been watching since ep.1 looks good. seems like they are trying to pin it on matthew mcconaughey. following seasons are going to be weird since they are doing a future thing in the interview. i assume that future them will end up trying to figure out the real killer that past them missed.

It's looking that way.

Sorry yoox. I missed it

You know what I didn't miss, Nikita final season. Sorry for off-topic, but it was amazing. To bad that show was cut short.

[rursusferre]

Actually the show is going to have a completely different cast and tell a different story each season

That was my theory.

[Blake]

really? so the big name actors (matthew mcconaughey/woody harrelson) was just to draw people in. those 2 names are the main reason i was so interested in the show.

You guys never mentioned the best part of this show:

I haven't watched any of this show yet, but it just jumped to the top of my list.

[rursusferre]

Pretty awesome tits.

There have been some pretty awesome theories flying around about the show recently. Personally, I feel like the show may turn supernatural at some point, which would be awesome, because it would really catch people off guard. We shall see. Fantastic show though.

[Yooxra]

Fucker is lying. We going to need the battery and jumper cables.

[Kz]

yea lol such a good episode.

[Gronthor]

Saw the show is going to be some type of anthology like American Horror Story. Matt is not coming back for S2.

[rursusferre]

Yoox, when you get a chance, you should kill yourself. JESUS that line.

Yeah. Was a great episode. Been enjoying this show. It's really good.

[rursusferre]

Its pretty crazy. People really have no idea how its gonna end. Some interesting stuff hidden in all of the episodes, but none of its concrete. Points a lot of different ways.

[Yooxra]

Really great finish to the season. All and all great entire season.

Bad news about the show if they plan on continuing, the director is moving out of the director seat. Pretty sure I saw that somewhere two weeks back.

[Gogan]

Started watching this show last night. Got through the first 3 see episodes. Harrelson and McConaughey are great as always, and Alexandra Daddario is spectacularly hot. But so far... it's your typical murder mystery. I assume it starts slow given all the hype. Hoping to finish it in the next couple days.

True Detective Creator Says Season 2 Will Stay Strange

[Kz]

:SPOILER:


i was hoping they would both die tbh, not sure how u survive a knife stabbing and get lifted off the ground with it and a axe thrown at ur chest.

[Gogan]

Just finished watching. I'm with you KZ. Thought it might've been kinda cool to have them both die at the end. I thought their conversation about light vs dark at the very end was cute though, and a really good segue into subsequent seasons and the format for the show.

Overall I'm a little confused why the world had such a hard on for this show though. Sure, the acting was good, the story was pretty good, the writing/directing/etc was all good. It's not that I didn't like it -- it was good. But damn, I would *never* classify this show as the best thing that's ever been on television. Not even close. Yet that's all I keep hearing when social media talks about it. Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, BSG... all head and shoulders above True Detective. Although I freely admit murder mystery / thrillers aren't really my thing.

I really don't get why people couldn't figure out how it was gonna end after episode 7. They tell you at the end of E7 exactly who the killer is. We knew season 2 would be its own self-contained story without the same actors. So of course the storyline would resolve itself -- the killer would undoubtably be caught at the end like every other murder mystery. It would've been way more interesting and more of a twist if he didn't, but alas, he did. Hell, didn't someone even speculate it might take the supernatural / X-Files route? The ending had to be a pretty big letdown for whoever was hoping for that.

Clue me in. Am I missing something? Was this like a Lost kind of show where they sprinkled obscure clues throughout the season and people were chasing their tails trying to figure it all out? Maybe watching all 8 episodes back to back took something away from the experience? I dunno, I guess I expected more given all the hype.

[Yooxra]

I guess I expected more given all the hype.

I think this is it for you. It's not the greatest series ever. It was really good tho. I might of liked it a little more cause two actors I enjoy watching.

[rursusferre]

I think you are right about watching them all in a row Asano. The difference between Lost and this show is, Lost made a huge deal out of these little details, promising they all meant something. True Detective never did this. Apparently some of the things fans put together surprised even the writers. Each week, you agonized over details waiting for the next show. In part it helps to know some of the things that the show are based off of. Carcosa and the King of Yellow are actually things that have existed in literature for some time. The King of Yellow was supposedly a play that if you read it, you went insane. I kind of felt the show was doing that to people. We were going insane trying to figure out everything. In the end, the twist was that there was no twist. In many ways it told us everything from the very beginning. We slowly learned who the killers were and why. We are left with some stuff open and some stuff answered. I've read some people say that Rust wasn't hallucinating at all, that he really saw the evil that the family was tapping into in Carcosa. In the end, either way, it doesn't really matter. I enjoyed it. and was happy with the ending.

"If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of divine reward then, brother, that person is a piece of shit. And I'd like to get as many of them out in the open as possible. You gotta get together and tell yourself stories that violate every law of the universe just to get you through the goddamn day? What's that say about your reality?

I enjoyed this one.
