So I checked this out after reading this thread and about to finish the 5th episode, and I have no words.
This is the best story I have ever seen or read, and the acting and production have me in awe. There really is nothing I can compare it to. It is in a class all by itself. I am engulfed by this....astonished. |

Except, I kinda feel the exact same way about it. Actually, I'm right there with you in my awe of disbelief. Every scene, another indiscriminate piece of the jigsaw. They don't drop clues like steamy turds on a fresh cut lawn, playing down to the dumbest viewer. Just like a detective working the case, you gotta put in the time to breakdown the episode. Recall, intelligence, attention to detail are rewarded with insight, scope, and perspective. This series solidifies for me is concrete proof that the idea of an open ended series with no formulation of # of seasons or episodes from the start is downright moronic. It doesn't make sense to finally figure out a resolution and place a period at the end of that world's sentence typically just because the ratings have dropped off. That's aimless entertainment to fill time between commercials. True Detective is a culmination of artists all contributing in the formation of what is truly a Masterpiece. |

It's a good show. The one season format will prop it up as welll.

Ill be damned if I didn't have to just get back up out of bed because episode 6 is on my PC and unwatched.
That has never happened to me before. |

I wish it had more episodes every season understanding that it is a very different format from TD. |

And you know what? I'd be 100% okay with that. Here is a good article that strangely parallels the "Detective's Curse"... Instead of trying to dissect every single frame of the show and what it means, who is the yellow kings, blah blah blah....Maybe we as the audience need to just appreciate what we're watching as we're watching it. It's right here under our nose. http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2014/02/tru...uided-opinion/ |

During the course of my marriage I went to the store for a lot of embarrassing girl things for my wife. Never took any of them into the bar...

That is cool. Seems like a cool guy to shoot the breeze with. Yeah it is hard for them to squeeze that much story in a short season.
