True Detective Season 1 is still amazing

Doing another rewatch and it just gets better every time. The more you can follow the clues, to me the more interesting it gets and they really did set out an awesome story and drop lots of easter eggs along the way.

However, there are a few nitpicks that you notice the more you watch it that get overlooked initially because of the pace of the show.

1 is when they leave the biker Ginger tied up in a ditch after abducting him from the project robbery. The biker gang seemed like a pretty vicious group. Wouldn't Ginger go after Rust for revenge? Also if Ginger ever gets picked up by the police, maybe he doesn't talk, but seems risky that he would reveal that Rust was actually operating undercover outside of the law and definitely committed several felonies as well as robbed his own evidence locker to set up the meeting . Also not sure that Ginger would've cooperated in the bar to set up the meeting with Ledoux.

2 is that when Rust comes back from his 8 years in Alaska from 2002-2010, Billy Lee Tuttle kills himself shortly after. When we finally see the evidence locker in Episode 7 and he shows Marty the tape that proves the Tuttle cult is real and they're abducting kids, he makes it seems like he found it somewhat recently. Tuttle kills himself because the tape gets found so I guess the timeline of when exactly in the 2 years Rust is looking into the cult post-Alaska doesn't quite line up.

Overall, awesome show. I like the ending more each time I watch it even though I felt let down initially compared to the previous 7 episodes. I think it's a perfect season of television and probably will be rewatchable forever.
