And so are the past and the present.
When the mid-season languors hit around episode four, little aboutTrue Detectiveseemed to be working anymore.
And never mind that Amelias investigation keep finding new evidence that doesnt fit that theory of the case.
Attorney General Kindt is ready to move on, and so they move on.
(Whether or not he has is own reasons to move on remains yet another open question.)
