Anyone watching this?
Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey, amazing script.
As close as it gets to a Breaking Bad replacement right now.

Re: True Detective [2014]
Watched first ep it last night. Great first show. Both actors were intense .McConaughey was stellar and I'm sure the weigh loss was in conjunction with Dallas Buyer Club - looks like a crack addict.
Hopefully they can carry the story line for 8 episodes

Re: True Detective [2014]
First ep was great and intense... ep 2 and 3, a bit slow...
But the last one is ... McConaughey is huge. I like the change from how to lose a guy in 10 days... to this type of character. What a change!Comment

Re: True Detective [2014]
Shit man last weeks episode was the best of the series so far. That super long camera take near the end....fantastic. Great atmosphere to this show, and McConaughey is hitting it out of the park with his roles lately.Comment

Re: True Detective [2014]
I got hooked just when I was about to give up on this show,I was thinking all along that the first 3 episodes were a total snooze fest and to be honest I didn't like the direction where this was going somehow each episode left me a sensation that this show seemed predictable and very very slow... however I always thought the acting is brilliant, who would have thought that Matthew Mcconaughey could play a dark fucked up psycho very well.
Then bam the 4th episode came along and so did the rest of the episodes which i think they are fucking brilliant. I seriously can't believe this whole season is only going to be 8 episodes
Anyhow I might give the first 6 episodes another run just in time for the season finale.Comment

Re: True Detective [2014]
Spoiler warning - Mark text to read itFinished it. I guess there the show was never really gonna climax but there was no big reveal so that was kinda ... I want to say disappointing but I wasn't disappointed. I wasn't sure what to expect from the final episode but I did enjoy it right up to the final scene. Some bits in the episode I actually LOLed.
I liked the scene of them working the case in the office and driving in the car just like the old days. The parallel, now two broken men too old for the swagger and to hold on to their differences, their repartee is well-worn and familiar.
But I was definitely disappointed with Cohle's last lines, which made me wonder all the deep philosophical musings he had in the season, how much of it were from The King In Yellow, and how much of the other lines were written by Nic Pizzolatto because those last lines were pretty pedestrian. I think that was my biggest disappointment, I expected more from Cohle.
It's not the destination but the journey, and this is one of those stories. I enjoyed the entire journey a lot. I think the murder might've been the initial trigger and hook but for me it's really Cohle and Marty who're fascinating. The philosophical shit that Cohle spouts, their antagonistic partnership and repartee in the car.
I saw some article complaining about the show's treatment of women but whatever. It did occur to me the show felt like some male fantasy: Two very flawed men who continually fail in their personal lives, at odds with each other, but seemingly adhering to an integrity and code that both silently understood, while hot women seem to always throw themselves at them (well mostly Marty). They move past their decade-long differences to come back together to win the day.
If I had been more aware of how this was gonna pan out or if this was on Netflix I would've preferred to marathon it in one go. The tension and anticipation of the weekly gap didn't really serve the story.

Re: True Detective [2014]
Good point. Yes the whole story its quite a journey but with major ups and downs. I kindda felt that the finale was rushed, I don't know if their intention was to dodge a bullet but It left me a sensation that the director could have easily extended the story for 2 more episodes.Comment

Re: True Detective [2014]
I've just got into it this past weekend, watched first 3 ep at my cousins. MM is numbingly and un-smilingly intense. I now have something new to cram through on my Roku.www.mjwebhosting.com
