Episode #14: Maybe Tomorrow




Detect This!: A True Detective Podcast show

Summary: The third episode of this season, "Maybe Tomorrow," is a bit of a let-down after the previous one. Andrew and Charlie disagree on just how disappointing it is, though. Is Ray's fate a literal cop-out? What's going on with the mayor's family? Do the scenes with Paul clarify anything about his character? How much of this season's "problems" are just tropes of the genre? And has Nic Pizzolatto become his own worst enemy? Plus, Andrew thinks he knows who is wearing the bird mask, and the gang inducts a few honorary members onto the Detect This team.
