True Detective

[Osc]

Saw the first episode of this last night and really enjoyed it. Super performances from Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaghey, it's going to be a complex one I think, and I just hope that it doesn't go the way of The Following which turned out to be pure rubbish, even though I persevered because of the delightful Kevin Bacon, but gave up in the end. Looking forward to next week's episode already, although Mr. Osc wasn't quite so keen, he doesn't really like stories that hop back and forward.

I've not heard of this Osc.

What is it about and what channel was it on?

[Workingman]

I think it's on Sky Atlanntic Debih.

I like Woody when he plays those dumb "clever" red-neck types. He is so believable.

[Osc]

Yes Sky Atlantic on Saturday evenings Debih, started last Saturday. You're right WM, I wonder if he actually is a dumb clever red neck

[Workingman]

Osc, Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaghey look very similar, don't they? That plays well with in-breed feel we sort of expect (stereotyping) of the Louisiana wetlands.

I am looking forward to more of this.

Oh I wouldn't agree they look alike! McConaghey looks like he is still trying to put on weight after Dallas Buyers Club and Harrelson looks extremely well fed I thought McConaghey's character was delightfully intense, the polar opposite to Harrelson's red neck clean living country cop. Am really looking forward to watching the story develop.
