True Detective

not to get all dr. phil, but i took the daughter's promiscuity as being a direct response to her father's earlier infidelity. when the girlfriend came to his home to tell his wife about the affair, the child was present.





everything about this show is superlative.
 
The show definitely makes you read into things and connect dots that may not even be connected. Part of the fun.
 
Obama???s Weekend in Sunnylands, With Lots of TV


By MICHAEL D. SHEAR


FEB. 12, 2014





WASHINGTON ??? President Obama has added an item to his agenda for Presidents??? Day weekend:





The leader of the free world is looking forward to binge-watching DVDs of his latest favorite television show: HBO???s edgy new ???True Detective??? series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.





Mr. Obama made a point of approaching HBO???s chief executive, Richard Plepler, at the state dinner for France on Tuesday night.





???Where is my True Detective and Game of Thrones???? Mr. Obama asked Mr. Plepler as he told him that the coming weekend would be a good time to have the DVDs.





That Mr. Obama is a fan of ???True Detective??? should come as no surprise. He is known to favor dark dramas like AMC???s ???Breaking Bad??? and HBO???s ???The Wire.??? Those are now off the air, and the president evidently needed to find a replacement.





In ???True Detective,??? Mr. McConaughey and Mr. Harrelson play investigators hunting for a serial killer in Louisiana. The series, which began last month, has a complex plot that unfolds in multiple timelines and flashbacks.





???Game of Thrones,??? soon to start its fourth season, depicts medieval battles in George R. R. Martin???s fictitious Seven Kingdoms.





After his conversation, Mr. Obama waved over one of his aides to make sure that Mr. Plepler knew where to send the DVDs to ensure they would make it through White House security and end up in the president???s hands.





Mr. Obama is scheduled to leave on Friday morning for a three-day trip to Sunnylands, the historic Annenberg estate in Rancho Mirage, Calif.

So do Presidents treat President's Day like fathers treat Father's Day? Just do whatever you want, because fuck it, it's President's Day and I earned this?

Well, if y'all want to get technical it's no-apostrophe Presidents Day, a federal holiday that combined the celebrations of Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays into one. It ain't about Obama! And and and, to broaden this TV thread out to House of Cards, President Garrett Walker has to be the flimsiest prez ever, making you really question the credibility of anything at all on that show.

I think he's decently-cast actually.

Still: veteran cop, on the trail of a sicko ritual killer, searching his freaky redneck compound....I'm just saying maybe he shoulda been a little more mentally prepared for what he encountered...which wasn't *that* shocking IMO.




But...





He thinks this is THE dude. A crazy hunt reveals the dude they're looking for, they've got him, but he's not just responsible for ritual killings of prostitutes, he's abusing children...





In the moment reaction, "fuck this dude, we're not even bringing him in. This shit ends now." I mean this is all on top of them already breaking a whole string of protocol. lm with you that it's kind of like "but why! There's more to learn." Also, dude was rambling the kind of insane mumbo jumbo that Hart gets upset about Rust saying.

The travelling church women told Woody about the tall man with the shiny face (burn scar) = Reggoe Ledoux?


The guy who's head got blown off by woody was tall but i couldn't make out a burn scar cause of his beard. Will watch again.

It's not Ledoux, I think we know that.





You know who's tall? The Governor's cousin, the Pastor.

pastor to nab woody's goth daughter, rust to nearly save day




nah...that would be public news by the time they are interviewed right? And that wouldn't explain current murder case new detectives are working on...





My current train of thought is I'm thinking this is going to be on some Skull & Bones type stuff -- mega high-ups (politicians, business dudes, religious folk, etc.) that do some weird Satanic schitt on the side. And as a result the ability to "nab" them is impeded by authority.

If you follow the logic that this show was inspired/influenced by the Red Riding Trilogy, this is the correct answer. Hope that's not spoiling it for anyone but all signs would indicate......
 
Frank Miller's "Sin City" is another working of that theme.





Archbishop Roark (Rutger Hauer IIRC) was true cannibaaal, and the Senator's brother.

i meant to reply to this a while back but forgot:





"BBC" is the stateside disambiguation given to anything that originally aired in england. the fact that most of these shows are ACTUALLY aired on channel 4 is of very little concern to our american friends.
