I'm officially entering my detective era between this and Apothecary Diaries right now haha.But... WHAT IS GOING ON HERE 👀🤯

First, I'm really loving the atmosphere of this show. It had me hooked since the intro lol. It's dark, eerie, unsettling, the sound design is so crispy, and it has this constant feel that something just isn't right, you know? I feel like I need a giant bulletin board with pictures, pins, and red string bc there are so many little details that have my brain buzzing.The murder of Dora Lange is horrifying. It's also so bizarre and ritualistic that I can't stop wondering what it all means. The antlers/crown, the strange symbols, those creepy little devil nets, and now this connection to religion and the burned-down church with the drawing on the wall??? I have SO many questions.I'm already wondering about the little girl, Marie Fontenot, who went missing years ago. Something about the family's explanation and even the sheriff's explanation doesn't sit right with me. Then finding a similar devil net in her old home?? Are these cases connected somehow? Is there something even bigger than we even know going on here? Then we have Rust and Marty. WHAT A DUO lol. Rust is such a fascinating person to me already. I was so skeptical about him in the first episode but after episode 2, I am nothing but intrigued. He's incredibly observant and intelligent. But he also feels deeply troubled and pessimistic about life. After learning about his daughter and his past... I understand why he is the way he is though. Why he sees the world with such darkness. His conversations about life and humanity are so bleak, but I also find myself agreeing with it in some way and wanting to hear more of what he has to say. Matthew McConaughey is absolutely captivating in this role!Marty, on the other hand.. Ol' WOOD Harrelson.. SIR 😅 The way he presents himself as this family man while having an entire shameless affair on the side?! The hypocrisy. But his personality is also red flag city. He's possessive, arrogant, manipulative.. The contrast between him and Rust is so interesting because Rust seems so aware of how damaged he is while Marty lives in his own delusional world completely unaware of how toxic he is.I cannot WAIT to see where this goes. I think the two different timelines is very interesting. Why are they being interviewed about this case so many years later? Why are they so interested in Rust? WHAT happened between Rust and Marty?! I feel like we're watching two mysteries unfold at the same time and it's honestly genius. Thank you so much for hanging out with me for this season!I hope you're as excited as I am to dive deeper into this madness 🔎Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿SYNC ALONG LINK: https://youtu.be/nDgTsJXnogEI watched this on HBO Max

It is very much okay if you decide to watch more earlier...i doubt anyone would hate more true detective sooner...

Code Monkey

You may have already finished the season but if not; pay attention to all the surnames that you hear. It will help tie things together as the story progresses!

2026-10-10 07:00 This is a fantastic show, as so many others have said. Of particular interest to me is the fact that it takes place -- and was largely filmed -- in and around south Louisiana. It's a place that doesn't get much attention in popular culture outside of the occasional attempt to make Cajuns or Louisiana folk the butt of another tired joke. Seeing it treated with seriousness and used to create a heavy atmosphere that very much serves the story did my heart a lot of good. I say all of this as a native of the area who drove many of the very roads in this show. I grew up in/around Lafayette, passed through Erath, worked in St. Martinville, etc. I respect the legitimacy this show earned itself by actually using these areas (or ones nearby) instead of some more nondescript areas from "the South" and trying to pass them off as the real deal. If you go there, you'll recognize the feel in those places. Anyway, that's my little bit of nostalgia for where I grew up and pleasure at seeing the place represented in a way I've never seen in any other work of fiction.

I haven't looked up the actor's name on IMDb but the guy playing the mayor in episode 1 was a regular cast member on HBO's "Veep" and played part of White House staff under Julia Louis-Dreyfus' character, Selina Meyer. Is that where you saw him?

KamikazeCDN

Kali getting and feeling brave? Maybe we can get some more tame thriller/horror outside of spooky season in the future? lol One of the best intros to a season/show ever. WOOD Harrelson plays the sleazebag detective so well and he's great but it's all about Matthew McConaughey for me. Obviously he didn't write the words but the way he says them, the way he carries himself, the way he transforms himself during the interview showing the torment he wears - it's what sucked me in when I first watched this series. Add in the creepy, dark, eerie, swampy southern gothic setting with a cult - it's just the perfect location. As for the future seasons, I do agree they drop off. I won't say they aren't worth watching at all if you're a fan of the show but they are not nearly as good as this first season. I think this one was just a perfect storm of everything. The acting, the setting, the story - it all went together so well.

Geoff Futch

Also, about the hats in that picture you commented on: The show is playing it to the audience's unease and perhaps trying to make allusions to cults and the like. That much is pretty clear. There is some historical precedent for those kinds of outfits, though, as some traditional Mardi Gras celebrations and other festivals had people dressing up in similar clothes with the pointy hats and billowy clothes, chasing chickens, etc. It's not like everyone does that stuff in Louisiana, but it's not unheard of.

Dude Longcouch

You've already got such an excellent read on Marty and Cohle! I've always appreciated how their characterizations flip the common script. At first you think Cohle is such a weirdo and maybe a bit off his rocker, but you soon realize he's the most competent and hardworking detective in the whole department. Then they introduce Marty as the everyday reliable family man, but he's actually rather immature and toxic, being a sneaky underhanded bastard and running around with some other woman (who also sucks, knowing that Marty is a married man). I'm really excited to keep hearing your thoughts on the characters as we get further.

Mister Lou

Wow.. second episode might be the one where we bring back the "Y" to Mr. Harrelson's 1st name..?

Paul Walker

Wood and McConaughey have been close friends for over 25 years... they even have a TV show called Brothers on Apple TV right now. But this was right in the the middle of the McConissance and he was really utilizing method acting. Wood thought he was signing on to hang/work with his buddy for 6 months only to spend that time both on and off set with Rust Cohle. I guess that really helped with the tension seen on screen between the two. There's a ton of interviews with the two of them from the last few weeks and it's crazy to see their real life natural chemistry opposed to Rust and Marty.

