great show. has a fincher feel to it.

It's hard to grasp that there will only be 8 episodes, but when you consider how much they focus on a more movie-like cinematic feel, it makes sense. Last night's episode could have been an hour of any great full length movie.
And whoever the next season actors are, they've got big shoes to fill. McConnughhay and Harrelson are completely awesome.

Season 2: How about Casey Afflek and Chaz Bono?

In fact, the more of the show you watch, and the more carefully you pay attention, you'll find a number of Easter eggs aimed squarely at hardcore fans of the weird fiction genre. I'll touch on a few of the more prominent ones, but I have a feeling the rest of the series will be a bonanza for true detectives of strange fiction.

I like MM's duel character role from past to present. He does all all the drugs, drinking and smoking for you on screen. Woody's character is a snooze juicer of a typical cop who is married. I'm border line liking the the show. It lacks psychological thrills, and mentally disturbed works of a show like Hannibal. Nothing like a rags to riches startup meth lab like Breaking Bad with a teacher/ student twist. I'm just curious to see what Woody and MM will do so far.
- I believe you're very wrong about Woody. His character is the key to all of it.meffid

everyone talks about game of thrones, but this is not only engrossing but also wholly original. best show on tv right now.
the twin peaks parallels are half right, i think, i doubt this show will get into anything supernatural. but all around, 10/10.

This was a pretty interesting read:
- The mark of a great show entices theories and speculation. Episode 5 has this is spades.

This series is slower than molasses...

Crazy. After #5 the whole mode of the series will change. Interviews and perhaps flashbacks over... what next? Shit is about to get dark.

Also interesting tidbit..."Pizzolatto points out something in regards to Cohle requesting beer during his interrogation: drinking during his questioning makes everything he says inadmissible in court."

speculation with possible spoilers below, so just ignore me if you'd like:
marty telling the detectives "if you talked to rust, he was getting a read on you, you weren't getting a read on him" is pretty telling - especially considering the end of episode 5, i would imagine cohle's been using his time off the grid to research / hunt who he believes to be responsible for the murders (up to and including the detectives who are interviewing him in 2012, hence calling them "company men"). i doubt very much at this point cohle will turn up to be the killer, but you never know.

So amazing. As I've seen people say on YouTube, Rust is the "true detective" and is continuously investigating the murders and the people involved after leaving the police force ( assuming that he left, and isn't still undercover or something.
Show is so damn good. I've never had a show grab me like this. It's hard to pull off creepiness and darkness like that. The movie Se7en comes to mind constantly.

Loving it!

Great show!
I saw the name "True Detective" keep coming up on TPB and thought it was some stupid reality show about detectives. Never would have watched without seeing this thread:)

def love that intro...
show's 'good'... but it's a bit slow...
As it's very early in the series I'm guessing these first few ep's are to settle us into the story / set the mood / introduce the characters...
... zombies come in ep 6.
- futuremongolian0
It's not slow. At all. In 5 episodes it's covered more ground than most shows do in an entire season.
- exactly.. now compare this to The Walking DeadRamanisky2
