I believe that it's one of the best shows in the air, for this season.

Along with "Peaky Blinders", they are my favorite!!!

First two episodes rocked.  3rd was boring.

What's nice is it's only 8 episodes, and will end, so it can't be drawn out like Dexter, etc...

And, if there was ever a body that most straight men here could agree on, no matter what preference, take a look at Alexandria Daddario's nude scene.  Her body is RIDICULOUS.

I'm digging it.

That being said, I'm not sure how American audiences will judge it. While it's getting a lot of praise, I've noticed a lot of younger folks whine about how slow and cerebral it is. I find it's evolving much like a British or Euro drama, so it will be interesting to see the long run breakdowns between various countries.

Excellent show. I thought the ending of episode 3 was anti-climatic but it really builds anticipation for episode 4(which is in 2 weeks after the Super Bowl). For those that think it's too boring or slow paced should stick to watching Michael Bay movies.

Mconaughey is on one hell of a run as an actor. He's come a long way since Dazed and Confused("You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N!") Harrelson's character is becoming very unlikeable...lol. Great dialogue between the two.

I love the premise of this series is that every season will be different actors and Woody and Matt wanted to be the first.  HBO is lucky to have signed him when they did because after all the awards he's winning this season his price is probably 10 times higher now.

Agree. He's up for the best actor oscar for Dallas Buyer's club. He was still skinny from that role when he filmed True Detective. Great acting on his part for this show.

My wife doesn't get why I love the show.....its been a little slow (maybe) at points but last episode and the next one look like they're going to push the story forward. Somebody needs to get Mconaughey a sandwich but its great. Why everybody even bothers with the networks as far as getting shows produced is beyond me....HBO or FX.

Wow.  This made Training Day look like Police Academy.  Hard to believe you're watching a TV show when the production value rivals most motion pictures. 

One thing that bothers me though is the fact they just killed about a dozen people in hopes of finding a criminal who murdered a couple women.  How does that justify what they are doing?

Title: Re: True Detective
Post by: UPINTHEMGUTS on February 10, 2014, 07:13:35 PM
I laugh at the shitbirds who thought this show was slow and boring. The ending to episode 4 was epic.

But I agree...all of these people getting killed, Rusty Chole taking his undercover life over the edge with drug use and murder...all to find a killer who has killed two people that we know of...but perhaps there's more victims involved over the next four episodes.


One thing I'm confused about....the detectives aern't 100% positive that Ledoux(the meth maker) is the killer. At the end of episode 3 they show Ledoux walking outside of his meth lab in his undies and wearing a gas mask. I'm thinking the detectives are on their way to apprehend him. Why didn't they arrest him at his lab and bring him in for questioning since he was the former jailmate of the victim's husband? Why go through the biker gang to get to Ledoux instead? What am I missing?

You may be right....the end of episode 3 must have been foreshadowing....as I remember correctly they were questioning Ledoux's mom and she said his whereabouts were unknown since he got out on parole

They weren't on their way to get ledoux, remember they learned at the end of episode three that her husband was a cellmate of ledoux and they were on their way to the prison not to his house just yet.  They still don't know where he is.

What's interesting about this episode is that they both seemed to be truthful to the black cops until now and lied about how they ended up eventually locating ledoux.  Rusty caught in a lie about his dad going to vietnam war.  They finally cast a shadow of doubt on their story.  it seems that Rusty as hit rock bottom and is stuck there trying to get out while Woody is on his way down.

Good moral of the story learned is that never trust a bitch.  You think you got your ass covered while cheating on your wife but can you trust your whore to not open her mouth?

This show is just fantastic.  Calling it slow is a shame because some of the best parts are the conversations between the two.

I was reading from the writers of the show that you won't truly realize what is happening until the very end.  he said he wanted to leave people thinking they know it all but not realizing they know shit.

Yes, it is an injustice calling this a TV show.  It is essentially a mini-series and like watching a movie every week.

The director for this show is very talented. The writers for the dialogue are terrific also...

