True Detective - Season 3 Episode 06: Hunters in the Dark
In the third season, investigations are reintroduced through many new puzzles, where Hayes, following the 1980 Purcell case in West Wenger, AR, including potential evidence left at Devils Dean, sees an outdoor break for local children. With attention focused on two prominent suspects - Brett Ward, a single veterinarian, and Ted Lagrange, a previous relationship with the fondness of children - the parents of missing children, Tom and Lucy Purcell, receive an encrypted memo from an anonymous source.

"Hunters In The Dark" manages to work well as a story, better than any episode since the two-part premiere, and to demonstrate the emptiness of a narrative that's more interested in abstractions than in its characters.

"Hunters in the Dark" almost gives us a chance to catch our breath after an upward climb which feels like deep descent.

We're still two episodes away from the finale and there's still a lot that doesn't add up.
