wizard stuff! Who was the African-American man Woodrugh met in the tunnels? Another wizard! All right, tells me it was Holloway, the police chief, but I highly doubt that was the first guess of anyone in North America. How did Burris know where Woodrugh would emerge from the tunnels? Because he’s a wizard! Has he been pulling all the strings the whole time? Yes, because. Don't drink when you wonder whether the entire resolution of the season will amount, more or less, to “a wizard did it,” with James Frain’s barely-seen Burris as the convenient wizard.Yes, now we know why it made no sense (sort of?), but it would have been nice at the time not to wonder why a bunch of random gang members suddenly decided to act very stupidly. Don't drink when you can’t fully enjoy a set piece, like that massive gun battle, because it fundamentally made no sense.And if the answer is because he’s got a shrewish, emasculating mother, then creator Nic Pizzolatto has got to stop getting his story ideas from psychology textbooks published decades ago. Why was coming out, even a little, so difficult for Paul Woodrugh (Kitsch)? Why was embracing that side of himself so challenging for this particular man? No idea.
Don't drink every time you think the character development is lacking, sloppy or incomplete.Definitely don’t imbibe every time you think Vince Vaughn sounds like he’s appearing in a dinner-theater production of “Guys and Dolls.” Don't drink every time you watch Taylor Kitsch or Vince Vaughn battle mightily to master roles that, for the most part, do not play to their strengths in a consistent way.Don't drink every time an actor struggles with an overwritten line of dialogue.
