Preview for Episode 6, what did that girl say at the end?
Feb 17th 2014
274
thought she said "he made me watch"
Feb 17th 2014
275
      Ok, cause if she said "you" that could be a big revelation.
Feb 17th 2014
276
           Just saw it again and
Feb 17th 2014

                i couldn't tell if it was you or he
Feb 17th 2014
280
                     You
Feb 17th 2014

                          Guess it was "he"

Not necessarily. Cohle's killed 'bad guys' before
Feb 18th 2014
324
Cohle did tell Marty that Reggie deserved it.
Feb 18th 2014
325
but Marty had never killed anyone before
Feb 19th 2014
330
      precisely why his reaction makes sense...
Feb 19th 2014
332
           That's how I took it too.
Feb 19th 2014
336
exactly -- one of the early Cohle moments is him beating those guys up
Feb 19th 2014

a couple reasons, to add on to what people said above

har-dee-har-har...
Feb 19th 2014

      So you already know what Cohle has been up to the last 10 yrs?
Feb 19th 2014
342
           its probably going to be obvious after we see
Feb 20th 2014

Feb 24th 2014
380
           yes he got played and she admitted to playing him
Feb 24th 2014
392
marty got a nice return on his down payment
Feb 24th 2014

So Cohle shows Marty a picture or video of Marty's oldest daughter

Feb 25th 2014
429
                     The women on the show aren't
Feb 25th 2014

                          yeah but the protagonists are male--

450
                               Some people for the most part

500
                                    who else besides the 2 detectives--

                                         it's becoming a more and more common theme with all media.

373
The infidelity I can understand...Cohle's anger at hart tho? Not sure.
Feb 24th 2014
374
keep in mind it's been 6 years or so since
Feb 24th 2014
376
Think about this too
Feb 24th 2014
379
      i think we should be careful about painting Cohle as the noble crusader
Feb 24th 2014
383
           Oh, no doubt Cohle is flawed
Feb 24th 2014
384
           i don't think anyone is trying to paint him as a noble anything
Feb 24th 2014
388
everything was fucking with his goals
Feb 24th 2014
378
Rus' beef with Hart makes perfect sense to me
Feb 24th 2014
393
The Ledoux scene is symbolic of their relationship
Feb 25th 2014
416
      i think the lack of commitment to the job is the kicker
Feb 25th 2014
419
to me, Cohle is a little jealous
Mar 03rd 2014
507
It's implied Hart let the boys go, right?
Feb 24th 2014
403
      I don't mean whether they got charged or not...
Feb 25th 2014
427
           ah... gotcha

Niiiiice observation.
Feb 25th 2014
436
i don't get why everyone is being so coy..
Feb 25th 2014
425
Because she knows Cohle to be a good man...
Feb 25th 2014
426
isnt it because they dont know?
Feb 25th 2014
430
They called her in because Martin acknowledges that...
Feb 25th 2014

      ok, then nobody is acting coy about it.

you could be mad at her for using cohle but not doing that to marty

Feb 26th 2014

           this is also 7 years after all that shit went down. the stash house,
Feb 27th 2014
481
                Right, Marty having selective memory
Feb 27th 2014
483
                This is a little extreme IMO, since it goes both ways...
Feb 27th 2014
484
                     you're right. and marty had cohle's back with all the iron crusader
Feb 27th 2014
485
                          Yea I agree it leans in Cohle's favor because the coverup is so massive....
Feb 27th 2014
486
btw, we all saw Cohle was strung out as hell in 2002, right?
Feb 26th 2014
464
I don't necessarily think it was drugs at all...
Feb 26th 2014

He was completely hesitant of Cohle's motives...
Mar 03rd 2014
519
Right. Add to that the fact that half the reason they fell out...
Mar 03rd 2014
520
      Cohle knew he would be skeptical
Mar 03rd 2014
522
           Well he could tell he was holding a gun at that point
Mar 03rd 2014

I also suggest paying attention to the item about the show's format, so we don't have to read any bitching about it when the season's over

hollywoodreporter.com:

>True Detective: TV Review
7:19 AM PST 1/2/2014 by Tim Goodman

The Bottom Line
Two wildly disparate detectives work a homicide case in Louisiana that has occult overtones -- and the ensuing investigation envelops both their professional and private worlds.

