Re watching True Detective S1 for the first time (Spoilers)

Just rewarded over the weekend.

What city did the last battle take place in? I can't figure it out.

:inb4thelast3episodesruinedit:

The very end of whatever episode where rust is talking about the monster and Reggie ledooux comes out of that house with the gas mask and machete .

I don’t ever use this term but I was absolutely breathless as that episode ended .

Rust Cohle is my favorite character ever.

Fantastic show.

One of the absolute best ever.

My only nitpick: was anyone else underwhelmed by the Yellow King reveal? I buy Errol Childress as an agent or underboss of some sort for the Big Bad, but not the main man himself. I thought they left some potential on the table with that one.

Amazing show.

How about we make the car a place of silent reflection?

I’m glad you liked it.

Re watching True Detective S1 for the first time (Spoilers)
"Start asking the right frickin questions." What a way to end a pilot. Awesome

Here are some true statements regarding Season 1 and the series overall:

--The first 4-5 episodes are stunning (same can be said of first half of Season 3, which I actually give the slight lean to)

--The depiction of South Louisiana is stunning - from the roadside bahn-mi stands to the accents (massive bonus points for just making Rust be from Texas and not have to labor through some false bullshite)

--The attention to detail is supreme (favorite example is the LSU basketball game on the TV in the background at Woody's house - at the time, I checked, and it was the correct game for that date)

--the whole Rust character is a bit overwrought and "written". It's hard to imagine a single human being - much less washed up Louisiana LEO - waxing so perfectly philosophical like that

--the D'addario sex scenes are the very definition of sublimity. I think there was a period of time there where you could just enter "internet" into a Google search and have it spit out those images
