[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “” Season 3, Episode 4, “The Hour and the Day.”] You can tell “True Detective” is working well when the longest episode of the season doesn’t feel like it. “The Hour and the Day” clocks in at an hour and seven minutes, and even though it’s largely a transitionary entry — lots of leads that don’t pan out, and lots of character development left unresolved — it’s rich, engrossing, and smooth.

It also spotlights a lot of what Nic Pizzolatto has done to make Season 3 an overall improvement over Season 2, and that includes bringing in David Milch to co-write this script. For starters, let’s look at Patti Faber, a dear good woman. Early in Episode 4, detectives Wayne Hays (Mahershala Ali) and Roland West (Stephen Dorff) go interview the elderly dollmaker, who set off the black detective’s “hillbilly radar” before the two even met. And what do you know, upon further questioning, the “dear, good” Patti shows some barely veiled racism! When asked if the “negro man” she sold the dolls to was ugly or handsome, short or tall, the dear good Patti could only add, “like I say, he was black.” She’s yet another local who, upon seeing Wayne and is then asked to describe another African American, lumps the two together: “He’s like you!”.

Read More: The look Wayne gives her before walking out is more than enough to correct any presumption of her inherent goodness, but it’s worth noting what kind of depth this interaction — and the others like it — add to the series and the case. Toward the latter, Wayne is constantly asked to do the same work as his white peers while dealing with this kind of intolerance. Not only does it add to his on-the-job stress, but it holds up the actual investigation. If Patti could see past her racism, maybe they wouldn’t have bothered Old Sam. Maybe then Roland wouldn’t have gotten his window shield smashed, and perhaps they’d have found another suspect during that first timeline. But this is the world they had to deal with, and including the racial tensions makes it a more accurate one.

(Even Roland tacitly forgiving Tom for using the n-word — “he’s been called worse by people who meant it” — feels like something Roland would do, even if the scene and episode are too forgiving toward Tom overall.). Stephen Dorff in “True Detective” Warrick Page / Credit has been given to Mahershala Ali for pushing Pizzolatto to cast him as the lead, and thus change Wayne’s background, and that’s worked out well in every facet.

In Season 3, episodes 2, 8 and 23 only have audio on the left side. Would it be possible to get a fix for this?

As noted, the attempted progression of female roles hasn’t been quite as successful, and that struggle continued in Episode 4. Amelia Reardon (Carmen Ejogo) is still a mystery, and no matter how much “cognitive dissonance” she displays, her attitude reversals during their fight feel forced; one minute she’s walking away, the next she’s telling him not to do the same thing. She’s bending to the needs of the script the whole way — it’s like all Wayne has to do is say “fuck” enough times and she’ll decide to drop her skirt. Read More: Of course, when “True Detective” passes the is when it feels the ickiest. Amelia stops by Lucy Purcell’s place to drop off projects the kids had been working on at school, and Lucy invites her inside to open up, besmirching herself again and again: “I’ve got the soul of a whore,” Lucy says, memorably. Later, she adds, “What kind of woman hates the only things that have shown her love?” These statements seem to corroborate earlier accounts that Tom (Scoot McNairy) loved his wife even when she was unfaithful, and only go further to vilify the mother.

“I have done such terrible things. God forgive me,” Lucy says, which prompts Amelia to ask if she needs to talk to the detectives. When Lucy throws her out for the suggestion, it could mean that’s not the kind of confession she needs to give — so what’s all this for? If Lucy isn’t to blame for the kids’ death and disappearance, then why spend so much time emphasizing her terrible traits?

All we know about her is that she’s not home much, cheats on her husband, and drinks a lot — and it doesn’t seem like there’s a redemptive shoe waiting to drop. Mamie Gummer in “True Detective” Warrick Page / HBO While Pizzolatto’s female characters remain thinly sketched, he seems to be responding to complaints about overly colorful language through blunt, back-and-forth conversations — and it’s working. Remember in Season 2 when Colin Farrell told a 12-year-old kid, “I’ll come back and butt-fuck your father with your mom’s headless corpse on this lawn”? Pretty vivid, no?
