The haunting headshots are followed by glimpses of various rural locations ― eerie woods, riverbanks and junkyards that will play some sort of role in the crime we’re about to uncover. The new edition of the anthology series takes place in the Ozarks, as Vietnam vets and partners Wayne Hays (Mahershala Ali) and Roland West (Stephen Dorff) investigate the disappearance of two young siblings in Arkansas in 1980. The story flips back and forth between three different time periods ― 1980, 1990 and 2015 ― during which Hays investigates, discovers and relives truths about the Purcell case, all the while experiencing the onset of dementia. Season 3 brings back the two-man case study, but lacks the groundbreaking feel of the original. Wayne “Purple” Hays’ stoic, uneasy demeanor draws you in while you watch him simultaneously fixate on the Purcell case and grapple with his own loss of memory.