The only thing that didn't seem believable at the end of episode 4 was how easy Rusty took down the two black guys, especially after one of them hit him from behind in the back with a steel bat. And by the way, if someone is swinging a bat at you from behind with bad intentions....they aern't going to aim for your back...they are going for a kill shot and aiming for the head.

other than that...can't wait for the next episode!

I don't get the fact why he was swinging a bat in the first place when they all had army grade machine guns and artillery.  Was he the poor guy on the block that couldn't afford a gun?  Also how the biker he was dragging after getting whooped so bad seemed to jump that fence with ease while getting dragged for 3 blocks.

lol....funny thing is that after he scaled the fence and turned his leg over....Rusty yanks him off before he has a chance to climb back down on his own....but whatever...the intensity of that final scence was great...you can't expect a bunch of bikers who are tweaked out to carry out a plan systematically. Not only that....Narcotic officers are almost never dressed in uniform. And police officers in uniform wouldn't have beards and haircuts like that. They would've been better off wearing jackets and hats that read FBI or DEA or something to that effect. So their plan was fucked from the start.

That's exactly what I was saying.  How many bald headed ZZ Top bearded cops have you seen.  At least put on a cop hat or something.  Rusty knew that plan was destined to fail from the start.  How did Martin know to be so close?  I know he told him to listen to the police scanner to know what's happening but he still managed to be there in minutes after the cops got on the scene.  It was kind of odd.  Yeah, the tension of the last 15 minutes was unheard of in any TV show I've ever seen.  it was fucking intense.

Ep 5

LOVED the extended scene with Woody explaining to the investigative committee how they were ambushed and caught up in an explosive firefight, while we as the viewers witnessed the reality of the situation.

this is my favorite show on tv right now

does anyone get the impression he went off the grid to find the yellow king and hes still searching for him.
Absolutely, I believe he lost faith in the Police's ability to arrive at the correct conclusion and went "rogue"
He's no stranger to going "off the grid" as witnessed by his undercover work with the bike gang.

Cole is too smart and cerebral to be holed up in a motel drinking himself stupid for the past few years. He's onto something big. An enormous revelation that could bring down several "pillars of the community"

I definitely don't buy into McConaughey being the killer, as the two black cops were painting him as. I think they'll reveal that these are ritual murders with a large cult behind them, not just an individual killer. I'm suspicious of the anti religious crime team and the governor that were featured a few episodes back

I like how they display what really happened and then the version told to the police boards and other interviews and stories.

If you watch HBO on demand at the end of the last episode they have the writer of the show saying how Woody saying to the two new detectives "You weren't getting a read on Cohl, he was getting a read on you" was important. He went on to say how they had Cohl ask for beer not only because he is a functional alcoholic, but also so nothing he said in the entire interview can be used against him"

Thought that was pretty cool since it shows you he really hasn't slipped at all in 2012, even if he appears a lot more of a mess than in 1995.

It's becoming too obvious that Marty is in on it.  Let me give you some reasons why.

Marty was insistent that they keep the case when his superior wanted to give it to the task force.  Even though Marty never seemed as obsessed as Cohl he wanted the case to stay with them.
Marty was the one pushing Cohl into the right direction.  The black cops thought it was the other way around.  Marty knew exactly where LeDoux's partner hid his truck. he claimed he missed it and had to double back but he knew his hideout.  Even though he claimed he wanted to call in backup he never took the chance to do so.  Cohl even told Marty to go call backup but he refused.  he wanted to kill Ledoux so that he can pin the crime on him.
Marty knew about the Bike gang and Cohl's Narco days and that's why he pushed him down that path.  he knew that Cohl would have to go under cover and they can do it without involving the police because they would never approach it.  Marty all along has been manipulating Cohl.
Now Cohl makes a big discovery at the end of the episode when he finds all of those little stick tents.  I believe he kept them all in his storage locker and that's why he won't let the black guys see it.  I also think Cohl figured out it was Marty and is storing evidence to protect him.
Marty was pissed when Cohl interviewed another suspect a few years later who knew what was going on.  Marty knew that the suspect would rat him out because he's seen him before and that if they went to interview him he'd be called out so he got that phone call made to ensure he killed himslf before so.
What if Marty hadn’t honked the car horn and sent he and Rust careening to the bayou compound of Reggie Ledoux and, instead, searched the school together when Rusty was interviewing the caretaker of that school?  Marty wanted out of there because Rusty was getting close
Just thinking back, Marty playing a little dumb but he is smarter than the show lets on.

