If you aren't watching this show you're doing television 100% wrong.

Adjusted your post for a more complete picture of the situation.

ROFL epic


Yeah, the show is really good. I'm so hooked I find myself a little upset when the episodes end because I can't wait to see what happens next.

great show!

I noticed a huge bump in this show's popularity when Alexandra Daddario showed her titties. Also a huge bump in Daddario's popularity. Two massive bumps on that gal

I think the show actually had it's lowest ratings in her nude episode haha.

What I'm loving about this is watching it from week to week instead of binging. None of my friends are talking about House of Cards right now because we're not caught up in it. I watched 4 episodes the other day, Frank did some depraved shit big surprise. True Detective theories and comments are popping up in so many conversations for my group of friends it's an amazing thing to be a part of actively experiencing for 8 weeks.

Honestly, I don't think I've ever been this into a TV show. From the writing, to the acting, to the cinematography, and post production (music, tones) this show is like nothing I've ever watched. People are equating it to watching Twin Peaks when it was on TV.

Apparently I'm the only person not enjoying this show.

After every episode i'm kind of like....god that was boring.

I'm getting hooked on this show. McConaughey is compelling. I didn't realize he was this good of an actor before this. Good stuff.

Missed last night's episode but it's on the DVR so I'm gonna go watch it now. :D

Yeah, he pulled a career 180. From corny rom-com "actor" to award worthy renaissance man.

Check him out in Mud, Killer Joe, and obviously Dallas Buyer's Club.

I'm excited about next week... this conversation over a beer is gonna be a game changer


And when the episode goes off my 60 inch gets a big bird shot at it with the words "fuck you" behind it

[nilbog]

Good show.

Got caught up last night.

Half agreed. I think three of the first six episodes felt like they unraveled very slowly, and then the pace picked up at the end of episode five and really started to build some suspense.

McConaughey's role is exactly what I expected. (If you haven't watched stop reading, even though this isn't really a spoiler) - The "detective" portion feels like his better roles, and the more current portion feels, to me, like a rehash of what we see from him in everything else. Harrelson starts off slowly, but that is purely character design, and I felt like he did an above average/pretty good job in his role.

As for the non-acting stuff? All of it is really good and accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do - even on a per-episode basis, letting the plot unfold without fear of losing viewers due to having some weeks where not much happens. Somehow I applaud that and dislike it at the same time.

At least it's better than True Blood! With the possible exception of TB's first season, before it got too ridiculously overexaggerated, campy, and overcrowded with characters.

I loved him in Mud!

I just found out that season 1 is only gonna have 8 episodes. So next week is the season finale according to the trailor. Why do these HBO bastards make fewer and fewer episodes every season? It's irritating because as usual fans will have to wait a full year for new episodes.

Bring back 12-episode seasons! And goddamn them for sucking me in and leaving me hanging. :mad:

[Shannacore]

Naez and I started this today. We've watched two episodes so far. VERY good, liking it a lot.

[Satanicmajestysrequest]

Love this show, I can't believe McConaughey isn't gonna be back for season two, like he is the character that makes she show!

[Hailto]

I heard the whole cast is going to be different. Confirm/deny?

[Sidelle]

I can't believe I didn't know about this all new cast thing. Goddamnit. Lol

From what I just read in the article below McConaughey is the only one for sure not coming back. But I find it curious he says "we" won't be back.

"No, no, we won't be back for season two," he told reporters backstage at the Academy Awards Sunday night. "Season one was finite."

I'm not sure about the whole cast, I sure hope not! It's gonna be bad enough without Macconaghey, not Woody Harrelson too! Can't wait for tonights episode.

[Akuma]

Loved this show. I knew I'd find an official thread for it somewhere on here right after I just spiced up my avi and signature with some TD glorification. Rust Cohle is the man.

Also I highly recommend checking out "Galveston" The novel by the writer of this show. It's a great read & the main character Roy has a lot of similarities with Rust.

Or that ending to I think Episode 5 when they dress up like cops & go try to jack the gang bangers. Man that was an incredible few minutes of footage right there. This show really got me enveloped in it's character development as well because it was so damn rich with the dialogue. I love Rust's philosophical rants. Amazing stuff.

Yeah man complete different cast, and narrative. It will be a whole other set of peoples drama, reality with the "True Detective" being the only subjective theme still but as far as continuance from season 1? Nope. The writer/creator Nic P has spoken about it.

[Shannacore]

Watched the finale last night. SO good.

[Akuma]

Watched the finale last night. SO good.

You from Abq huh? I was born there. All my family lives out there.

[Visual]

Just watched the first episode. Couldn't make it the whole way through. McConaughey's steven seagal impersonation isn't working for me.

Surprised at the 95% approval rating on IMDB. It either picks up or you all have poor taste :p
