True Detective staring Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey is the best drama on TV this season, even beating out my former favorite Justified. The series drips with Southern atmosphere, mystery and grittiness. The story follows a 17-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana centering around two miss-matched detective partners that you would never want to meet in real life. Definitely not for the squeamish but if you like your mysteries hot and sticky sit back and enjoy. Wayne
I absolutely loved the mini series. What a refreshing change from everything else.I only wished that they had given more details about the Carcosa swamp cult. All I got was vague hints and references to what it was, and it could have been handled better. Considering that MM and WH spent their careers and their health trying to track down the cult, it really deserved better definition - what the cult was all about, what the references about "higher plane" was all about, what rituals they practiced, and who the other members were. They could have easily done this with a 5 minute wrap-up commentary in the end.Or maybe I am just picking nits - I can forgive just about anything in this series considering how good everything else was - acting, premise, locale, script, cinematography.
Hold on, you said you wished they went into much more detail about the cult, then say it could have been easily done in a 5 minute commentary? That'd be a very packed 5 minutes. Actually, I think the whole reason the ending was left open is BECAUSE there's MUCH MORE to the story (ie the other members, their practices, the public organizations they're tied to, etc. etc.). This leaves sooo many avenues for the next season to start with. What I hope happens is that all these individual series / stories / cases converge and in the final series it ALL comes together and you're left sitting there so blown away by the whole thing that you almost can't believe what just happened and can't believe it's the true end.
