That's my impression. The lack of hype for season 3 suggests that people bailed on the show after season 2. It didn't help that season 3 came out four years later thus squandering whatever hype True Detective still had.
There are shows that get cancelled and some people automatically assume it must have sucked on a creative level. It may have "sucked" on a ratings level and thus on a financial level. But that's a way different thing than saying the show "sucked" creatively.
For the longest time I've always felt that the final scene of Six Feet Under was the best ever but (this is going to blow you away) the one for 12 Monkeys the TV series beats it.
Of course, if will fall flat if you were to look it up and watch it without the context of the entire series preceding it. It's a series of scenes rather than a single musical montage so it keeps hitting you.
