HBO Show "True Detective"

**Sdotbold** · 01-28-14, 03:01 PM

if its only 8 episodes it has gotta speed up id think....

**Dr Nostron** · 01-28-14, 05:12 PM

All the character development is why I love it - like a slow burn - cant wait to see what happens.

This mafukka only has 8 episodes? In a season, or there wont be season 2?

I understand they got some actors who aren't exactly TV people, but C'mon. 1 season?

That's the point man. They may have another season but it will be a new story and characters and everything. Think "American Horror Story". But this way they can get sweet actors like Matthew McConaghuey and not shitty washed up ones like Gary Sinise and other guys on TV shows. It's a great idea to bring in some huge talent for a single season of television where they are the stars. Also just new stories and new everything every year or so. That's refreshing and nice.

I just watched the 2nd one and the girl from "Hail Pass" is amazing.

each new season will have new characters and story.

I actually think its great so far. Just no way in hell to figure it out which I like.

But yeah just 8 total episodes

**FrozenMAN** · 01-28-14, 11:28 PM

its good show but SO SLOW....luckily this week it looks to pick up

**FrozenMAN** · 01-28-14, 11:30 PM

i'm calling it right now...the church governor is in charge and behind it all.....

**PAULYPOKER** · 01-28-14, 11:32 PM

Not slow at all,

Only slow to non deep thinkers......

I DONT CARE MUCH FOR THE POLICE or politicians but i love seeing the scenes with the thugs on there.

i am about to start season 4. Stringer just got killed so my current favorite character is Slim Charles.

The Wire was written and created by a retired Baltimore PD detective.

**TheLock** · 01-29-14, 12:17 AM

I just saw the nude scene with that hot chick.

OMG.

She's SO hot. I would leave everything for her

**bubblebuttluv** · 01-29-14, 12:32 AM

I don't think this show is slow at all.

I just want to know what the guy walking around with the machete and the gas mask is going to do.

This show is wild.

BOOM!

Hook, line and sinker.

I am all about this idea. Hope this starts a new trend, and I hope John Malkovich gets on the screen as much as possible before he dies.

True Detective S1 04: Who Goes Therewill not be shown until Sun, 9th Feb 9:00 PM!

This is BS!

**Stocks** · 01-29-14, 06:05 PM

I think Woody Harrelson is the killer. With something so slow there has to be a big twist ending.

**Vaughany** · 01-29-14, 06:41 PM

Its amazing! Mcconaughey is different class.

But in philosophical terms I'm what's called a pessimist...

I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution.

We became too self-aware.

Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself -

we are creatures that should not exist by natural law...

We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self,

that accretion of sensory experience and feelings,

programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody,

when in fact everybody's nobody...

I think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming.

Stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction -

one last midnight,

brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.

HBO invested a ton on something they know is good. They're not wasting a show to go against the Super Bowl.

Also, each show will pick up new viewers. You're not picking anyone up when it's running against the Super Bowl.

HBO Subscribers are already vested meaning, HBO will not lose any $$$,Lol......

How would it be wasted when it is aired 3 times on the 1st night?

Not only that you can watch it on demand @ midnight.........

to drag it out..

Only 8 episodes and it is going to win a lot of awards........

I usually wait til season is over then binge watch because of the waiting shit.....

but this one has got my attention , tuning in every week watching the episode at least twice.....

This show WILL break every record known to man.....

Hell, the soundtrack is the bomb as well

Why couldn't he have killed someone back when everything was taking place and then kill again in 2012. I still haven't watched the 3rd episode but in the first 2 it kind of paints Mcconaughey as a bit crazy and makes watchers think he's probably the killer but that would be too easy and predictable. Also when they're being interviewed in 2012 it seems like the cops are more then just asking them about the case and more interrogating them because they know something and think Macconauhey is the killer but its really Harrelson.

**Stocks** · 01-29-14, 10:04 PM

I'm going to go watch the 3rd episode now and see if that changes my mind.

I'd rather have one great season than have this turn into what Homeland turned into.

hmm would they interview them like that though? Rust is given beers and has a knife - surely that wouldnt be allowed if he was suspect?! and Hart is just being interviewed in a side office in his department by looks of it.

**Vaughany** · 01-30-14, 06:29 AM

....

**Vaughany** · 01-30-14, 06:41 AM

Long shot guess that Hart's father-in-law is the killer! Somebody on IMDB posted saying that Hart's wife is involved in some way!

I think both of the detectives in modern day are covering for Maggie Hart.....
There are subtle hints that she is having a tough time psychologically
Her daughters are somehow witnessing the satanic rituals, and drawing pictures of it....the daughter distinctly draws a picture of a guy with a beard having sex similar to the "spaghetti monster"
Cohle is attracted to her, because he is hunting her

In the first episode she knew where the body was before the actual press conference...she claims she saw it on the news.

She chastises her daughter with a cryptic "you are turning something beautiful into something ugly"....at least I thought it was cryptic
