Finally completed True Detective S1 and it is already one of my favorite pieces of media ever. I enjoyed very much the narrative, the way how the case progressed through different time skips and at the same time foreshadowing lots of character moments. The main duo is by far the-
-best thing of the series. Rustin Cohle got immediately my favorite character. His development through the series reminded me very much the nietschean "superman", accepting how common moral or religious codes are dying or getting inadequate in a world filled of hypocrisy, and-
-showing a nihilistic attitude according whom things are doomed to happen again because humans receive a programming that is impossible to change. More, his backstory enhances his character arc. Rust is a man who lost everything dear to him, someone who he loved very much how a-
-perfect Matthew McConaughey shows in an unforgettable final scene that gives us one of the best play I have ever seen. But the great love he felt just enhanced the delusion of loss, making him lose faith in every common rule in Society. An event that Nietsche called the death-
-of God, the loss of every moral code previously accepted. The weakness of the system of moral is portrayed even by Rust's perfect partner. Martin Hart, played by a majestic Woody Harrelson, shows perfectly how the repression of middle man brought so much hate and violence in-
-his heart. His great hipocrisy in front of Rust's frankness makes him hateful, but to see his copious attempt to get a better person, everytime because of a cosmic immobility is so relatable and human, and makes him the perfect Rust's anthithesis.
The cinematography is very good, the use of wide shots giving a genuine perspective of the setting is very rare in TV productions, but the long shot at the end of EP 4 left me totally impressed. I was immersed in the action during the whole sequence, I absolutely loved it.