Premieres
Sunday, Jan. 12 at 9 p.m., on HBO

Cast
Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Monaghan, Kevin Dunn, Michael Potts, Tory Kittles

Writer-creator
Nic Pizzolatto

Director
Cary Joji Fukunaga

One of the benefits viewers (and critics) reap from continued and sustained excellence in the drama field is that writers and directors, perhaps feeling pushed to stand out even among the best, are experimenting more noticeably with tone, pace, structure and visual impact.

This was clear among some of 2013's best dramas -- like The Returned, Rectify, Broadchurch and others. There was something (sometimes a few things) distinct about them that made astute viewers keenly aware that originality was kicking at the corners of their television sets. And as 2014 kicks off, we can add HBO's magnificent and magnetic anthology series True Detective, which premieres Sunday, Jan. 12 at 9 p.m., to the list.

In fact, even though the new year is just beginning, there's a real certainty that True Detective will be filling up the best-of lists we've all just set aside from the past year. Who will forget this out-of-the-box knockout in 11 months? Nobody paying attention, that's for sure.

True Detective has three immediately impressive attributes. The acting -- by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson -- is off the charts. The writing and the concept, by series creator and novelist Nic Pizzolatto, undulates from effectively brash soliloquies to penetratingly nuanced moments carried by sparse prose. Lastly, director Cary Joji Fukunaga has created a beautiful, sprawling sense of place (the series is shot and set in Louisiana). With Pizzolatto writing all eight episodes and Fukunaga directing all eight, there's an overt sense of shared vision going on (at least in the four episodes sent by HBO). Perhaps that's why this series seems so immediately self-assured, as if it was already in its third season. No doubt the chemistry between McConaughey and Harrelson is the driving force behind that.

True Detective is about two disparate detectives brought together on a murder investigation with occult overtones and a strong whiff of serial killer sophistication. It's the kind of case that Louisiana's Criminal Investigation Division hasn't seen before.

Credit Pizzolatto with both an assured sense of craftsmanship in the structure and a novelist's flourish in the telling of the story. The series moves deftly between 1995 when detectives Martin Hart (Harrelson) and Rust Cohle (McConaughey) start working the case and 2012, when both men are being interviewed -- separately -- by two detectives working a new case that has strong similarities (elements unknown to the public, which would seem to rule out a copycat).

Flashing back and forth and revealing bits of the case and personal bits of both Hart and Cohle keeps viewers hooked on each track, while the technique also provides a glimpse at how their relationship changed all the people around them over time.

Is an occult/serial killer premise new? Is the concept of disparate partners chaffing against each other a fresh one? Of course not. And that's why True Detective earns its praise -- familiar storytelling conceits are enlivened by the stellar, riveting performances of McConaughey and Harrelson, the tone-shifting writing devices of Pizzolatto and Fukunaga's ability to nail an establishing shot of Louisiana's vast, contrasting features while also experimenting with fugue states and off-kilter framing.

Put them together and you've got a series that sneaks up on you because it seems both familiar and unfamiliar simultaneously. Just when you think Hart and Cohle are clashingly disparate -- Hart the older school detective and Cohle the book-smart profiler -- Pizzolatto mashes up their backstories to cast doubt on any assumptions.

More impressively, McConaughey and Harrelson look astonishingly different from 1995 to 2002 and in 2012. The physical transformations are incredible.

There's a lot of other fine work being done beyond those actors -- including Michelle Monaghan as Maggie Hart and Kevin Dunn as Hart and Cohle's boss. And the present day interviews conducted by the new detectives -- played Michael Potts and Tory Kittles, also hint at where True Detective might go in its next incarnation.

The plan is for these eight episodes to be contained, with a new story and new actors kicking in each season, though the storytelling structure will remain the same.

Would it be something truly special to see McConaughey and Harrelson keep at it for another eight -- or 16 episodes? Hell yes. It's a tour-de-force by the duo. But there's nothing wrong with keeping things fresh either -- especially if Pizzolatto stays involved.

