True Detective Season 1 (NO SPOILERS)

[Numpsay]

Just caught up on this, didn't expect this thread to be so long thus far, so I'll just pick up the discussion from here. But has the fact that a spiral drawing was on the wall in Harts house when Cohle was in there buttering up Harts wife been mentioned? Could mean nothing, but that stood out to me, being he has a demonic daughter.

I just binged so they all run together for me right now. Whichever episode Cohle cut Harts grass, that would be 3 or 4. I'll try and grab a screencap in a second, but I 99% sure I saw that.

Yeah, the day the ep aired someone posted the pic.

Could just be an easter egg though since so far I'm not sure how that could tie into the main plot.

I know Rust is going to have to go to the hospital when he comes down off that gas after that shot he took in the back from that baseball bat

yeah its been briefly touched on. something demonic going on with the school system. don't think its a coincidence the guy cutting the grass at the abandoned school looked like the suspect drawing and Rust didn't get his 10 minutes to feel the guy out. I'm pretty sure the drawing is one example of Marty talmbout answers being right under your nose......

At the end of episode 3 if flashes back to them dancing at that beer joint and then flashes some crime photos. What was the reasoning for that?

Four episodes in I think this is better than the last couple seasons of Breaking Bad, Boardwalk, and Game of Thrones.

McConaughey's acting when he was talking to the guy he ended up kidnapping was amazing. His mannerisms after he does that first bump outside and him having to give this elaborate lie while being high as fukk, but playing off his hesitation as being high was great. He didn't look at him once in the eyes during that . The way that scene unfolded was just as good as the last 6 minutes to me, it drew me into what was happening so much and felt so real.

When everything got fuzzy, slow motion, and disoriented in the biker gang's place, then he looks up and has a shotgun pointed at him, then does a line and everything gets back to normal speed was

After 4 episodes....not even one full season which is only 8 episodes.....4 episodes?

Get caught up in the hype of a new show, brehs.

It also helps that the story is pre-planned, written by the same individual, directed by the same individual and it relatively short (8 episodes). Not fair comparing a smaller sample size to seasons worth of material, which increases the likelihood of weak episodes.

That being said, I feel the hype is deserved. The depth of the two main characters is considerably deep given only 4 hours of show. Rust is one of the most intriguing characters to come around in a long time in my opinion. Characters like that don't come around very often.

I don't really think it's fair to compare a show like this to BB, GoT or any of the other standard multi-season non-anthology series.

TD is way more condensed at 8 episodes and was probably put together in a much different way than the multi-season non-anthology shows.

I'd think comparisons with Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and Generation Kill.. among others would be more fair
