I loved the series, at first. But I came to realize that Lynch is heavy on style and light on substance.
The story lacked a narrative arc. It became weird for weirdness' sake. I was actually pissed when the series ended without a decent wrap-up.
He couldn't deliver it, and apparently never really had a whole story in his head. A jazz riff on a fragment of a tune. I imagine the actors and producers also became frustrated when they realized it was all unconnected bizarro scenes meant only to unsettle you. Film school anomie bullshit.

True Detectives did what he could not.

Don't fool yourself. True Detective, as great as it was, had nearly the same level of malarkey masquerading as meaning.
Lynch played a great part in Louis CK's show.
Any excuse to eat pie is alright by me.
I once bicycled through the town where that was filmed.
That is all.