On top of all of this, by the way, T Bone Burnett supervises the music for True Detective and the impact is visceral -- moody when needed, full-blown songs mimicking the moods on screen and everything evocative and a contributing factor to the excellence.

True Detective, coming as it does after what was arguably the best year for dramas in at least five years (really saying something in our continued Renaissance period), just puts an exclamation point on the topic of excessive quality. Who knew the bar would be set so high so early?

but this might be like The Butler was for me where I'm just laughing inside the whole time at the Madea type costumes these people have on. Woody has had better hair in other movies they probably should've just let him be bald. They look like they are in a SNL skit

he asks for the photos, so they shut the blinds, slip off, and bring him back the case file because they need to know what he thinks. even though Cole is nuts, the detectives are in awe of him. and the smoothness that Cole drops the last line, suddenly opening up both timelines as open-ended mysteries ... yeah, that was some amazing pulp storytelling.

In response to Reply # 0


          

I love they show subtly show you glimpses into the lives of the detectives while they leave just enough mystery about them so that you can't pinpoint why they are the way they are. Nice clues to their character though, Woody cheating on his wife. Matt being a drunk who isn't over his wife leaving and his daughter's death. Is he seeing his dead daughter? or is kind of a ghosts of the past thing where he sees his daughter in all children? W

I also love the young and old looks of Matthew and Woody. to be able to pull off looking both ways without it looking like make up is amazing to me. (random)

anyway...my mind was racing after the first show. What happened to the girl who wondered off with her dad? Did they really catch the murderer or did they kill the wrong person (I'm on the mindset that murderer was killed...not that he's just in jail).

This is in Louisiana. I won't be surprised to see a cult somehow come into play.

That's a LOT of story to tell in 8 hours.

But a strong first episode. Very interesting characters, and pretty well developed for a pilot, too. I'll be watching.

as well as a couple people I've spoken with in the past couple days saying it started a bit slow or they weren't completely sold.

To me I haven't watched a first hour of a series that gripped me like that in ages.

The last eight eps of Breaking Bad were so good it almost put me off of hour-long episodic dramas altogether since.

I couldn't finish watching the meandering in Boardwalk, the ridiculous new season of Homeland or that drearily shitty Ray Donovan after Breaking Bad's finale.

Those episodes piled up on my DVR until I finally just decided to delete them all.

This show in one premiere has brought me back in.

Most uncorny writting in a TV show in a while. Matthew Mcconaughey is becoming my favorite actor slowly but surely. Dude's acting is top notch in pretty much everything I've seen him in, in the last coupla years. The only side eye was Woody's wife. Is it polite to ask so many question to a dinner guest you meet for the first time? It was almost like a police interrogation.
The slap made me howl so hard. I expected a head butt or a judo chop, dude slapped him like he was a side chick.
I'm in for the whole ride.Great television.

In response to Reply # 0


          

but, from some of the reviews, i guess i was expecting it to be more original. some reviews were really selling "it sound familiar but you've never seen it approached/done like THIS"

the way it was shot, a serial killer leaving a naked girl with antlers on her head in the middle of nowhere by a tree, one of the lead investigators being brilliant but kinda crazy/antisocial? felt a lot like Hannibal

a killing happens that exactly resembles a specific serial killer from over a decade ago? Definitely have seen that done in Criminal Minds, maybe another crime drama as well. The killings "taking a toll" on those who investigate them has also definitely been explored in Law & Order and its spinoffs, and Criminal Minds.

there wasn't really anything "refreshing" or "new" to the investigating-a-serial-killer genre to me. It felt like The Killing, Hannibal, and Criminal Minds in a blender...with the potential to possibly better than all three.

Either way it feels pretty new to me so far & I still have no clue if the subsequent eps will be similar or stand apart on thier own as well

yeah, we've seen detectives fall apart in an investigation before, but I get the feeling that Rust Cole was falling apart, but the complexity of this investigation gives him purpose he didn't have. it's inverted in that respect. he's only invigorated by the study, it's saving him from himself in a twisted way.

there's also the "good guy" Detective Hart (Woody) who really seems like he might just be a charming, nice guy, as opposed to a really moral or ethical guy. and while he remains suspicious and negative towards Cole, he can't deny his talent. it creates an adversarial relationship, tied together by a tenuous work bond, that really makes for an interesting partnership.

add on the multiple timelines, macabre killing with religious / cult themes, strong stylization, and very sophisticated plotting, and it definitely feels like "new" pulp to me.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

a little slower than the first; understandably so because they have to start building character more. I wasn't mad at it.

