True Detective

[Mike.357]

if you watch episodes On Demand at the end they have a five minute bit with the director or somesuch.  The episode 7 bit was really good.

 

He explained how he did not want the show to be about gore and shock (paraphrasing)  And purposely he showed Harte's reaction to the slaughter of the little girl.  It was very much spot on and left us to figure out how bad things got for the girl.  It was sickening to let imagination paint that picture. He also commented ona clip of Rust taking the Iberia Parish sheriff at gunpoint mentioning that we have seen the face of the killer.  I assume it was the lawn mower man and the sheriff is just a lemming in the killings.  Good stuff none the less.

 

Previews of the final episode had me on the edge of my seat.  

 

I think the series will end without a firm verdict of what happened.

 

Can't wait until tonight.

Can't wait until tonight.[/quote] I agree with you on the lawn mower man and also that the show may allow you to draw your own conclusions....I am thinking either Matt or Woody will be taking a dirt nap when all is said and done...

I am probably wrong,  people around here will tell you I am almost always wrong, LOL.  But I think maybe Harte and Cohle will find out that this group of murderer's is too far reaching to be taken down. 

 

I had not thought about them being killed but it may be likely as the "Animal Head" people must be extremely well connected to law enforcement and politicians.

 

there was one flash in the previews where a man who resembled Cohle was lashed to a bed frame,  You only get a very brief look at him, no clear face shot at all. But he was a white male with long blondish hair,  and he was shirtless.  I have been waiting for the shirtless moment for McConaughey.

I must say I'm virtually speechless at that admission.  :stunned:

Ok, missed the finale last night. Just watched it.

 

WOW! Intense episode. A very good resolution to the series I thought.

 

Don't want to get tied up in all the metaphysical and light vs. dark aspects of the show, but it was a very well done, watchable show. I won't call it enjoyable. To me that implies good and happiness; but it was entertaining in the aspect that it provided a well done story, good characters and plot, with a continuous development of each as it progressed.

 

I will watch it again just to pick up on the smaller points in the characters and the timeline, but not sure I'd want to add this to my collection of movies/series dvds except as an example of some of the finest acting I've seen in years.

 

It's a shame that the big 3 networks spend so much money and the best they seem able to provide is crap like Two and a half Men, The Neighbors, and the Millers. What a waste of time and money.
