True Detective | Season 1 Episodes 5+6 | Unedited Reaction (Patreon)

Every week I'm looking at this show completely differently.Every character gets crazier and stranger. Every plot turn gets deeper and darker.I thought we were getting closer to solving the mystery, but somehow that was only the start?

Those poor kids at Ledoux's compound was hard to watch.And I understand why Marty did what he did. He's never been great at handling that anger.But I'm also sad that those guys died before Cohle could pick their brain apart.There's something bigger going on here. Those weren't the killers we were looking for..There's a Yellow King somewhere still lurking around.Rust continues to fascinate me. He's so consumed by the darkness of humanity but he seems like the only one to actually be willing to look it in the eye. I find that kinda beautiful and strangely poetic. He talks about life having no meaning but he is so determined to uncover this truth. Maybe it's giving him meaning. Maybe it's all he has left. I've been wondering why people on YouTube said "Another reactor to this, time is a flat circle" 😅 And these episodes finally answered that lol. I guess in some way I actually believe that, just in a more positive way. The way Rust looks at it is terrifying. Especially when you look at what happened to his own daughter, those kids at the compound, Marty... Marty just seems to keep making the same mistakes over and over while desperately wanting to believe he's a good husband, a good father, a good man. I wonder how much of his daughters' struggles are because of the instability they've had to grow up around. It's really tragic watching someone convince themselves they're doing what's best for their family only to end up being the very reason it all catches fire.AND MAGGIE. GIRL WHAT ARE YOU DOINGI understand she's reached a breaking point, but using Rust was just cruel. I lost a lot of respect for her in that moment not gonna lie. But now I finally understand why Rust and Marty had such a huge falling out. Haunted Houses.Everyone in this story seems to be haunted by something.Grief, guilt, betrayal, secrets buried so deep that they've almost convinced themselves they're gone.I can't wait to see how this show wraps up next week!See you all there 👀SYNC ALONG VERSION: https://youtu.be/2_jgcCknGs8