Of course would this be too obvious? The writers have been brilliant and maing Marty the killer or involved would be too easy and too sloppy

Surprised HBO could afford to pay 2 big name actors.

HBO lucked out with Matty before he got all his acting buzz for DBC.  I'm pretty sure they couldn't sign him today.  But they are also bot exec producers which means they'll be getting a lot of residual income from this show from DVD sales etc....

You'd be surprised as to what big name actors would be willing to do for less money. That's when your hollywood agent comes into play. Often times a big name actor will take an acting opportunity on a smaller wage scale simply for creative preference rather than for what it pays. They read a script and get blown away and decide to do an independent film, for example. And it wasn't like Matt wasn't an A-lister already. He's got a decent resume of movies under his belt. Woody also.

Yeah, Harrelson and McConaughey both have decent number of avant garde type works in with the normal Hollywood stuff, and they're friendly in real life, so it was probably an easy sell. Also I wouldn't be surprised if they're getting a bit on the back end, and a decent bit of pay.

There isn't a huge amount of name actors in it, and much of the show happens in just two rooms, so the production budget could'nt be that big either. It's not like Boardwalk  or Deadwood where a huge amount had to be spent on costuming and sets.

I would disagree with you on that one. If you watch the HBO making of this show..it's like 15 minutes long...the production crew shoot quite a bit on location in the back woods of Louisiana, including building various sets from the ground up. They also planted several types of plants and bush weeks in advance on several outdoor locations to add green and marsh to barren fields that stretched for a few acres. Weather was also a major factor while shooting outdoors because the rain would sometimes come down so hard that the actors couldn't see more than 30 feet in front of them. Definitely not as big as production budget like Boardwalk but then again...this season is only 8 episodes long. But check out the HBO special about the making of True Detective. Good shit.

Anyone who saw Mathew in Amistad, dazed and confused, frailty and a time to kill knew this guy could act, I always used to wtf in the 2000s when I read his upcoming projects were all rom coms, but in hindsight and reading his quote about pacing yourself in life it makes sense.

He used his thirties to make the easy money with well paying romantic comedies that he could sail through ,using his looks to cash in on, then approaching his mid forties, when he is financially secure and had his youthful fun, where typically make stars can't bank so much on their looks anymore, he makes the switch up that he always, and anyone that had seen his early work, knew he could do.

As for the show, it's very difficult to predict how it's going to end, though I agree Woody doesn't seem to have shown all his cards yet.

Maybe do a little research cuntface before chiming in on something you don't know fuckall about.  The premise of this show is that every season will be a new cast with a new setting.  Matt and Woody were excited to be the first ones to get it going and have their names attached as exec producers.  It is already picked up for season two with a yet to be named cast.

I hate to admit it but I have never hard about TRUE DETECTIVE ... but after reading all these comments, I do plan to look into it and see what all the raves are all about.

Thanks to some GetBiggers I was fortunate to 'discover' shows like GAME OF THRONES, BROADWALK EMPIRE, DEADWOOD, IT'S ONLY SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, TEEN WOLF, and a few others that got my total attention.

I never get a chance to watch TV so I have to wait until these shows come out on disc so I can watch them when I have free time to do so ... and once I do , I jump in and enjoy them immensely.

Ah fuck shits.  So the shows creator Nic Pizzolatto is teasing online that season 2 might be based on two women detectives.  Good way to kill the fucking show.  I don't know if it's me, but I find women actors trying to act tough as cops very annoying and unwatchable.  The only saving grace would be to cast Jennifer Lawrence and Scarlett Johansen to play the detectives and have numerous lesbian nude scenes but I doubt that would happen.

