It’s even been suggested to me that some of the flaws I just cited are there by design — that the two-dimensionality of everyone and everything in the landscape except Rust and Marty is proof the show is a deconstruction of the age-old story about cops consumed by their toughest case. That sounds awfully convenient to me, a No-Prize-worthy way to explain away Pizzolatto’s inability to write women. (By the way, everybody, let’s stop citing “You think your betrayal is removed by its interruption” as a good line, since it’s the opposite of a good line, even if it’s the best one this show’s given poor Michelle Monaghan.) And I still think anybody who’s eager to see this story veer in an explicitly Lovecraftian fantasy/sci-fi direction is going to be disappointed. A few metaphorical nods to weird fiction do not indicate that Yog-Sothoth is about to crawl out from the banh mi stand. And this show’s spent so much time brooding about the darkness in man that pinning the Dora Lange murder on some supernatural force would cheapen everything that’s come before.

Segways didn't go on sale until November 2002. LINK And the T Mobile USA name wasn't branded until July of 2002 and only rolled out stores in Nevada and Cali. LINK

"Nice hook Marty"

Best line of the show so far.
