►True Detective | the Carcosa retrospective

[@paulcastle3171]

The single best thing I’ve ever watched on TV. A truly incredible show, which resonates long after it ends. Career best performance from the two leads, a tangible feeling of dread, off the scale atmosphere and sensational soundtrack. It almost makes me sad that I’ll never get to watch it with fresh eyes again.

[@MorganCPaige]

Paul Castle very similar to the true crime greats that transcend the genre. Zodiac, se7en, silence of the lambs

[@Diggz24]

That's what I'll probably be saying as well! I just found out about this show and it looks phenomenal!! I have to get it on Blu-ray!!

[@UberAV]

I grew up friends with a pastors son who went on to be jailed for things with kids and this just expanded my tortured mind.

[@mckenr07]

I’ve watched this several times and it really is like chasing a high. Every time I watch it there’s something new and the complexity grows.

Not just the stars. Everyone brought their A game. Fabulous show.

This is absolutely incredible. I just created an account purely to comment on how great this video is.

That is a huge compliment! Cheers, man! I hope you enjoy what have been and what is next in store as well :)

[@tristanburton3554]

I bought season 1 (DVD Blu-ray) and watched it twice this week, lol. Excellent movie and acting. I still can't figure out if Rust killed Ginger?

[@gabevachon5555]

Time is a flat circle. I will watch this again.

[@Bullroarer-oj3sp]

It was like they reached the mountain top with the first season, and they could only come down. This first season just punched you in the chest. Hard. Did in a few episodes what it takes some shows 6-8 seasons to do. And did it with good dialogue and showed you the horror and struggle of men without the crutch of violence and gore.

[@Sammo212]

season 3 was pretty good. I think many people are just wanting more of what season 1 specifically did.

[@emc8542]

I totally agree with your statement at the end. After watching this everything after has been a let down. It had so many layers, and the characters were so real... I think I may have watched all of the episodes nine or ten times now. Each time I find something new to love. Kudos on the video, you did an awesome job.

That was really cool, gave me chills. Gonna miss this show, it's one of a kind.

[@JosephSchneider26]

I would've loved if the whole show gone down the lovecraftian rabbit hole.

[@JosephSchneider26]

@Association of Free People How? At which point was there a hint that the cult of Carcosa transceded the twisted mind of the killer and his followers, that there was something that a human mind couldn't grasp? Especially where did that happen in s2 & 3, as I was talking about the whole show.

[@sjn415]

@llriv The show did even better. It was more on the side of the chambers than the exaggeration of lovecraft, and it was still original, that is, on its own side. Forget lovecraft, it didn't fit here in the series.

[@yehboi6646]

I kinda did notice a narrative about the cosmos. There was the understanding that Rust no longer had visions, in the end when he sees the “tunnel”, it’s up to you to decide if he was wrong or not.

[@joejones8776]

I feel so bad for anyone who hasn’t watched the first season of True Detective. I feel bad for seasons 2 and 3; how could you possibly top this first season? The end of Season 2 really picked up and those last few episodes gave the shades of brilliance that covered the entirety of Season 1. Anyway, great video. It inspired me to rewatch season 1...

[@JonnySublime]

Where they start in the first episode and where they finish in the last episode it really is a wild journey in between and just so fantastically written and acted. Can't think of one other show that even comes close.

@@joannaszulc1496 Yes, but also no.

[@zacharyliverseed8464]

Sort of, not officially.

[@zacharyliverseed8464]

@That Hippie Gamer Lovecraft's stories are what I'm referring to. Never is it mentioned that Hastur and Cthulhu are brothers. That was added later by August Derleth.

@Schreck Network *visible confusion*

[@TeaNoSugar87]

The King in Yellow and Hastur are given amazing treatment in the Delta Green RPG. It isn't a God or anything tangible at all, it's a force of entropy, Carcosa is a place that reacts to whoever is observing it.

We are not separate from nature, each is equally as depraved

[@annag8678]

Stephen No. Nature can be cruel. But only humans have the conciousness, self entitlement and vanity that he speaks of to be depraved.

[@stephen1133]

If you witness enough of nature's cruelty you have to conclude it would be better if it did not exist. Nature is suffering on a geologic scale, as mountains of limestone can attest.

[@annag8678]

Stephen eventually it won't exist and humans will continue to contribute to that happening sooner than nature intended anyway.

[@stephen1133]

Medea hypothesis, nature is suicidal. The sun will burn out eventually anyway. I used to be way into deep ecology, etc, but we really don't have any defined (in the long term) relationship with nature, which is just creatures locked in patterns of suffering. Everything is forced to eat eachother alive or starve to death.

[@annag8678]

Stephen I think that's the point though from what he is saying. He are separate from nature because we are aware of it. The flea won't sit there wondering about the meaning of life. The leopard doesn't care about what it will be doing in ten years. The rock isn't contemplating it's scope in the universe. Nature just is. One day it won't be. Humans however need a point to their lives. It's not all about fucking and dying to us. We need some big fridge magnet reason to be in the world or we become depressed or unfulfilled. Everyone needs a purpose. Nature has its own that is unchanging. What he is saying is humans were a mistake in evolution. Our self awareness is our own worst enemy and yet is also the only reason we progressed beyond any other species or object. Humans are the biggest mistake nature ever made and that's what sets us apart from it. It's all temporary anyway. But I just wanted to mention that depravity is the very thing (born from our conciousness) that does indeed separate us from nature. Anywho. Have a good night :)

Wait a minute, please someone answer me this. Is this a detective thriller with Lovecraftian elements in it? I always found this show to be interesting or intriguing more like it, but never watched it and these kinda let me very much intrigued.

[@drewfuller8660]

It's not actually Lovecraft, it's the "King in Yellow", which is a collection of short stories by Robert W. Chambers. Lovecraft was heavily inspired by The King in Yellow, and used it as part of his own mythos. True Detective season 1 is maybe the best piece of television ever created. I suggest you watch it.

[@jw7196]

Drew Fuller And Ambrose Bierce's An Inhabitant of Carcosa.

[@allancastellon9248]

It involves pieces of the cthulu mythos but not any direct pieces of lovecraft's stories himself

[@drewfuller8660]

@@allancastellon9248 I'm pretty sure there's no Cthulhu at all. It's a common misconception, but that's all The King in Yellow. Horned One is right, though, that Chambers used Bierce's idea of the city of Carcosa. However, I don't recall anything from Lovecraft in True Detective.

[@allancastellon9248]

@@drewfuller8660 the cthulu mythos refers to the greater literary shared universe between different authors. For instance Hastur the Yellow King was not created by Lovecraft but he very much liked it and added it to the canon of his universe. Conan the barbarian is similarly part of the cthulu mythos because Lovecraft and Howard both enjoyed eachother's work and incorporated things into the canon to connect them.

I don't think we'll ever see another detective show this well written and the casting brilliant. True detective season 1 will always be an outlier with respect to the level it's on. I don't see any true crime detective series ever reaching the absolute rawness that season 1 was able to accomplish. What makes this show terrifying down to your bones is that this cult shit is real to one degree or another. I'm just happy a network like HBO is putting a huge spotlight on the fact that there are sickos out there actually doing that shit.
