"I think human consciousness, is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware, nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself, we are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things
that labor under the illusion of having a self;an accretion of sensory, experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody is nobody. Maybe the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight - brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal."
-Rust Cohle
How often does it transpire when a show,merely a show plays tug of war with your sanctum sanctorum?
With the dawn of the technology everything has become so facile.Nothing is elusive for too long.
Polygraphs,DNA matching,finger prints,run the sample a couple of times and bam! You got the perpetrator.
But where is the raw investigation?
Those long hours spent asking questions to anyone and everyone who might fall in the infinite circle of suspicion,that thirst of blood,scent of macabre hunt,the butterfly effect.
Pure thriller,these days, is the relic of a time gone by.
True Detective is evidently one of those splendiferous attempts to resurrect that adrenaline rush in your mainline.
I,certainly am not going with the anticipated format of writing a review.
Narrating the short version of story,that's so cliche.
Allow me to discuss some inconspicuous aspects which usually are overlooked whilst watching.
The capricious weather of Louisiana and the greenery is simply adding to the dark cult atmosphere.
Matthew McConaughey,need I say more?
He has totally nailed it!
The way he portrayed Rust Cohle is simply beyond legendary.Those cryptic theories he told sitting on his chair the whole time,the way he made the entire cult crew out of those beer cans,the way he never opened his eyes entirely and acted a little stoned and sleepy.He didn't leave the character even for a moment.
Woody Harrelson served the purpose of a cherry on the top.
Probably isn't the best way to delineate his perpetual contribution to the show yet I assure you that he is one of my favorite actors.
Every time he is on-screen playing his part,he seems to do it so effortlessly,so immaculately that it might appear unbelievable for a second that that character holds a separate identity here in the real world.
Riveting chase.Impeccable plot.
True Detective isn't just a show,it's more like a manhunt,a journey that you must go through if you're really into this genre.
If this won't make you a fan of Matthew,I seriously don't know what will!
My rating:-9.6/10
Imdb-9.3/10