Also, those were the most remarkable breasts I've seen in recent memory.

53. "Another great episode"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

What's funny is plot wise it's moving pretty slow...I SHOULD be frustrated as a viewer.
But the world and character building they are doing is so great I don't care about the serial killer.

It's pretty much all about Rust and Marty who are just putting on a powerhouse case of acting.

-That confrontation about Marty's cheating and that "You know that I know" moment.
-Marty with that sly smile when the Chief told Rust to Shut the Fuck Up.
-Rust telling the investigators what lead him to the psych ward
-When Marty used his mother in-law's critique to hurt his wife during that argument: that look of "I fucked up" but being too prideful to do anything about it.
-Marty confronting his side piece...well wasn't too much acting in that scene but WOAH at those things. Who wouldda thought.

In response to Reply # 53


          

the actual case about the serial killer is unimportant to me...there's no action there and I pretty much think I figured out that scenario...(i could be wrong) but of course, I could be wrong. the more important thing, to me, is the dynamics between these two detectives. What the hell happened to make them fall apart?

granted, i do want to know who the killer is (although i'm sure this might lead to some sacrifice because they are in a cult type thing and it's not one killer but many). but shit...why did they fall apart and why aren't they talking anymore. And how did his wife introduce Rusty to a girl that he almost married?

I think this is mainly because it's revealed in the end of the first episode that the killer in the first case was eventually caught. There's a whole lot of suspense lost when you know the outcome of the case.

Him trying to cuff the side piece behind the case was bad enough, but I thought it was wild how cavalier he was in telling the detectives interviewing him how he slept around. Is it known that he divorced the wife from the past already? I don't remember him saying so, but I guess it makes sense given how splintered the relationship is and the fact the wife seems to know something is up.

In response to Reply # 85


  

          

Very good catch. I just saw him not wearing his wedding ring on the third episode. In fact, I think the show highlighted it a bit when Woody's character kind of flexed his ring hand and looked down at his ring-less finger.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

1. I believe the first shot of the series is a building on fire. Am I correct? In fact, I'm pretty sure it's a shot of the church at the end on fire.

2. Chronologically, the interview with Rust takes places **before** the interview with Martin, right?

1. yes. i just looked back at it, it looked like a field area tho...but i feel like it was probably the church

2. again, we gotta assume. it seems to me that Rust was being interviewed first since he started speaking first. but its hard to tell that time line. but it seems to me they know a fair amount about Rust when they get to Martin.

I remember fields being on fire and don't remember the church being shown separately, but your memory/vision might be better than mine. I do remember seeing the odd tree sculpture figure being lit on fire in that first scene you're referring to though.


>2. Chronologically, the interview with Rust takes places

That's a good question, but it would make sense that Martin would be easier to interview since it seemed to me at least that Rust was much more in the wind and harder to find that Martin.

I wondered about this, but I really couldn't place what the fire was. being the church burning would make a lot of sense.

>2. Chronologically, the interview with Rust takes places
>**before** the interview with Martin, right?

I wanna say it was April 26, 2012 for Cole and then May 1, 2012 for Hart. they give you the time stamp once in the first shot of the first episode, and exact date aside it's definitely Cole's interview that was earlier.

Yes.

The slower pace, all the nuanced reactions, the cinematography, the script is so sharp, the make-up, them titties, and of course all anchored by the performances of MM and Woody.

My highlight in episode 2 was Woody's talk with the bunny ranch lady in the trailer...brilliant writing.

