True Detective MONSTER
True
Detective is a great fire which burns bright. It’s story is already fully
formed by the time we are thrusted into it. It’s a complex murder investigation,
which at first blush, we come in near the end of.
True
Detective was a revelation in 2014 when it appeared. It took the well-worn
trope of Detective Drama and played with it in a new—obvious way. Matthew
McConaughey plays Rust Cohle, an alcoholic recluse who is both good and bad at
his job. Woody Harrelson plays Marty Hart. A man with many secrets…
The first 3
episodes concern the hunting of a monster. Really just an overdramatic term for
“A man who murders people brutally.” So, he doesn’t breathe fire or anything.
He doesn’t fly. He just hides.
Game of Thrones Monster
I like HBO. I like their slow burn technique. But, it has to pay off.