That being said, I'm curious as to who the new actors are going to be. Big name stars should be lining up to be in this show after the success and following this first season has had. I just hope the show's creator doesn't try to get cute with it and take a weird direction. The bar has been raised pretty high with this first season.

Yes, spaghetti face with green ears.  The green ears are those green noise reducing headphones he wears.  I just don't get one thing.  If his scars are so scary as everyone made it out to be and so unforgettable, then why didn't Rusty remember it when he talked him right before they were asked to find ledoux?  I still find that scene odd because Rusty says he can tell if someone is guilty within 10 minutes and sure enough a couple minutes into his convo with lawnmower man Marty honks the horn that he just recieved info on ledoux so Rusty runs out of there not finishing his question/interrogation yet you never see or hear Marty get a call about ledoux when he was sitting in the car.  Something still doesn't add up.
Even when Rusty says he wants to tie up the case before he does one last thing and Marty gives him this scared look.
Also remember that his daughters drew a photo of some masked man killing kids and when his wife told him to console his daughter that Marty didn't give a shit and was still trying to watch the basketball game.  I almost believe that his daughter had caught him in the act with the masks on.

I definitely think the lawnmower guy is part of the tuttle/childress family and is involved in the killing/kidnapping of the missing children I don't know if you could say he is the yellow king.  I think the suicide of the drugged up double homicide guy that Rust was interrogating about the yellow king only committed suicide because he knew the yellow king had extreme power and influence and probably could torture him in jail.  One of the guards in that suicide scene was named childress and this piece of evidence further strengthens the idea of the tuttle/childress family murder conspiracy.

Remember when LeDoux was caught, he laghed and said "it's my time isn't it"  He knew he was going to die.  Same with the guy in the jail cell.  Marty went to see his Ex-wife and essentially said goodbye to her, he knew it's his time to die.  When Tuttle's safe got stolen he got killed.  

The theme is once caught you're dead.  Seems Marty knows that Rusty is going to catch them and there is a theme about redemption.  Once caught they give in to their captor and not fight it.

Carcosa is this sort of afterlife thing they want to acheive and when got they think death will bring them there.  marty is ready.  he knew that once Rust came back his time was up and he's going to help him selfishly to get there

Great analysis and I agree. The audience may get a surprise with the way the episode unfolds. I plan on watching every episode Sunday morning leading up to the final. I can't get enough. Sadly, it's ending. But what a show. I hope next season is just as good.

I was reading about it being a good idea to rewatch episode 1 again as it shows you how the show has come full circle which is a common theme.  Going to rewatch it in the next couple days.

If rumors are true and they are thinking about female leads then I'll agree.  Nothing is more annoying than female twinks trying to act like tough guy cops.  Makes me laugh how a 105 female model pretending to be a cop can take a punch from a 250 pound criminal or better yet get him in an armbar and hold him down.

Ended very solidly. I got a little concerned after episode 7, that it might dive a bit too much into standard police procedural fare, but it had enough divergence from the norm to satisfy, and the ending with Cohle and Hart at the end was wonderful.

The entire series I was wondering what the fuck was going on.  It was a complete mystery if the cops were good, bad whatever.  Then after episode 7 I watched the making of TD on HBO.  The creator said it was not a whodunnit type show but more of a thriller.  It made me realize neither cop did it.
When Martin said the detective's curse was missing the clues under their nose.  he wasn't talking about himself.  he was talking about the viewer/audience.  We were the ones missing the clues trying to figure out shit that really wasn't happening.
The entire series I also thought why Rusty never remembered the lawnmower guy with scars and at least he puts that to rest where he admits his fuckup and didn't figure it out when the guy was dirty and didn't stand up.
There was so much to take away from this but I'm not disapointed at all.  just a great fucking series.  And if Mathew didn't secure his golden globe and emmy through the first 7 episodes he surely did in the last scene where he breaks down in tears about his daughter's death. 
Man, I couldn't stand the fucker and now I wish I could hang out and have a beer with the guy.

May have been the best 8 episodes of serious television these eyes have witnessed.  I am hoping the writing is solid enough that a season two will be very good as well.  Who knows, if the show manages a handful of seasons, maybe 5 or 6 years down the road Rust and Marty will be game to return.  One can hope.

