Anita’s Reviews > I Like to Watch: Arguing My Way Through the TV Revolution > Status Update

Emily Nussbaum just put her finger and explained (way better than I could have done) my issue with season 1 of True Detective: while I enjoyed it (it's pretty much my aesthetics and the kind of tone I love), there's a massive issue with the female characters, who are all quite shallow and irrelevant to the plot. Dead women, wives, daughters, prostitutes. Nothing revolutionary or even mildly interesting about them.
