true detective season 1

the i think about this show now that its done the more i
get bothered by it

it started out REALLY good and had cool atmosphere and twin
peaks vibe. then the 4th episode happened and it wasnt bad
but it was a real change from the 1st 3. it shifted from a
show thats mystical but ordinary 2 something extraordinary
but concrete and real. plus it was totally pandering 2 the
breaking bad type demographic if u know wat im talking
about.

the shift from mystical/ordinary vs extraordinary/real
continues for the rest of the show mostly (i dont remember
the details of eps 5-7 that much honestly) and especially in
ep 8. where they reveal and kill the badguy. its wasted
potential imo. like i wanted the yellow king/carcosa to be
like abstract ideas instead they showed it as a real place.
it was just sad they had the drawing of carcosa in the
notebook and what a surprise in the ending episode there it
is. i hoped they could keep this theme thru all the future
seasons and revale it as some mystic force over years. maybe
they can still do this i guess but i guess i just ddint like
how everything was so LITERAL in the finale

i dont get mad about the fake out symbols tho. they just
prove how ppl who think they know eveyrthing on the internet
are really just dumbos who think there way smarter then they
really are (ie ppl who think breaking bad is better than
dexter, or worse , ppl who think mad man is a good show at
all cuz that show is the friggin WORST)

also the whole show was basicly a rip of dexter season 5

however I love what I've seen so far. Woody's character is
fucking annoying, but Rust is very well written/played.

btw I can say I've been lucky with mini-series lately, this
TD and "The Fear" with Peter Mullan are quite unique among
the usual flow of tv shit.

I had a hard time following what they were saying. They have
such thick southern accents and all the characters are
mumblers. Had an ear pressed to the speaker the whole time.
Aside from that, good show.

i know what u mean i had 2 rewind in a few spots cuz i
couldnt understand the main guy, the show even made a joke
about it cuz in the last episode he says sentient meat and
the other guy thinks he said scented meat

sort of a lame joke but there wernt that many in this show
so u take what u can get i guess lol
