"True Detective" HBO Premier

[Kevin Greene]

Great episode.

Harrelson needs to kick it up a notch though to match the rest of the cast imho.

That final 15 minutes (and the build to it) was amazing. 

[Нина]

That was a great last scene. Uninterrupted one shot deal.. fuging awesome show. One of the best episodes of all time

[Wanderlai]

Bad feeling Daddario will wind up dead. Great episode. Don't buy bikers busting into the hood though. Doesn't add up. 

[Joscott]

Love the show. McConaughey acts his ass off in it.

[Proudiddy]

Great episode.

Harrelson needs to kick it up a notch though to match the rest of the cast imho.

Idk, I think Harrelson is killing it in his own right. When it comes to the distraught narcissist trying to get his family back, his perfromance is pretty powerful. The hospital confrontation was really strong.

And as others have said, I've studied film and I got so enveloped in that last scene that I didnt even realize it was a continuous tracking shot. I was on the edge of my seat when the shadows started showing up through all the windows and he had to make a decision.... intense!

I watched it the other night. Very slow, might be too slow for me. Hannibal is the best serial killer show on TV right now and it's not even close,

it was meh. i don't buy mcconaughey as this philosophical crazy guy at all.

Mods, please execute these clowns.

I watched the ending twice. fugin insane.

best show on TV right now.

[Captain Morgan]

last episode was as good as 98 percent of Breaking Bad.

 

 

 

cant wait for the next one

 

 

[Cary Kollins]

The director and producer of True Detective is 36 year-old Cary Fukanaga.  I'm not familiar with any of his previous work, but he was a cinematographer before he turned to directing. 

 

This makes a lot of sense, as the True Detective visuals tell almost as much a story as the writing.

 

I think it was during the second episode when they found the abandoned church,  I said to myself, "this set design is amazing."   I don't remember ever thinking that while watching a "TV" show. 

 

I give all the credit to Fukanaga.  The show just looks beautiful on screen.

 

Supposedly Fukanaga is set to write and direct the big screen adaptation of Stephen King's IT.

 

If True Detective is any indication of Fukanaga's ability to create a chilling atmosphere and intensity, his version of IT will be one of the creepiest movies ever.

So I have never watched a series (Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, etc.) and I was talking at work today about The Dallas Buyers Club and how great of an actor Matthew Mcconaughey is. Anyway, a guy at work tells me about this show and also says Woody Harrelson is in i t(who I also love) so it peaked my interest. After reading through this and listening to him, I think I will watch the first 3 episodes and see what I think.

You're gonna want to watch the fourth episode.

[Johnny Rockets]

You're gonna want to watch the fourth episode.

Oh ok, I thought there were only 3 so far. I'll have to see how many I have available on Movie Box.

[SOJA]

I like the first 3 a lot, but the 4th episode is so freaking good. I've convinced like 10 people to start watching this and made them all promise to watch through at least 4
