A good thumbnail.

*Spoiler Ahead* I remember when this series originally ended, there were some negative reviews about how it ended. They basically thought it should have had a darker ending, with one of them dying. I remember one comedic reply to all those people, saying they were just upset that they realized they were watching a Buddy Cop show. ;-) Which it actually was. *Greatest Single Season of TV Ever *

Another example of why I don't pay any attention to main stream critics.

For many of us, True D (and the soundtrack) was borderline life changing. Welcome to the club

Larry Darrell

Paul mentioning the soundtrack below, reminded me of something cool. Forgive me if someone else posted about this earlier. The intro song for True Detective is titled, "Far from Any Road," by The Handsome Family. They were not affiliated with the creators of the show and did not create the song for the show. Brett and Rennie Sparks, Husband and Wife, formed the band in 1993, and had had only minor to moderate success, up until people affiliated with the show emailed them about using one of their songs from an album 10 years earlier. Because of True Detective, Millions of people got to hear their song, and were introduced to The Handsome Family. Also, licensing music for shows and movies is one of the few ways non-mainstream Musicians even make money these days. Here is a clip of Brett and Rennie Sparks talking about how their song wound up on True Detective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkDOFflCvwE

Agree this is a stellar season of TV, and like the way it ended. The depiction of the Marty and Rust connection at the end was cool. I like the way season arguably ended with a sense of hope. Sheriff Childress was never shown on the show. Instead, just heard the name. Thanks for sharing that personal story in the outro. I can't imagine. “Once there was only darkness. If you asked me, the light is winning.”

He (Errol Childress) refers to Rust as "little priest" both as an insult, implying Rust's smaller stature in comparison to himself, and as an affirmation of Rust's perceived role in their shared darkness. –according to Google AI. The intellectually-disabled woman (Betty) who was intimate with Errol (the man w/the scars on his face) and told the story about grandpa in the field was Errol’s half-sister. Errol and Betty were half-siblings sharing the same father. Errol asks Betty to tell him a story about "Grandpa" while engaging in an incestuous act with her. Betty then recounts a story about their grandfather catching her alone in the cane fields, implying sexual abuse. The “grandpa” in the story was the actual grandfather of Betty and Errol, not their father. Errol liked to listen to his sister/lover Betty tell the grandpa story.

Rust had previously mentioned in earlier episodes that he has synesthesia and he even mentioned the taste in the first crime scene!

Stretch

Ive been told season 4 was also quite good too!

I think that what I like best about season 1 is the character arcs for Marty & Rust. The mystery element is great, but ultimately this a story about those two men. I also like how the story wrapped up. They got their guy, but they didn't get everybody. That ain't what kind o' world it is. But, despite that, it ended on a hopeful note. I'm not one who necessarily needs or even wants a happy ending. But, I thought was a satisfying way to leave things.

Larry Darrell

Ditto. That’s what I liked about it most too. No matter how crazy and dark it got or how deep the murder mystery investigation went, the Heart of the show was always Marty & Rust’s Journey together.

rayfinkle

I’m not much of a cryer for shows/movies or even real life but the ending of this makes me sob lol

Henkan

I'm sorry, whoever said that was either lying or has dubious taste. Season 4 was the worst season BY FAR.

RP

Despite the bad rap, season 2 is pretty good , even if it didn’t get to season 1 heights. I’d definitely remain a patron for that reaction. (the opening song is even better IMO, one of Leonard Cohen’s last great gems). Didn’t watch S3,so no opinion there. S4 was awful and won awards for it. Baffling. 🍻

Clay F

I like S2 but agree with her thought to move on from True Detective.

Stretch

Looks like it was critically aclaimed and was nominated for 19 emmys and 3 golden globes. Also has the highest ratings of any of the seasons on rotten tomatoes. So I think ill give it a watch.

JRCortez

In episode 5, Rust and Marty interview Guy Leonard Francis in prison who gives Rust info about the Yellow King. When the interview is over, Francis is escorted back to his cell where he commits suicide. One of the two officers escorting Francis is named Childress, but we never hear any more information on him. Also in 5, Rust returns to the original crime (antler girl) and discovers a large crude "wreath" left on the tree but no info is given.

Hayden Coil

Yeah season 4 depressed me. It's a travesty; goes to show that modern day critics don't know their hand from their ass. Also it's praise was likely inflated due to its political themes, being in line with most mainstream review outlets. It's a fact, regardless of your leanings. We see this trend constantly. But it was genuinely a terrible season and an insult to the series' namesake. Inarguable. Even the series writer/creator Nic Pizzolatto had a negative opinion of it, then outlets lambasted him for speaking the truth. Just how they slammed season 1 for being "misogynistic."

Jayson Phillips

Girl! You have got to do a reaction to KPOP Demon hunters on Netflix! It is amazing!!! Look it up on youtube it is sweeping the reaction section!!

Sean Maher

The bigger reason for him calling Rust 'Little Priest' is actually something that Teegan said during the episode where he's interrogating that pharmacy shooter. Rust had just lambasted preachers for conning people into doing what they want by allowing their followers to relieve their worry and guilt. Rust then goes on to demonstrate the exact same tactics in his interrogations. He acts as a priest for the people he interrogates.