A lot of loose ends that didn't get explained but I understand that the focus of the show is about the detectives themselves.

The last scene between Rust and Marty was great. It seemed Rust came full circle despite his nihilist beliefs. Hope season 2 can be just as good. The bar has been set pretty high!

It was brilliant to keep them alive.  Even though a lot of loose ends were there I think a lot were red herrings to throw the viewer off.  As Marty says the detective curse is they follow the wrong clues and miss the one's under their nose.

If they do a season 2 which HBO still hasn't annouced one thing for certain is that Matt and Woody will not be in it.  But by leaving a lot of unanswered questions and the face Rust said that they caught their man but there's still a lot of them out there means there's a lot of work to be done.  it allows HBO to bring those cats back for season 3 or 4 but instead as the main characters supporting the negroes or maybe a new unit in the CID.  I just hope HBO doesn't give in the whiny feminist whores and focuse on female detectives instead.  There have been numerous attempts on network TV to do this and each time they fail. 

We also need to see more of Dadario's tits.  Maybe a whole season investigating those magnificient mammaries.

The negro cops were starting to talk about the satanic cults they started to uncover before Marty cut them off.  Could the that there is shit going on, not just in religious schools but public schools.  Like Marty's daughter was saying that her friends were daring her to draw those photos.

I do like how Rust realized that life isn't meaningless and that humans just need to hold hands and extinct themselves.  It was well done finally making him laugh when he opens the tiffany's box to find a pack of cigs.

They also left a big opportunity for  future season with Gov. Tuttle when the news said the FBI quickly proved that he had no ties to these crimes which we all know was bullshit.

it was 8 hours of pure heaven.  The big shame is Woody and Matt will compete against each other for Emmy's and Golden Globes and Matt will probably win but they both should win.  It should be the first time they give both actors in the same catagory an award. 

I was totally bummed that this series had to end.  The way the last 2 episodes rushed through they could have easily made it 12 total episodes and told more of the story.  But 24 is coming back and Game of Thrones is coming back so I am stoked for some killer TV to continue.

Season One storyline is over.

Quote
Even though the first season finale just aired last night, we already know what the second season of "True Detective" will cover.

The first season featured Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as detectives in Louisiana on the trail of a killer with satanic cult connections. In a new interview with Hitfix, "True Detective" creator Nic Pizzolatto briefly mentioned what was in store for Season 2.

"This is really early, but I'll tell you [it's about] hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system," revealed Pizzolatto.

This latest bit of information paired with how Pizzolatto told Buzzfeed that he had been reading about the "last 40 years of Southern California government," still doesn't reveal much.

Maybe the second season will deal with the secret connection between the transportation history of Los Angeles and the occult?

What are your thoughts, "True Detective" fans?
Title: Re: True Detective

Secret history of the transportation system?  Sounds boring as fuck.  But if it has to do with Socal then it's most likely about coyotes bringing over immigrants or drug smugglers.

Hard women?  I hate this shit on TV with the supermodel detective that weighs 90 pounds that takes a shot from a 250 pound criminal and then takes him down with a high kick.  Total bullshit crap.  true tough female cops are lesbo manly women but they won't cast those type of cops for a tv show, who wants to watch to butchy dykes.

People try to justify it by referencing Silence of the Lambs, but Jodie Foster's Clarice didn't make that movie.  Hanibal and Buffalo Bill did.

They haven't.  But there's rumors because Pizzolato is discussing it publicly.  It's a shoo-in, because if HBO didn't pick it up, it would air elsewhere.

Exclusive: Jessica Chastain Offered Lead Role in HBO’s TRUE DETECTIVE Season 2

It’s hard to deny the most impactful show of the last season was HBO’s True Detective. From the word “go,” audiences were instantly on board with the twenty year journey of Rust and Marty to find the elusive Yellow King. In the end, the series reached massive critical acclaim and was confirmed to be seeking a full blown Outstanding Drama Series for HBO come Emmy time. But with all this critical acclaim comes questions, since the series exists in an anthology format that would completely retool the cast and story arc in Season 2. The major question looming over next year’s production? Who is going to lead the charge?

