since it came out, every 3 to 4 month i watch it again, and again and agian, its like a book for me

Yeah it is pretty awesome. I showed it to a friend and he told me the same thing

Ehhhhh idk the ending felt criminally rushed, I feel like all they needed was 1 more, 1 more episode tie everything up. Other than that it’s a masterpiece, and seriously some of the greatest television in the last 20 years.

@@Lite727 my one critique is I thought Marty’s father in law was gonna be the reason his daughter was so messed up. I though the father in law was going to be a part of the carcosa cult.

@Tony Maraj I’m not the only one who thinks that Marty’s daughter was molested by her grandfather. Look it up online for yourself

Why? Their stories were told. It was a perfect show, any sequel involving Rust and Marty would have been a terrible idea. S2 & S3, whilst not perfect like S1, are really good shows. I've watched both several time.

cant do that show is to profound, cant expose the entire rabitthole, it has a platto.

@@arthurballs2754 exactly limited series are way better than dragging something along for 8 years

I agree

@EddieVanTuber I went back to season 2 and loved it. Collin and Rachel are superb

I just finished the first season and am now heading to KZfaq for more content and discussion. What a show!!

I just finished s1 like a few minutes ago and I'm taken aback! This is the best TV show ever.

Just finished season 1 ,best 8 hours of my life

I agree with you on being jealous with first timers but it ain't that bad either for a rewatch, for me TD s1 is as good as TV gets.

@@astrobiology6218 lmao L

Thank you I wanted to know why that was shown to us. I kept hoping it wasn't going to be a twist of Marty being the murderer and that it had something to do with that.

@@ErinJeanette 'Time is a flat circle.' “Everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again.” It’s just a reminder of a broken man doing what he’s always done because he can’t stop. But in that moment I thought what you thought too

I think too, its just part of his anti consumerism non-materialistic outlook on life. He literally lives in a back room inside a tavern lol. Even when he had a career, he had a mattress on the floor. I can relate (though i do have furniture lol) because I just dont buy things unless I absolutely have too. I dont want to sleep on the floor but the things i own I have had for over 15 years. My laptop runs windows 7…… I went through a glutton phase about 20 years back, made money & spent money, that was my entire point in life. Thats just sad & ignorant. Now I buy less & experience more with a focus on education. Free lectures online & library books. No degree, just learning for the sake of learning. Once u break away from the materialistic reward system its like coming from another planet. Every aspect of life is dominated by marketing, every person u know is still living that lifestyle….. Yet, u see everything differently now.

Not only is the brake light still broken; the original bulb is still in there. Great detail

@@danielonley7684 After re-watching this episode on Bluray, we can clearly see the brake light completely intact & unharmed in any way after having his body hit the truck & fall to the ground. I dont know if this is a production oversight or if we were never meant to connect the 2 scenes together?? I assumed watching the first time through that we certainly were suppose to remember the fight when seeing the broken tail light, but now, im not so sure.

I’m on my 3rd watch through right now and just finished episode 3 last night and could not agree more. The juxtaposition of their two characters, which is really driven home on screen by Marty, really helps Rust Cohle shine that much brighter. Marty follows a traditional universal morality but doesn’t understand his own hypocrisy regarding his poor choices resulting in infidelity and being a poor husband and father. Cohle is either amoral or subscribes to a moral relativism that one would think cause him to be a bad person; but, despite this, he actually acts more in line with a “normal” moral compass than the religious fundamentalists he’s surrounded by. Which also adds to his disdain for the day to day monotony he’s subjected to. Harrelson’s every-man detective performance that fits into a neat stereotype is played so well that it really gives McConaughey the perfect balance to let his character be as interesting as he is. And it’s exacerbated by how much Cohle sees through Marty and his honesty in showing it. When it shows Marty cheating the first time and showing up at work the next morning in the same clothes and they have the confrontation where Rust tells him to clean up and Marty gets in his face, Cohle knew he was projecting his own inadequacies and bad choices onto him, which is why he told him “if you’ve got some self-loathing to do, that’s fine.” While Marty was pissed at the time, that also was the reason Marty was comfortable enough to ask Rust if it’s possible to love two women at the same time or if he wonders if he’s a bad man…because he knew at that point Rust had probably a better insight into who Marty was than Marty did himself. And Rust wasn’t hamstrung by the inherent hypocrisy of the dogma surrounding them, which meant he would be honest. All of this is merely me organizing my own thoughts lol, and just to say, that the show really doesn’t work without both of them together. Rust is such a great character because of his juxtaposition with Marty.

