This is the best story I have ever seen or read, and the acting and production have me in awe.
There really is nothing I can compare it to. It is in a class all by itself. I am engulfed by this....astonished.
That sounds like total bullshit and a bunch of cliché hyperbole.
Except, I kinda feel the exact same way about it. Actually, I'm right there with you in my awe of disbelief.
Every scene, another indiscriminate piece of the jigsaw.
They don't drop clues like steamy turds on a fresh cut lawn, playing down to the dumbest viewer.
Just like a detective working the case, you gotta put in the time to breakdown the episode. Recall, intelligence, attention to detail are rewarded with insight, scope, and perspective.
This series solidifies for me is concrete proof that the idea of an open ended series with no formulation of # of seasons or episodes from the start is downright moronic. It doesn't make sense to finally figure out a resolution and place a period at the end of that world's sentence typically just because the ratings have dropped off. That's aimless entertainment to fill time between commercials.
True Detective is a culmination of artists all contributing in the formation of what is truly a Masterpiece. [Reply]
Ill be damned if I didn't have to just get back up out of bed because episode 6 is on my PC and unwatched.
That has never happened to me before. [Reply]

I felt the same way about my post after reading it, but it's just a genuine statement

I like Game of Thrones. Pater Dinklage works out at my gym.
I wish it had more episodes every season understanding that it is a very different format from TD. [Reply]

I'm starting to think that there really isn't going to be some crazy twist involved at the end which all these online theories are speculating over.
And you know what? I'd be 100% okay with that. Here is a good article that strangely parallels the "Detective's Curse"... Instead of trying to dissect every single frame of the show and what it means, who is the yellow kings, blah blah blah....Maybe we as the audience need to just appreciate what we're watching as we're watching it. It's right here under our nose.

During the course of my marriage I went to the store for a lot of embarrassing girl things for my wife. Never took any of them into the bar... [Reply]

You could be right. Just like how many kind of felt at the end of The Usual Suspects before it got all the cult film buzz, and were able to go into watching it the 1st time blind. Word of mouth simply has a built in negative effect of self imagined expectation. Doesn't mean it ruins it, but it alters taking in that experience. [Reply]
