True Detective recap: season three finale – Now Am FoundThe first good TV show of the year came to a head, but was the pay-off too silly and simplistic? And who killed Will Purcell? I watched the entire series. I found Hays often annoying because half of what he said, I couldn't understand, he seemed to mumble a lot, terrible enunciation, and in general, was not a very likable character. West I liked.