In response to Reply # 82


  

          

My favorite segment of the episode is at the bunny ranch.From the time Cohle whoops those redneck mechanics to when they get there and Hart act all Captain-save-a-hoe-ish about the underage chick, while Cohle is all business, digging and observing. I also enjoyed the "Wash up, you got some pu$$y on ya" scene. I love how Hart loses his shit and how he later explains that he cheats on his wife to "decompress". He does it for the family lol I don't think this show can disappoint me. They're doing everything right. Top notch premise, top notch cast, top notch writing, the mood and pace is perfect for me. It reminds em of Twin Peaks. TV for grown ups with brains.

I felt the conversation in which the Madam argues that the girl is better off at the bunny ranch and it's an issue of female liberation was a bit too, here comes OKPs least favorite expression, on the nose.
Took me out of the moment for half a second and made me think about the show's writers.

Other than that, perfect hour of TV.

He's got a point, the way Rust is being filmed makes him look like a suspect/interrogation, while Woody's scenes make him look like he's telling a story to a bunch of fellas in the office.

99. "okay, yes, i rewatched and forgot. but"
In response to Reply # 95


  

          

the point is how starkly different the conversations/interactions seem with the two characters. one is acting like he's been arrested/detained and is being interrogated (sends them for beer. requests/demands to smoke like in an interrogation).

despite the physical presence of the camera, the whole colouring of the two interactions is so bizarrely different. Marty's is blue and bright and kinda "shoot-the-shit" in nature, and Russ's is beige and orange and grimy and very...tense.

so much so that it actually crossed my mind this morning "are they even filming marty?" now obviously i was corrected here and they are indeed filming both, but the nature of the question remains the same.

In response to Reply # 94


  

          

..has them setting up the camera (complete with date & time) to start Hart's deposition

Cohle's deposition was actually recorded a few days earlier, but isn't shown until after Hart's.

its obvious that they're in separate locations, most likely used as misdirection.

i didnt rewatch episode 1. im taking about the physical recording of Russ and Marty.

one seems more like an interrogation (russ) and one seems like a conversation.

i couldnt remember if we'd actually seen them filming marty like they do russ.


did not intend to start a shitstorm of "SMH's"...smh.

102. "awesome episode. Cohle is fucking twisted. (I guess **spoilers**, FYI)"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

they've been letting Cohle interject at all the worst moments with existential obsession, but that totally unexplained tin man (at one point during the tin man construction I thought maybe he was making little models to help explain a crime scene, but no...) with the Lone Star right in the middle of its chest.

and the detectives just standing up and leaving after Cohle's long, unsettling monologue -- did they want to stop the questioning? did they just need a break because they were getting upset? did they need to re-convene to determine how to steer the conversation so they didn't get so sidetracked?

but his final bit about about the release he sees in the dead bodies' eyes ... christ ... talk about bringing the anti-religious diatribe to its ultimate, grisly conclusion.

(and then still the tiny moment where Hart is annoyed when Cohle takes the incessant, slow stroll back to the car after their LaDeux (sp?) call comes in. just great TV.)

Really digging this so far. Great script and the acting is right in step. What's got me reeling though is the show's atmosphere. It's all so damn bleak ... Loving it. The cinematography is particularly engrossing and transports you to this fading memory of a place, as Rusty called it.

Looks like shit is about to pop off next week, too.

when you start pondering the meaning of life at like 2 am, but he just does it in a 10000x more intelligent and poignant way... this show definitely sticks with you for many reasons, but that is the main one so far...

Love this show, don't mind the "slow-burn" one bit, but damn it seems like they really ratchet it up at the end of each episode to add that much more annoyance that I gotta wait another long week to see the next episode!

130. "The first 20 minutes blew me away"
In response to Reply # 111


          

I started to wander a bit at the 2/3's mark but the ending brought me back. Just a great show and I love how they just drop huge pieces of the puzzle without making a big deal about it. Like when he said, "That's how we got our guy." and it just moves on while the audience is sitting up saying, "Wait, they got him!"

Shea Wigham was great as the preacher. And I think he is uncredited in this.

112. "+ oh yeah -- Cohle mowing Hart's lawn? sheeeeeeeeeeit."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

what's amazing is that Hart is still struggling to amend his perception of Cohle as anything besides a crazy, lonely, sad figure, when the truth is that Cohle is more powerful, willful, talented and at peace with himself than Hart realizes. the way Cohle was daring Hart to say what the problem was during the driveway confrontation, so good.

