I sense some supernatural flair
I could see that. He's already mentioned ghosts. There was a scene from upcoming episodes where he sees some birds fly off from the field in a circular pattern, like the one on the girls back.
I'd prefer it not to go to far in that direction, I get enough over the top weird on AHS. I'd like this to stick a little closer to true life serial crimes.

Nope. They work for the Louisiana State Police Criminal Investigations Division as homicide detectives. The show is all about a murder that happened 17 years earlier that Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaghey worked on and the guys are being interviewed because there are new murders that fit the same MO.

I think it just might be psychological, kind of showing MM's mind works in a different way with the symbolism and stuff.

It would be a good bait and switch for the audience, since the similarities to American Horror Story is apparent. We go in interpreting everything as supernatural when it might be psychological/drug induced.

You really must be a miserable person, if you look for ways to hate a show on the very first episode, which was incredible, by the way.
This is the kind of Movie Board snobbery that people hate.

Mcconaghuey's character comes across as too esoterically weird to expect he could have passed a psych profile to obtain his position with the state police. The character doesn't strike me as one who would have faked his way through it.
Show has its appeal although presenting a former LSU baseball star living in utter poverty was a bit much.

I'm really liking this trend of one season arcs to get the bigger names to sign on.
I'm hoping they go light with the supernatural stuff, maybe just a religious zealot or pure evil crazy that thinks god or the devil is speaking to him.

When has a top notch detective/profiler ever been depicted as normal? That's what gives them their edge.

not to mention he was possibly "normal" when he first took the job. It was said he was Texan and 1995 was his and Woody's first year, doesn't mean it was his first year with the State Police of LA.

To me it seemed like people realized he was too smart to be put in with the grunts, but he would never make a position of actual authority. He seemed to have a disdain for authority and religion, but he wasn't crazy.
As for the ending, I think one or both of MM and WH go out and vigilante kill the real killer.

pretty sure they said he had just started at LSP 3 weeks before the show's 1995 setting
Posted on 1/13/14 at 8:25 am to BOSCEAUX
If he was FBI, sure. State Police, not so much.
I think SFP is taking it a little overboard, but I don't disagree with him.

Pretty sure you've watched this nonstop since last night just to pick it to death. I've seen it twice haha and I thought I was bad.

In TV shows but generally not IRL. Its not a huge problem for me but he's playing it a tad too off kilter IMHO.

Was it 3 weeks? I remember them saying something about 3 open and shut cases.
Did they say when the daughter died? I just remember him saying it would have been her birthday.

Because he is an anti-social religious skeptic? Its already pretty well established he has been through some f cked up shite by 1995, much less 2002 (which will be a "setting" as well) or 2012. I mean even in 1995 he is having to pop barbiturates and quaaludes just to barely sleep.

Well, in a word, yes. Anti social types do make it into law enforcement agencies but for the most part they try to identify them at profile time and not hire them.
The religious aspect is not important.
