True Detective - Woody Harrelson/Matthew McConaughey

[Fenster]

Who is watching this? Sky TV (Britain) have only just shown the first episode. Thank fuck for the internet as I was able to race through the next 5 to catch up with HBO (USA).

This is utterly brilliant. It's more like a book/film than a TV series as it's only eight episodes.

As I'm a cynical, pessimistic atheist, Matthew McConaughey's character, Rust, is the greatest person I've ever seen in a drama. Even though what he says is nothing new, it's worth watching for his delivery alone.

The yellow king?

Seen it on billboards etc.

Looks good.
Might have to watch it now.

I like woody harrelson and bill murray in "kingpin!"

Yes seen the poster and an interview of Woody which was funny.

I watch it and am really into it. It is an excellent show and gets better when you watch each episode. I missed this past Sunday but I will watch it on demand. The show has a unique perspective and I actually think when I watch it while most TV shows actually kill my brain cells. I think we will find out Matthews character is a homosexual as most atheists seem to enjoy rump ranging.

[Fenster]

Considering we see him doing sex with a woman and know he was married with a child, I think it's safe to rule out that he's gay.

The shootout with Reggie Ledoux was genius.

Time is a flat circle.

Not heard of it, but you've sold it to me. I'll try watching a couple tomorrow.

Me too. I've pretty much given up on Breaking bad for the time being and Im up to date with the walking dead, waiting for new episodes sucks balls. I need something else and I like Harrelson and McConaughey. At what point did McConaughey transform from someone who simply took his shirt off a bit to a fucking good actor?

Lincoln lawyer is on proper tele this weekend I think.

"Proper tele" At what point will we stop calling it that?
I even call it "real tele" sometimes.

I don't sleep, I just dream.

Yeah it's one of the best things I've ever seen on TV, done way more like a serious film as far as the time line, plot, dialogue, everything. Don't have cable so I just raced through them all online as well, I thought the last episode was a bit worse than all the others, seemed to have the first bits of filler so far but that's just me.

The Yellow king is apparently to be loosely based on these short stories. Haven't read them and not sure I want to until the show wraps up but they sound very cool.

The King in Yellow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sucks that the first season is almost over, but that should mean a lot of substance to the last couple episodes. Any idea what they plan to do for the next season, it's apparently going to be an anthology series Would be really weird if the characters change or something.