In response to Reply # 112


  

          

Although there may be some truth to the fact that Cohle isn't as cock-sure or stoic as he seems, Hart is certainly trying to rationalize/attribute Cohle's behavior by labeling it under a schema that fits within Hart's cognitive paradigm...shit is cognitive dissonance through and through.

144. "It's the worst feeling for a man to feel useless at doing work in his ho..."
In response to Reply # 112


  

          

I complete relate to what Woody was feeling there. My
ex-girlfriend used to tell me that she didn't think I
would be of much use as a "handy-man" around the house,
even though I would tell her that I've dry-walled holes
in my walls plenty of times, opened up my lcd tv and fixed
the capacitors on my own, changed light fixtures in the
apartment, etc. She still insisted that, in her own words,
"you seem more into fashion and music than handy things, el
oh el". It got to the point where she'd ask her good guy friend
to help her move and tell me, "it's no big deal. I'm saving
your help for the big stuff. I just want you to relax and
do your thing." This dude was no threat, whatsoever, and
she even tried to be sweet about it, but nothing makes a guy
feel less manly than a woman who looks to another dude as
"more handy and useful". It's up there with being castrated
and forced to join the soprano team of a choir.

146. "Each episode better than the last"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

The start of this episode had me spellbound. The religious music; the pastor overdoing it;the faces in the congregation and the discussion that ensues about the intellect of the followers, all that crowned with Cohle giving one of the best rants I ever heard about the triviality of religion and how fear is the main motivator for worship. That whole sequence is masterfully executed.From the start to the point they leave. The fact that their car has to be pushed outta there brings some edginess to it all too.


Two things that happened in last night episode that got me confused, is when they get a hold of the suspect with the burnt face. It's not clear how they caught him. It went from saying they were gonna call an APB and Boom! They're in the box. Did I miss how they nabbed him?
Also the whole story about the daughter's drawing something offensive at school. They never show or tell us what she actually drew.That scene is fitted pretty abruptly into the episode, like it has some kind of significance but all it amounted to is Hart and wife getting in some argument and getting it on.Maybe that's all it was.

The end is just as epic as the beginning. Matthew McConaughey has a raconteur's eloquence. You can't help to listen to him. Another genius rant about a dream and the monster that shows up at the end, paused, looking like Bigfoot.

2 weeks wait? That's gonna be torture.

the guy in the box was just a perp that was picked up who matched the description they were looking for who also had a mo that had sexual acts...the 2 girls at the church said the dead girl was seen talking to "tall man with shiny skin...like it was burnt." rust does the interview and has dude so shook he is ready to confess to anything, but all he had done was a few b&e's and after each one he had to rub one out before he left the scene. rust shakes his head to hart to let him know this guy is not the one they are looking for.

they show the drawings right before hart and his wife get it on while hart is sitting on the bed. just some crude drawings of dicks and boobs. if you remember from the previous episode where hart gets the girls for dinner he sees the actions figures they were playing with and how they are arranged with 4-5 male figures standing around a naked female figure laying on the ground.

So they nabbed him from APB they sent. I saw the subtle head shake that Cohle did to Hart, realizing he was not the right guy. Rust has a gift of making perp lose their shit " literally lose their shit" in some instance.

>they show the drawings right before hart and his wife get it on while >hart is sitting on the bed. just some crude drawings of dicks and >boobs. if you remember from the previous episode where hart gets the >girls for dinner he sees the actions figures they were playing with >and how they are arranged with 4-5 male figures standing around a >naked female figure laying on the ground.

I really missed that one. I watched it twice back to back too lol. I remember the dolls on ep 2, which raised red flags on what could be happening at Hart's house.