​@@chadd3299great analysis, I'm certain that that's all accurate

Hes really good playing hypocrite good husband. Ive seen that in real life. He potray that role perfectly.

I couldn't agree with you more. I just finished watching it for the 4th time and I'm mesmerized.

ABSOLUTELY ❤️

Watch the Sopranos

Bruh this show is ain't nowhere near as good as Fargo

@@michaelgarcia1328 nah bro you are dreaming, fargo season 1 is great but nowhere near true detective.

It's like Rust and Marty are the two halves of yin-yang.

The final shot is so beautiful when we see that Marty made peace with his entire family who were there to comfort him, and he embraces Rust and vice versa. The light is winning.

😂😂😂

😂😂

I work 2 FD-EMS Jobs. You have no idea. It is unsettling how much I identify with this show. Just finished watching it AGAIN....so good

bro for real, the show feels grounded but there is a sort of mystical aspect to it, I think the music helps.

🎯

It's a MASTERPIECE

I'm with you. Season one had a similar sense of undefined supernatural elements lurking around every corner that the early bit of twin peaks had. Like, there's some deep, very old evil at play along with the evil men who are aligned with it trying to keep the truth from being uncovered.

I have to chuckle at reading this. I'm a Lafayette native (well Carencro if you want to be technical, I suppose) and was pleased at seeing a lot of the south Louisiana views. I got to have some great conversations with friends about those landscapes. I also can feel you on the remark about Lafayette General 😅

Why do you think Rust was cool with Marty getting him outta there? 😜

Interesting take, I think arguments could be made on both sides on developing Erroll Childress more, the mystery surrounding him and lack of identity was one of the most suspenseful and entertaining parts of the show, and perhaps developing his character may have detracted from that? Although on the other hand it would have been amazing to understand and see more of Erroll Childress character developed!

Nah bro Fargo season two is way better

I think the lack of development for Erroll is suitable considering the "real" villain is given the entire season to develop - that being the group behind Carcosa, the Tuttles, as well as the general corruptive power of decay; the literal manifestation of The Yellow King

I never even considered that Rust could be the killer, the show didn’t even really hint at it, it’s just the detectives who suspected him.

@@ChrisM-bn5vr yeah it was pretty obvious. Thats why I said 30 seconds they let that accusation marinate for barely any time before he walks through the abandon church CLEARLY not the killer

🎯

He is far from a narcissist. Marty has a lot of narcissistic moments not rust. Rust needs no validation.

Well said and God bless you

@Cynthia Behra It's quite disappointing listening to the speaker of this channel describing rust as arrogant. I think that comes from his own bias towards religion and this becomes clear when he describes Rust's transition away from unwavering arrogance and dogmatic certainty towards being open and willing to question the nature of our existence when in fact, Rust's argument of arrogance was that of the believer being arrogant in his belief that "all this is for me". Rust is pessimistic but also a realist. And it's the reality of the world as he believes it to be which disturbs him and so he he is far less "arrogant" and far more in a state of hopelessness. At the end of the season he finds peace and hope in the possibility of a realm outside time where you can experience the feeling of loved ones lost. This isn't about Rust suddenly discovering God as he never mentions that in his epiphany. McConaughey is a believer in real life but he was willing to explore his character's ideas with honesty and vulnerability and even admitting that Rust made a lot of sense in his monologues. If the speaker of this channel could have been that honest about this aspect of Rust's views, the review would have held more integrity and value but he was swayed in misrepresenting atheism than understanding Rust's mind on its own merit Im deeply sorry about the loss of your child. I know it's possibly too much to hope that you find peace from your despair but I truly hope you can find a way to learn to live with a life without your dear child. I wish I could send you love to you and your loved ones. Bless you ❤

Sally Field in what? Eye for an Eye?

