Gotta disagree with this. I've seen DeNiro turn in piss poor performances in some B movies. Not arguing against his better performances, though.

I just don't see MMC ever getting close to Taxi Driver or Godfather level performances. Thats a pretty damn high bar.

Anthology series, so it's a self-contained story in 8 episodes. If there's another season, it will be with a different cast of characters.

I finally found that insatiable rap track from when they're at the drug fiend's crib.

I'm thinking I'll buy this - should it ever become available.

The god damned T bone Burnett soundtrack may be the best part of an excellent show. Lucinda's "Are you Alright" when Ruston goes undercover ad starts transforming is nails.


In super interesting sideline: I work with a Ruston Cole who was a former hardass cop. Wears a ponytail and looks like a biker. The writer of this series went to college in our town. I asked "Russ" if he knew about the series and he said tons of people have been asking him if it's based on him. Said as far as he knows he never met the writer during his time in Fayeteville.

Does that Cohle have a nihilistic worldview too?

Although I'm not sure Cohle is as much of a nihilist as he lets on. He's displayed morality and a concern for justice at times throughout the series (in that last shootout, for example, he went out of his way to protect children). It would be interesting to know what he was like before his daughter's death and how much that experience formed his cynicism. Since the investigation in 1995, he's also seemingly gone even further down that path.

He went deep undercover at that point. That was his cover for why he disappeared for a while and went off the grid. It's bullshit. He was really preparing to infiltrate the biker gang and didn't want the local PD interfering. Years later, he's sticking to that story in the depositions, bit we, as the audience, are privy to what actually happened.

As I understood it, that was just a cover story to get him off the beat for a while so he could go undercover with Ginger's gang.
