There's a whole ton of them out now but the original one that started it was Emily nussbaum on the New Yorker:

The response from the Gyno-American liberation front has been predictable. They've even pestered the creator on twitter into considering two female detectives for the next season.

Emily Nussbaum: The Shallowness of : The New Yorker

Khor beat me to it. Essentially she's saying all the women in the show are flat...well duh, the show is focused almost exclusively on the main characters. Then she compares it to a show where the main character is a woman, to show how women are written well. (Yeah, that's a fair comparison--the exlcusive character in one show, vs the reoccurring side characters in this show.)

I think the worst part though is she intimates the female characters are flat and undeveloped purely because they are women---Because, you know, cliche characters like the asshole major, or the drunk cops or the disillusioned preacher are all deep characters, amirite? (Shit I mean even the killer was an intentional cliche of what we view "bad men" to be, tattooed up, imposing giant men) I hate when people ignore an obviously stronger unifying theme (IE side characters aren't developed) and instead go for their own flawed themes to push their agendas (IE females aren't developed.)

Edit: Anyway, she was obviously shooting for clicks. She took the hottest thing out and of course tried to be contradictory just to set herself apart. Predictable, but still annoying.

She was probably on the rag when she wrote that.

After reading it, I apologize for asking for the link. That shit was horrible and I feel bad for sending them more pageviews.

So aside from Tad shitting up the thread claiming a mustache and longer hair could make a well known hero cop unrecognizable to the very people he was investigating...the biggest story with the show is how they're going to tie all this shit up in 2 episodes. I'm expecting some big reveal regarding Hart's daughter once he sees whatever video Rust is going to show him. They really need to set the stage for the finale well, I'm not sure how it's going to end but I don't know if I can imagine a satisfying one unless it's Rust absolutely kicking the shit out of the Yellow King at the end of the finale and telling him he should kill himself if he gets the opportunity.

There may not even be a yellow king. The yellow king may just be a concept.

I do have a hard time thinking how they will resolve all this in 2 episodes. If it is some wideranging conspiracy, I don't see how it happens at all. Unless it has a "bad" ending, where the ending is Cohle getting framed and the audience knowing the Yellow King or the cult is free.

Hart is not the Yellow King you fucking moron.

People said the same shit about Breaking Bad when it has one episode left. Shit, the same with Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones. The last two episodes of a season usually have a lot happening. With Boardwalk Empire, the last two episodes of season three covered an entire fucking mob war.