I thought carcosa and the yellow king was a separate story from the cthulu mythology? Not done by Lovecraft.

@@rickyray2794 Possibly, but it's all included in the Call of Cthulu RPG, so I may mush it together in my mind by accident.

@@ttobinupinit I never did get around to playing that, is it still worth it?

@@rickyray2794 The Call of Cthulhu ttrpg is well worth it if you have a good group to play with.

Carcosa and the Yellow King were made by a separate writer , years later it was unofficially included into the Cthulhu/Lovecraftian mythos be modern writers that continued lovecraft stories. The genre specifically is called cosmic horror where the univers is big cold horrific place filled with untold horrors and humanity is meaningless and tiny compared to the big picture

Cosmic horror is a theme of the series, goes hand in hand with Lovecraft.

@@NM-ev7pu yeah carcosa and yellow king gave it away

there a bbc waiting in the dark for you. you moms welcole it, im sure...

You make a good point. Rust before the denouement would have never said looks like the light is winning. He would have called on the facts he no doubt knew, that someday the last photon from the last star will streak through space and fade away forever, leaving everything that ever was in infinite darkness. And that's IT. No sequel, no rewind. The Yellow King triumphant.

@@JG-oi5gg yea. Last big black star to strike

that's on point. Totally agree with you. I'm just wondering how to find your responsibility.

Vanity are the ways of men... all is predestined as it is written

@Jethro Derp haha makes sense in a way . The irony is that most people go after these things in search of happiness or in cruder terms, pleasure.

@Jethro Derp If your friend thinks having children causes a lot of suffering, he doesn't no shit about life. I'm not even married yet and I already know what it would feel like to have kids. You know for many their kids, is the 'purpose'.

@Jethro Derp Well you sure do give a fuck or you wouldn't have even replied. 😂

There’s a few shots in true detective that definitely are inspired by tarkovsky, such as the scene In the first church they find when the pieces of wood are sticking out around the two detectives

Is there any way to find the true stories behind it?

@@LaGeRcs I thought they were just a bunch of old dudes with a lot of money that went to the woods to larp as gay and do canaanite rituals?

S2 was shit .. end of- tragic. S3 ... okay , not great .

Maggie said it best "Rust is a intense man but he has integrity"

Well I'm sure there are more probably 🙆

I respect your opinion, and its legal. Although I think you didnt watch really a lot of movies, esoecially outside USA.

@@tinotrivino you are wrong.

There's so many more.... Watch more stuff. Not only English works.

PC 01 why does everyone take my comment so damn seriously??? I was being tongue and cheek!!! Hence the fricking smiley emoji!!! Does no one have a sense of humor anymore for crying out loud??

@Jethro Derp Lol, it's for you to find out. No one can find it for you.

@Jethro Derp Suicide never occurs, unless it's done willingly, and it's never done willingly to kill oneself.

Finally a good intepretation

@Jethro Derp heroic death is a ticket

but you use the cast of the walking dead.. rick as batman glen as night wing n carl as robin

i think there might be better casting options for all of those..

@@Andyguy212 probably so..

Not everything needs to be fugggginggggg superheroes

@@dysplasiagiraffe4845 batman more of vigilantly story

Fukanaga was the Director.

That's nice but may I know where you got this understanding from?

@@anthonygibson5561 Mostly from reading the Bible and seeing the clear symbolism of the necessity to not let the world or the evil of men keep the main characters from pursuing goodness, realizing their own flaws and perspectives, and instead chasing the ideal of protecting and helping as best they can, but seeing the symbolism was mostly reading the Bible and seeing the clear moments of change with the characters and plot, and how they had had years of either self hatred or shame that had caused a spiral of bad decisions and then once they had decided to instead commit themselves to solving the case and helping the world or something greater they then have some true happiness and security in the future.