Recent rumors have stated series creator Nic Pizzolatto was seeking a female-driven cast for Season 2 of the hit HBO series, and now today, Nerdist has learned exclusively one of the names that may be on the bill in 2015: Jessica Chastain.

According to sources, the Zero Dark Thirty actress has been offered a leading role in the second season but has yet to accept. As for official confirmation, we reached out to representatives for Chastain, who have declined to comment at this time.

This would be a major land for the HBO series. Chastain has taken off since Zero Dark Thirty (Interstellar, anyone?), and as she continues to rise, it would be fascinating to see what she could do with a character over a ten-episode arc. As for who would stand alongside the Academy Award-nominated actress, that’s anyone’s guess, but for now, this is the best result we could have asked for.

TRUE DETECTIVE Will Feature Three Leads in Season 2

Get ready to modify that twitter hashtag because we’ve got some juice True Detective news for you. In light of all the recent rumors, series creator and showrunner Nic Pizzolatto dropped a couple nuggets of info regarding the next season of the adored series on the To the Best of our Knowledge radio program. The info has to do with the cast and location of Season 2 and has been transcribed by MTV:

“Right now, we’re working with three leads. It takes place in California — not Los Angeles, but some of the much lesser known venues of California — and we’re going to try to capture a certain psychosphere ambiance of the place, much like we did in season one. The characters are all new, but I’m deeply in love with each of them. We’ve got the entire series broken out with a couple of scripts, and we’ll probably start casting in earnest in the coming months.”

You’d think Hollywood would have shot every last inch of California at this point in our history, but we’re willing to give Pizzolatto the benefit of the doubt on that one. The more interesting tidbit of info here is regarding the amount of leads the season will have. Part of what made the first season feel so personal was the fact that it was limited to the story of Marty and Rust, throwing a third person into the mix would have really cut the amount of time we got to spend with each of them. Still, that story was designed to be a serious take on the buddy cop construct, and thanks to the anthology format, no one says Season 2 needs to follow that path, so this is most likely something Pizzolatto has taken into account.

Post by: James28 on July 12, 2014, 02:57:29 AM
It's becoming too obvious that Marty is in on it.  Let me give you some reasons why.

Marty was insistent that they keep the case when his superior wanted to give it to the task force.  Even though Marty never seemed as obsessed as Cohl he wanted the case to stay with them.
Marty was the one pushing Cohl into the right direction.  The black cops thought it was the other way around.  Marty knew exactly where LeDoux's partner hid his truck. he claimed he missed it and had to double back but he knew his hideout.  Even though he claimed he wanted to call in backup he never took the chance to do so.  Cohl even told Marty to go call backup but he refused.  he wanted to kill Ledoux so that he can pin the crime on him.
Marty knew about the Bike gang and Cohl's Narco days and that's why he pushed him down that path.  he knew that Cohl would have to go under cover and they can do it without involving the police because they would never approach it.  Marty all along has been manipulating Cohl.
Now Cohl makes a big discovery at the end of the episode when he finds all of those little stick tents.  I believe he kept them all in his storage locker and that's why he won't let the black guys see it.  I also think Cohl figured out it was Marty and is storing evidence to protect him.
Marty was pissed when Cohl interviewed another suspect a few years later who knew what was going on.  Marty knew that the suspect would rat him out because he's seen him before and that if they went to interview him he'd be called out so he got that phone call made to ensure he killed himslf before so.
What if Marty hadn’t honked the car horn and sent he and Rust careening to the bayou compound of Reggie Ledoux and, instead, searched the school together when Rusty was interviewing the caretaker of that school?  Marty wanted out of there because Rusty was getting close
Just thinking back, Marty playing a little dumb but he is smarter than the show lets on.

Of course would this be too obvious? The writers have been brilliant and maing Marty the killer or involved would be too easy and too sloppy

Bet you're feeling like a fucking idiot now heh  :-\
