There will never be anything like it again, ever.

Whatever episode at the end, Rust is talking about " the monster " and the guy comes out with a machete and gas mask .... that was some intense shite ... I'll never forget that wtf moment right then as it cuts to black .

Season one of TD gets a little overrated around here because of the Louisiana setting I think. It's a good season of TV but it's not the GOAT like many think around here.

You're damn right. Seeing Alexandra Daddario's nude body for the first time was like watching God create Adam.

I'm not from Louisiana, but it's damn good TV. If people want to rate it as their #1, who am I or you to care?

The scenes where Marty is talking about not realizing the most important aspects of life were his kids and how he never noticed until it was too late...tough to watch. Very true.

I have been formulating a True Detective thread in my head for some time that I will post soon when I can gather my thoughts. I loved every second of it. They NAILED those characters. My dad was a gunslinger for LSP in the 70s and 80s, doing narc drug gang work and some other cool shite and , essentially, he was part Cohle and Hart, and Very similar to both characters. Yes he was a poon hound as well.

So many great moments

That continuous scene with McConaughey when they raided that drug house in Beaumont was one of the GOAT TV scenes ever filmed

They show 3 asses in that show. All were finer than frog hair.

Then you follow that one up with them meeting the big cook, Dewalt, at the bar to kick off the next episode, him realizing Cohle was dirty, followed by raiding the Ledoux compound...good shite.

The Beth slut got overshadowed by the other two, but she was mighty sexy.

I disagree with the binary implications of it was GOAT or no so great. It had moments that were beyond TV drama. Up to Episode 5 it was religious with unlimited potential. It had a close that lost its momentum. In the end it had a less that desired ending. Its final episode was only less than desired because of the table that was set in the beginning. The second season was an abortion.

I'm not going to read this thread yet.

But I did start TD season 1 this week.

First 2 episodes were great. I will finish before I drop HBO when GOT ends.
