McConaughey and Harrelson make a great pairing though. Woody's reactions to his partner's "one last midnight" pessimist speech during the car drive were priceless.
biggest lol of first episode for me was "when you get to my house you're going to need to chill the fuck out"

Those boobs will be remembered alongside Nick Sobotka's girlfriend.
so I think maybe they're trying to pin it on McConaughey or is that too obvious?
At the very end I started thinking about how mind-blowing tv/film is in that a giant crew of people built that burned out church, artfully placing the remaining roof boards and aging everything just so, just for a five minute scene.

I will be disappointed if in the end, McConaughey's character did it in a Keyser Soze-type situation. Ugh.

yea i dont think theyll do that

there's obviously another shoe to drop with Rust. My guess is that he's not a straightforward detective but maybe even on another kind of undercover assignment. So many signs seem like he was sent there for a purpose.

Sent there to investigate Harrelson's character?
― Murgatroid, Monday, 20 January 2014 15:26 (ten years ago) link
I dunno maybe, stuff like the redacted files and the others calling him a "fed" and the like. I'm reaching obviously.
― ryan, Monday, 20 January 2014 15:30 (ten years ago) link
though I won't be disappointed if it turns out he's been sent to receive the secret truth of the universe.

Def some Twin Peaks parallels, mac v anti-Cooper

The 90's period design on this show is very lax in comparison to the studied era evocation of Mad Men/Boardwalk Empire, but I still like it very much so far.
― xelab, Tuesday, 21 January 2014 00:15 (ten years ago) link
really could do with more Marky Mark and The Funkybunch imo
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 21 January 2014 00:20 (ten years ago) link
I think that if it took place in a more urban area, then you'd get more period design but since a lot of it takes place in rural Louisiana, it feels more out of time and whatnot.
― Murgatroid, Tuesday, 21 January 2014 00:21 (ten years ago) link
yes what's keeping this show from greatness is lack of lollapalooza refs

Ok people! But it does fail to create a sense of 20 years ago, it absolutely fails for me but w/e.
― xelab, Tuesday, 21 January 2014 01:15 (ten years ago) link
I haven't been to those Louisiana areas but rural Texas, if you ignore the cars, still looks like 1974.

So far they've used the black angels and 13th floor elevators, holding out hope for butthole surfers in the next episode
― Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 21 January 2014 02:11 (ten years ago) link
next week's episode has already leaked, i think xelab will find his concerns have been addressed, let's just say this show really 'sells the drama' ;)

is there anything to be made of why we get to see the interviewers with Mcconaughey but all of harrelson's statement is pov direct to camera, no side conversations etc?
i just noticed it this time
and it looks like harrelson is at the same copshop they worked out of