Thank you good looking out.

maybe hart's daughter is the copycat? what's the time difference between the old and new murders? 16, 17 years? she's obviously damaged somehow

eh

probably not, but maybe. i'm just spitballing here

351. "Hmm shit I'm just going through the info-- is it harts wife?"
In response to Reply # 162


  

          

That's why choke is there at the house-- trying to get info. That explains why the daughter has seen some of these images. Grandfather/ father in law is a sick dude who started the cycle

404. "going back to this theory"
In response to Reply # 351


  

          

Did Cohle know exactly what he was doing when he was fucking Hart's wife? Was he getting some intel from the pussy? Is the video he shows Marty a video of him fuckin her? Did it go down differently than how it was portrayed in Episode 5? Did she seduce him? Drug him? Threaten him? Did he have video all along? Why didnt he show it to Hart?

Or does the video show her involvement. I think its something to do with her rather than the daughter.

Im gonna go back and watch teh scene with the father in law tonight/


Why is their younger daughter seemingly not as affected?

nah. hart mentioned the perp in the present day interview that they had found someone who matched the description but didn't turn out to be the guy.

they did show the pictures. it's more a continuation of hart's facade of being the ultimate family man who, in reality, cares more for the basketball game on tv than his daughter's wellbeing.

>2 weeks wait? That's gonna be torture.

just read that. gonna be a long couple of weeks.

Stupid question I suppose since it appears the two leads are at odds and already caught the killer, but I want this to go on.

>same show. different stories

So different lead detectives for the next season I'm assuming? Interesting idea; almost seems like a fast food franchise in a sense. As long at the same writer(s) are at the helm, I have faith in the show being top notch. I was afraid this show was going the BBC route in terms of being a one off series.

at the end of episode 3, when Martin's giving Rust the scoop on Reginald Ledoux in the car, he asks guess who was his cell mate for the last six months of his bid, and Rust guesses right

it's still on the darknessbecomesyou.com website, but they cropped it out...

a lot of people were commenting on FB, including a woman who's son is in the pic and some older guy who was in the last episode, maybe they were afraid of spoilers coming

180. "the details..."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

..the best thing about a great mystery is the journey of discovery.

in the 1st ep of this series, we're pretty much given the synopsis of what will eventually become the series conclusion. we know that cohle & hart were involuntarily partners on a serial murder case. we know that the case was presumably solved at some point, but eventually that was proven to be incorrect.

what we don't know are the details that led to cohle & hart's alleged miscalculation and eventual fall out. essentially, we're watching two cases unfold at once.

that being said, its difficult to understand how anyone watching this show can afford to NOT pay attention to every detail. the writing is incredible and the delivery is damn-near poetic.

still, the best action occurs between the lines.

183. "Interview with Nic Pizzolatto (swipe)"
In response to Reply # 0

>Inside the Obsessive, Strange Mind of True Detectives Nic Pizzolatto by Andrew Romano

Nic Pizzolatto was a college writing professor whod never penned a TV script. Now, as the creator of HBOs revolutionary True Detective, hes the hottest showrunner in Hollywood.
Four years ago, Nic Pizzolatto was a college writing professor with one little-known collection of short stories to his name. Hed never written a single TV script. Now, as the creator of HBOs True Detective, hes the hottest new showrunner in Hollywood.

How did he do it?

When I meet Pizzolatto one recent Wednesday afternoon at a quiet Italian restaurant in Malibu, thats the mystery Im hoping to solve.

In my opinion, True Detectivethe story of a pair of retired Louisiana cops and the sinister murder investigation that forever changed their livesis not only one of the most riveting and provocative series I've seen in the last few years. It's one of the most riveting and provocative series I've ever seen. Period. The acting is brilliant. The plot is addictive. The allusions are rich. The philosophy is mind-bending.

And the auteur-anthology formatone writer, one director, two movie stars, and one story per season, with a beginning, middle, and endcould be revolutionary. As I wrote last month, not every narrative is best created by committee or best told as an open-ended epic. For a certain kind of plot-centric series, the True Detective model could alleviate some of television's muddling structural issues and liberate showrunners to take full advantage of the medium's greatest asset: time. Some characters deserve eight hours on screen. In a theater, you can't do that. On TV, you can.

Despite being a relatively recent California transplanthe moved west in 2010Pizzolatto, 38, looks more camera-ready than most TV writers. Grey leather jacket. Black unbuttoned henley. White undershirt. Aviators. Careful stubble. He resembles celebrity chef Rocco Di Spirito, or perhaps Tom Ford in landscape mode.

