True Detective S1 is a masterpiece still.

Hmm, she did Tigers Are Not Afraid, which looks pretty good:


Did you ever get around to watching this? What did you think? I watched it recently. Man what a depressing movie. My wife is from a poor south american country and she said this movie isnt too far from reality sometimes. I enjoyed it though.

Oh yea I'll explain all the bullshit episodes when they come. Slaves and Masters (James's episode) will be fun lol.

It's perfect. Only Sopranos is above it in terms of TV shows and only because there's far more episodes in the latter. I also love Six Feet Under. Those three are untouchable imo.

I know S3 is meant to be good, how is S4? I was afraid to watch any other season lol.

So I also recently rewatched S1 and it was eye-opening again in terms of how formulaic and generic it makes so many other shows feel. Everything feels like some Old Testament biblical wrath is coming down any day now. Southern Gothic is some of the coolest shit on earth to me and S1 is all the coolest shit of that in one stew.

That shot of Reggie Ledoux (sp?) with the gas mask is pure nightmare evil. Special kudos to that.

Season 4 is woke trash. It wasn’t written by the same guy that wrote seasons 1-3.

I managed to get through the first 2 episodes and shut it off. So fucking bad.

Episodes 1-5 are the only tv that I would put at the same level as the best movies of its genre.

It's as close as you get to a perfect 5-hour crime story ending with Rust checking the school.

6-8 fall into common tv trappings but it really doesn't spoil the best season of a television series.

Btw, i just noticed that google pushes s4 for most true detective results ugh.

I just watched this a few months ago because everyone was yelling on the internet about how great it was. Boy...everyone was spot on. What a great show.

Now I need to watch:
  • Peaky Blinders
  • Chernobyl
  • Shogun
  • Watchman
  • The Mare of Easttown

Highly recommend Chernobyl and Mare of Easttown.
Absolutely! Chernobyl and Mare are top TV as well, among the best stuff I've seen along with S1 of TD.

Just rewatched this due to the Agatha poster. Even better the second. So much detail in it I missed the first time. One of the smoothest intellecually fast-paced thrillers with clearly stated, cogent occult ideas sympathetically used as devices to alter the mind of the audience. Spectacular.
 
I love each season individually (except S4; Issa Lopez returning as showrunner for S5 is sacrilegious).

S2 is underrated. The Vinci shootout, subway tunnel shootout, Monterey cabin raid, and the finale among the Redwoods were all very well done.
