this show is a masterpiece. that episode where he infiltrated the ghetto and escaped was so ill

As bad ass as episode 4 was, it was almost all filler, which is pretty shitty in an 8-episode season. And I started to lose interest when the questioning / narrating stopped at end of episode 6. I don't even remember what happened in episode 7 at all. The finale was okay. I thought the serial killer villain reveal was lame. The way Rust described this guy in the first couple of episodes was intriguing but it just ended up being an incestuous crazy hill billy. The acting was top notch, specifically from Woody Harrelson.

there's too much focus on endings in narrative fiction. people expect movies to climax in the 3rd act with a big set piece and for books/tv to rap everything up in the last chapter/episode and make some grand statement.

with no more mystery to unravel or any more clues to obsess over the insane internet theories between the space between sunday nights we had to accept and make peace with the fact that this long, bizarre trip was over.

marty's father in law being the yellow king, maggie being the yellow king, or that marty's daugter audrey would be directly implicated in the cult's misdeeds, or how rust possibly planted the first killing because his daughter was the first victim etc.

sure there were several red herrings, but this fueled wild speculation, speculation that would be on your mind every weekday at work. as each week passed each wild theory would be continuously whittled down to eventually one while simultaneously realizing the dread that the euphoric speculation would eventually come to an end.

the climax was at the midpoint of the series, the moment with the most amount of possibilities including possible exploration into the supernatural. if you felt true detective didn't peak in the final episode it was because it peaked every week.

I'm not. I did see Swingers but that was over 15 years ago, dunno about him but Farrel is just awful.

rewatched the series. God damn it's still epic. The atmosphere and characters suck you in so hard
I miss shows like this nowadays.

watch Devs