Steve Mercier

Where the chemistry and the atmosphere is every good as the mystery (and the first time I thought, wow, Matthew McConaughey can actually act...cool).

Ray

Picture is a hint at cult nonsense going on involving children.

Nina

no don't skip the intro. 😱😱 watch it everytime. Since there are only 8 episodes you only get to hear it 8 times!!!

2026-10-18 05:00 Personally I think your hatred for Marty is a bit over the top. Like Marty said, things like that can cloud your judgment a bit. For example - you saying he wasn't alarmed when he saw what his daughters were during with the dolls, you can clearly see in his face that it did upset him. Also that he gave money to the girl who wasn't 18 yet . You can clearly see that it upsets him, even when he's being a hypocrite in many ways. That scene with that woman was great. He actually mentions how f*cked up it is that she has underage girls working for her and she tries to justify it by using women's rights? Like it's somehow empowering to be a prostitute at 17. ugh. Marty has two daughters, so he is very sensitive about these topics of course. And also when you're critizising him because he was away with his family on the weekend and Rust was working. It was clearly their free time and he spend it with his family. Rust works more than anyone else - because it's literally the only thing he has. So of course he's working the case in his free time as well. Doesn't mean that Marty doesn't work. You can clearly see that he doesn't want to bring home the shit he's been seeing at work all day. It's very difficult to seperate your work from your family in this case. Cohle doesn't have anything else so he doesn't have to make that seperation. Which is of course why Marty feels like he has to step out on their marriage and release some tension that's been going on with him. I'm not justifying any of it, I'm just saying he deals with his problems in a very different way than Rust. Rust is in some ways desensitized because of the shit he has seen. Marty is way more vocal about it, Rust just gets to work. It's very obvious when you see how different they react upon seeing the dead girl Dora Lange in the field. Marty is a huge hypocrite that's for sure and he's got some big anger issues and he's a terrible husband. His sense of entitlement is crazy. But you're kind of making him into some kind of super villain, who doesn't have any empathy. which I don't think is the intention. The show just concentrates on two very different detectives, with very different lives, backgrounds and work ethic. None of them gets glorified.

Saniala

Just a regular big Wood Harrelson.

Kirill D.

Ok, fine. I'll watch it again...

Ray

Not a fan of Marty. The scenes where he is stepping out on his wife and him BS-ing her, I skip.

CK12341

it sounds a bit like you are justifying it though lol

Nina

No. Explaining his behavor is not the same as justifying it. My point is that Marty is very very flawed, but so is Rust, just in a very very different way.

Eric Capretta

I never seen this show so imma experience it with you! So far I’m hooked that was really good 😊

Fred Aczon

Man I forgot how good this show is. You are absolutely correct in your observations about Marty, he's definitely possessive with his gf, but I do think the case has gotten to him in that he does want her to be safe. I think him having daughters is also why he's so disturbed about the young prostitute. Speaking of his daughters, it's also established that he's incredibly inattentive with them. Regarding the disturbing play pattern with the dolls, could he have brought his work home where the kids accidentally could have gleamed details without understanding it? Did he really see the dolls posed in a highly disturbing way or is the case getting to him without him knowing? Why do two of the dolls look like Cohle and Marty? Are we seeing things? I have no clue, but that is the name of the episode.

2026-10-12 18:00 Hearing someone who sounds so innocent and.. non dirty, ask, "Is that a titty?" out of nowhere, made me actually laugh out loud, and choke on my mountain dew.

"what is this place" That's Louisiana for you, it pretty much ranks last on every metric out there. If you want a deeper explanation on the mythos of Season 1 I would highly recommend a video by the YouTube channel called Novum, it's long but very good. After you've finished the season obviously.

pinkdino99

So here it is. The best TV series ever made (Agents of SHIELD S04 and From are also up there). There is a Youtube series by Novum which is an 8hr documentary about this series, and a deep dive into the real world history of occultism, religion and cults. He also does Hereditary, The VVitch and Midsommer, all of which should go on your spooky list. Anyone with even a passing interest in the history of the occult will be deeply rewarded.

pinkdino99

Couple of points based on your remarks. First... this area is called the "cancer belt" due to the unregulated manufacturing that poisons the air, the ground and the water surrounding (notice how prolific the factories are in the background and in the titles). This entire area and its people are like a rotted apple. Second... Rust's crucifix which he uses to meditate on "the choice in the garden that led to His crucifixion". This is about the contradiction of an omnipotent God that creates man and woman, and a magic tree that He does not want to be eaten from. Yet He does not put this tree on the other side of the planet, or up an unclimbable mountain, or in the middle of an impenetrable forest, or on an island in the middle of the ocean. No. He puts it in the one place that man and woman CAN and WILL eat from it. And as He is omnipotent, He KNOWS that they will eat from it, and He KNOWS that this leads to His crucifixion. And that is what HE WANTS ! This talks a lot to Rust's mindset. Because he is also barrelling headlong into his own destiny, fully cognizant and fully aware, and also fully without any means of control. More on that later.

pinkdino99

It's almost as if Kali is empathising with Maggie and the kids instead of making excuses for Marty's behaviour.

pinkdino99

My first was an awesome underrated 90s gem called A Time To Kill. Stacked cast based on a John Grisham book.

Nina

It's also not about making excuses, but whatever...

TD S1 is one of my favorite series all time. I lived in SW Louisiana 1989-94. I worked in one of those chemical plants. S1 does a good job of capturing SW Louisiana. Looking forward to rewatching S1 along with your reaction.

Chris

Catching that Cole "knows who he is" in the first two episodes is awesome.
