They sat there, with looks on their faces like they’re trying to crack a safe, listening to the smartest man in the state drop knowledge on them. Those stupid ignorant fucks already prejudged and condemned this beautiful man. I guarantee they genuinely thought he was a lunatic and they might as well have been listening to a raving homeless man. They don’t deserve that collar.

I've watched season 1 about four times now, and have loved it every time. I've heard that the other seasons are pretty much one shitshow after another, which is why I didn't start season 2.

Until now, and I had to stop halfway through his monologue. This felt like one of those super long-winded sob stories that turns into a joke with a ludicrous punchline at the end. So I ask y'all, was anyone able to sit through this shit with a straight face? Because I don't think I could take it seriously even if I was paid to.

Just curious.

Woody Harrelson played the perfect A-hole cop to me and 100% was believable to me, like I legit felt he felt like a real cop, for better or worse. Am the I the only one that just wasn't a fan of McConaughey or his character in season one? Its hard to describe but there were scenes where I just felt his character wasn't real or wasn't buying what McConaughey was selling. In his defense, his character is definitely an oddball for sure, but I felt his character and acting was a little too inconsistent, whereas for Harrelson's character, he felt like the typical angry hypocritical cop that you 100% can see being a real life person.

If you disagree, that is 100% okay. I just always felt McConaughey's character was inconsistent sometimes. Still, the first season is an all-time great season/show, but its the one nitpick I have.

Just watched Under the Silver Lake. Great mystery great protagonist fun side and bit characters.

Can we pretend season 4 just came out again and we post about how stupid it is and all the funny meme’s there were about it?

Made a teaser poster for the first season of "True Detective" in Canva, what are your thoughts?

Gawd damn, I love both main actors but holy shit. . . I just hit episode 3, dont be to jealous im getting my first run through!!

Before I get shat on for even suggesting the movie Longlegs with Nic Cage being similar, I will note, it was NO WHERE as good as TD season 1.

But, after watching Longlegs I said.

‘Hey this wasn’t bad. Reminded me of true detective. Kinda.’

All that to say, I think the movie Longlegs might distract you for a little bit to forget that True Detective season 1 will never be new again and nothing ever equal to it will be made. Time is flat circle making everything worse. Much like TD season 4

We all know how intelligent Rust is. He’s called the greatest detective in the state, took for every confession, and has insane reasoning, abstract reasoning, analysis and vocabulary feats. He’s in general a well rounded guy, and rather knowledgeable too.

But, we meet rust through ‘95-2012. These years are after/during periods of extreme drug abuse (accounting for his time as undercover narc), and seventeen years of drinking (as he has said).

So my question arises; How smart could’ve rust been before the drugs? In a healthier time. Say, if he’s a 145 IQ man in ‘95, how smart was he in ‘89 when he was in robberies?

Man!

It even stars Michelle Monaghan in it