He orders the whole branzino. I get the linguine vongole con bottarga. After exchanging a few pleasantries about the weather and our respective journeys to Malibu, we finally get down to business. For the next two hours, Pizzolatto reveals the secrets of his creative processand tells me what to expect from future episodes (and seasons) of True Detective.

AR: Lets start with Matthew McConaughey. As Rust Cohle, McConaughey gives what I consider the best performance of his career.

NP: Matthew just got itthe dialogue especially, as baroque as it is. He was like, No, no, this is the way this man talks. And the 2012 Cohle talks differently than the 1995 Cohle. Matthew has this incredibly complicated chart of where Rust Cohle is emotionally and physically at every beat of those 17 years.


AR: A written chart?

NP: A map of his mental and emotional state. Thats why you notice that Cohles delivery in 2012 and 1995 is different. And thats significant. If wed had a lesser actor than Matthew playing Cohle, I would have had to rewrite the role. Not every actor can handle dialogue of this verbal complexity, and even fewer actors can understand the ideas and intentions hiding behind those verbal complexities.

But if you have thoroughbreds, let em run. You dont try to make your dialogue more common. You gauge exactly how great their skill is and you try to use that skill. To me, it would have been misuse of actors like Matthew and Woody to do something saferto not give these guys steak to chew all the time.


AR: Part of what I think is so interesting about True Detective is that its an even purer form of auteur TV than, say, Deadwooda show that was scripted in a writers room and realized by multiple directors. True Detective is one writer, one director, one story per season. You control the story and tell it from beginning to end.

NP: I was on set the entire time. I worked closely with the actors. And whats airing are the cuts Im very happy with. I think you can have the writers room and still have the auteur experience, and you can still have that auteur experience with multiple directors. But for me it was just more of a question of, do I want to spend my days in my place of interiority actually creating, or do I want to be sitting at a table talking about creating? And for the first season I was already too far ahead to bring anyone else in, and I couldnt see a way it would help me.

I dont know that Ill write every episode in the future. But then again, I might. Even with what Im writing now, Im already at the point where a) how do I explain this to anybody else? and b) do I really want anybody else to touch this?


AR: I take it that youve started to write the second season.

NP: Thats what Im writing now. But we dont know if were going to go ahead and do it.


AR: I thought HBO was onboard.

NP: I have a deal with them, and that doesnt change. And I think everybodys hope is the next thing I do with them is True Detective. But if I write scripts that nobody likes, I dont think well be doing True Detective.

I just dont take anything for granted. I made True Detective like it was going to be the only thing I ever made for television. So put in everything and the kitchen sink. Everything. You have to be able to enjoy it as a rollicking story with compelling, authentic characters, but if you can enjoy it on that level, it can just keep going. There are multiple associations, multiple layers. It was madness. It was just crazy. Id work for 48 hours at time and then Id sleep for 20 hours.


AR: Why were you so possessed?

NP: Its like, you got one shot, man. Dont you want to swing for the fences? And in an industry like this, its one kind of heartbreaking if something is exactly what you wanted and people dont connect to it. But its a much greater heartbreak if something doesnt end up how you wanted it to be and then people dont connect to it. Because then youre like, What am I even doing?


AR: You were really haunted by that idea.

NP: Ive talked to other showrunners. If theres one whos more involved, I havent heard of it. For my sanitys sake Im going to have to think of a way to pull back. I was having conversations in my head 24 hours a day. I had Maggie and Marty and Rust in my head 24 hours a day.

***

AR: You came into television as a novelist. Was writing something you always wanted to do?

NP: Sort of. I was raised by television. It was my first cultural window. It was a constant companion.


AR: What shows did you watch?

NP: When I was a very little kid, we didnt have cable. So we had three channels. I remember the stuff that was most inspiring to me as a kid, that I would actually sit down and watch, was a lot of the stuff from the Golden Age. They would rerun it at night. It might be on PBS. Im not quite sure where, but I remember seeing a couple of Playhouse 90s. And the Twilight Zone and The Untouchables would get rerun. But I was a visual artist for a long time before I even took up writing. Thats how I got to go to college.
