True Detective Season Three, With Minor Spoilers!

So far I'm thinking True Detective season three is pretty good.  The performances are strong.  Speaking as an 80s kid, there was something viscerally relatable about a boy's bedroom with Playboy mags and a Dungeons and Dragons module (a fake one!).  The triple-framing of 80, 90, and 2015 has worked so far (but could become really confusing if not handled correctly).

Relative to season one though, it does feel like it's playing it a bit safe.  There's plenty of room to go in the strange directions of season one, and I hope it does so sooner rather than later.
