Non marathoned True Detective...

tuddle offed himself, pretty sure

the lovecraft lore was great, and i thought it had a perfect ending for it

as it's an anthology every season it could have amazing actors doing crazy shit. i think ti's a great idea for a format. instead of the procedural law and order (which, by the way, i love as a show, and have seen most of them i am sure) this serial drama offers so much more

If you didn't notice it the first time, go back and rewatch the scene when Rust robs the drug house with the bikers. There's an amazing single take scene when he's escaping that runs for a few minutes uninterrupted. Pretty impressive technical filmmaking, especially when you see all the moving parts in the background and a fence climb involved. A more action packed version of the back-of-house entry to the club scene in Goodfellas. I read that they shot that one scene about 6 times to finally get it right.

Great series. Can't wait for the next installment. They're doing what they should have done with the AMC series The Killing (which lost my interest after season 1), and that's to reboot with a completely different story in a different setting every season.

It was meh. Dialogue was stilted and unnatural. The acting - shockingly - was meh. When Woody's character watches the video and starts screaming "oh god, no, NO" or whatever I'd one of the cheesiest acting scenes I've seen in recent history.

Overall very very meh.

I liked the show and am looking forward to season 2, but I'm not really interested in rewatching the first season. It did turn me on the The Handsome Family and particularly their album Singing Bones, though I bought all of them.
