, going from snappy prodigy to savvy revolutionary. comes to mind – but generally Joe engaged as equal parts firefighter and arsonist.

The showrunners gave him a bit too many odd quirks and uninteresting diversions into portions of his back story, though – Joe MacMillan Sr. “Landfall” in particular was a great turning point for him, with his endearing scenes alongside Donna and Gordon’s girls and later, his total submission to Cameron. However, his moments of sensitivity were very well placed.

Pace took full command as the role required it, but was able to peel back some layers as he fell in love with Cameron and began to realize his inability to find satisfaction in anything he does. Lee Pace’s Joe MacMillan was certainly the rock of the series, acting as both its primary protagonist and, in some ways, its antagonist. She went through a pretty great arc (almost-affair aside), resulting in the strengthening of her relationship with Gordon and the renewal of her passion to accomplish something revolutionary. She was a character that struggled for recognition alongside Gordon as a brilliant engineer, diligently providing for her family while also being the “go-to” parent for their girls. In the end, it was more plot device than character development, but the headstrong and likably Donna persevered.

The following are True Detective's most compelling supporting characters.Play The standout character of the series was Kerry Bishe’s Donna, despite her brief foray into a wannabe affair that never felt true to the character. While the show is widely felt to have fallen off after Season 1 (some would blame the absence of Season 1 director Cary Joji Fukunaga), Pizzolatto still showed a penchant for crafting supporting characters often more depthful than the leads, as his ambitious, macro-scope Season arcs required a large ensemble of character actors to fill out their ranks. Some of the biggest strengths of all 3 seasons of True Detective, thus far, have been their deep cast of supporting characters, poaching cast members from previous HBO series as well as up-and-comers like Kelly Reilly, who matched Pizzolatto's grave tone. In Louisiana's coastal peninsulas, Pizzolatto sought to create characters that matched an area that the world had forgotten - a world where a conspiracy to hide occult practice could thrive. The marshes, oil refineries and whispy oak trees became the setting for Detectives Cohle and Hart to pursue an investigation into crimes deeply embedded in the fabric of a Southern community. True Detective became a landmark HBO series, after show creator Nic Pizzolatto, familiar with the South Texas and Louisiana area thanks to his years in academia, built a world using source material of from his own novel Galveston and inspiration from filmmakers like Roman Polanski.