@@thewilhelmscream7912 it's hilarious how deep the confirmation bias is with you god botherers. Reading the Bible is actually the BEST way to get someone to realize that it's bronze age bullshit...if you go into it using your critical faculties. If you want some real insight into the nonsense you've used to try and overcome your fear of death, then I'm happy to help...thusly. Good luck clearing that bronze age language virus out of your brain. “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” ― Epicurus

Rust doesn't view himself as being weak and he definitely wasn't beaten into submission by anyone. He isn't ashamed of himself or his actions. He is a very responsible person. He never ran from his despair but learned to live with it.

That's odd that I didn't get a notification about your guys comments, I would have wanted to reply sooner, but I understand your perspective, I'm a massive skeptic of everything, especially anything related to spiritual hokum, I'm a Christian man because I can look at documented cases from neutral unbiased historical accounts with no possible gain to the people documenting these documentations that corroborate major events and miracles in the bible having occurred and to be part of the historical record, and the stuff I see from the scientific evidence like the fact that the planets structure, positioning and such all indicate a specific care to human beings, like us using the stars for positioning and how we have a unimaniganably good view of specific views of the galaxy and how our exact distance from the sun keeping us in the most ideal pocket to cater to having living organisms on our planet, having survivable oceans, atmosphere and plantlife, and our moon giving us tides but not so far it spins off in to another orbit or too close and smashing in to the planet which would cause the orbit to be thrown off in to nothingness of space, even looking at the simple yet extremely intricate design of the cell, the human body and everything in nature have a clear purpose, basically showing to me that there is a conscious creator of this, it all has design and it being in a world of that leans toward our dominion of it, such as we have no dominant predators of humans, and that we are the only creatures to gain sentience enough to create high functioning tools and society beyond our base instincts of survival, to the point we are caretakers of the planet to not just keep us alive but everything else, which is also touched on in the bible of us being the stewards of the earth and having a responsibility of keeping it in a good status, like a house sitter, but ultimately the only reason I really feel that Christianity is the best belief system, for me and I hope for others is I've looked at countless religions, pure scientific doctrine and ways of living that all ultimately end in selfishness and death with not caring for others or even just not even having happiness in as a consideration, I have a relationship with a being who I can't see in person, but I can see the love and care everywhere I go, the obvious planned beauty of the planet and the people on it that show His care and patience with me and everyone else, I don't have to give up free will, I don't have to trade anything, all I do is decide that a God created the universe with a plan to have us all share in love with him ultimately giving us a better life with each other and Him, I can see non biblical history showing humanity apart from God almost always hurting each other, and abusing society based on selfish means, but also documenting a man named Jesus who seemingly out of nowhere began teaching people, anyone, rich, poor, other nationalitys, anyone, that God loves us, cares for us, he is there to sacrifice himself for us to have a relationship with us and bring us to a place of forgiveness of our clear selfish bias, I love it, it's like finding out 2000 years ago a person knew who you were to your very core and they took a bullet for you just so you could know them and be a better person than you would be before learning about it, I have nothing to lose, but everything to gain, I realize this is hard to accept and it involves a massive amount of looking inward and taking a legitimate hard look at oneself, but I've had a clear benefit from it, both in my personality and in my relationships with everyone, both Christian and non Christians, I hope this insanely long response didn't ramble on too much, I wanted to touch on some the more clear things from the world around us that indicate God to me, let alone the benefits I get from my personal journey with using the Bible as guidance in my walk. I hope you guys respond, I love talking about this stuff with people, so many people avoid talking about important stuff on KZfaq, oh also the comment asking about why I thought it indicated the character in true detective being beaten down was the fact he held so much shame and regret about the relationships he had with his past wife and loss of the child holding him in a shame and depression spiral, which I've seen and dealt with myself, thanks guys. :)
