True Detective Season 1 (NO SPOILERS)

[ExodusNirvana]

Dude...I can't even describe how much I enjoyed this shyt

 

[dem bath salts]

just finished the finale

shyt did it for me

Of course I would have liked for it to been deeper, for rust and marty to take down the tuttle clan but there's only so much you can do in 8 episodes.

Still though, I love this show because its so fukking spellbinding. I'm an ADD type of a nikka and if a show can pull me in and keep my attention I know its doing something right.

Marty is alive again brehs My dawg was the walking dead until rust reminded him about the debt he had. You can just see how much good this did for him. The big dikked gawd is back. Bayou hoes

Poor Rust that part when he was talking about feeling his daughter's love in the darkness is just great acting and writing.

Been a great 2 months of tv. I'll always fukk with this show. Gotta cop the season when it comes out in blu ray.

I wonder what Nic has in store for us next year

MM did his damn thing of course, but gotdamn WH was a joy to watch. The way he enunciates and the faces my dude makes just has me Underrated actor for real.

I really enjoyed this series. Minimal "plot pushing", great characters and acting in a well delivered package. I hope season 2 blows this one out of the water. With an entirely new story/ mythology of course.

I'm out this thread. I'll see you all after the finale.

This was on page 96 and this thread went to 226. That's wild.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Exactly doing a series like this no different then Broadway. Denzel and Hanks don't get 20 million for Broadway shows. They do it for the love of acting. Top actors like Leo, Hanks etc can do this series for 4 to 5 months and bank 3-5 million. And get critical acclaim. you are foolish if you don't believe many big actors didn't take notice of all the love McConaughey and Woody were getting. HBO is going to go big for season 2 actors. If one role is a woman, you gonna have top shelf female actresses like JESSICA CHASTAIN etc lined up for season 2. Yes they can also go with smaller actors and mix it up. But they gonna swing for the fences for season 2.

I agree, someone like Reese Witherspoon who hasn't done anything worth while in a long time, should jump on this right now. Same for Rosario Dawson...

I didn't make any theories but why some of you new nikkas so mad because some breh's did? That's part of the experience of goat TV show watching in this age. You fags got problems with nikkas bouncing ideas off each other then don't participate in a season thread. Ole johnny come lately ass nikkas

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Finale was excellent to me. The show was always about two very flawed men who represent different incarnations of being a "detective". It was never a supernatural show, the creators left us with a lot of lore and rich detail to keep our heads working and to immerse us into the world and they did just that. But it was always about Rust and Marty, their odd pairing and their demons.

Rust's moment at the end put his whole character into perspective perfectly. This case took everything out of him and Marty, and 17 years later, after everything, it was all worth it. They may have only scratched the surface, but they honored their duty in the end

Seriously, what other show is on this level in terms of cinematography, acting and atmosphere? I can get why some mightve wanted them to dig deeper into the theories and the lore and the Tuttle ring, but gawdamn some of yall sound like some whiny contrarian mafukkas lol

That Carcosa scene might be the greatest bit of TV suspense Ive ever seen. I was nearly cheering for Rust aloud the whole time. The pacing and camera work was spot on and the fear and journey into darkness was excellently portrayed. Felt like a video game. Amazing work by everyone involved. The bar has been set very high for Season Two and for any other mystery/drama in the next few years

 

[Huellz Santana]

Same for Rosario Dawson...

she aint got the acting chops for this.

[We Ready]

It's not a woman named maggie that says that line. It's a man named Roger Thornhill.

Yep. My bad. Misread that.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Give me Christoph Waltz & Gary Oldman

 

[Nature Boy Ric Flair]

CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR @hexagram23 THOUGHTS ON THIS

AS FOR THE NATURE BOY...

THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE (ACTING, SHOW, FINALE, ETC.)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Adam3000]

I think its funny that I'm still seeing people who cant let go of the theory about Martys daughter being raped or something

Guys, the show clearly tied together and ended two major elements, there is nothing else to theorize

The one element was his daughters behavior, the other element was the whole 'answer is right under your nose' conversation

Marty clearly states that he has figured out the answer, and that it was the lack of attention he paid to his daughters. That is it, there is no rape or secret kidnapping. Both those elements were presented to solidify a crucial piece of character development with Marty.

The Detective's Curse

The parallels of it all with how it all played out

 

[Food Mane]

There wasn't really anything to this, other than showing the theme of how Marty's shytty parenting was continuously fukking up his daughter. It culminated in him slapping her and calling her a whore.

It was just a repetition of imagery....her dolls, Rust beer can figures, her drawings, the tape....it was a visual technique, not a storytelling technique.

Could you elaborate a bit on this? I'd like to know more about the purpose of this visual technique.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

Hmm first thought listening to what dude said on season 2 is kidnapping chicks and probably making them hoes in other countries. Not sure what history of the USA transportation has to do with it but they can only go so far back because the idea of a female detective is a relatively modern thing.

 

[K-Deini]

that bar owner had me in every scene, just staring and nodding, reminding me of silent bob, he never speaks but he understands.
