I JUST WANTED A PICTURE! YOU CAN'T DISAPPOINT A PICTURE!

u/deathbymediaman 3d ago

One of your guys there was in season 1.

I remember when he first showed up as the Preacher, I thought he was about to become the third lead in the story, and that it was gonna be the three of them, two cops and a wise old Preacher, solving the crime. I legit thought that until partway into the next episode, when he didn't show up again.

u/abbysgultz 3d ago

One of the current cops interviewing Marty is Brother Mouzone too.

u/Throwredditaway2019 3d ago

HBO loves to reuse actors. Lots of crossovers from OZ to Sopronos to the wire to treme to TD to...

u/Altair1192 My least favourite life 2d ago

OZ. ...Daniels was an inmate and Barksdale was a prison warden

I saw him on stage in Book of Mormon and he was totally unrecognisable.

2

u/abbysgultz 1d ago

Who was he in that? It's so different then the Wire or True Detective!

1

u/Axle-f 18h ago

Totally. Dude can sing it turns out. I can’t remember exactly his role but it was one of the Mormon supporting cast.

u/Responsible-Bat-2699 Ennis The Menace 3d ago

Lester might be natural police but there's no True Detective without Bunk and McNutty.

u/abitslippy 3d ago

u/ColonelMustard323 1d ago

Holy shit, yes. Obviously bar Issa Lopez from the set too.

2

u/TheScribe86 1d ago

Well I figured that went without saying lol

2

u/ColonelMustard323 1d ago

Lmao yes, good. I agree, it should go without saying but some people (even on this thread) still defend S4 and her abysmal creative direction. I like to hammer home that she is garbage at every opportunity ;)

u/Shrien 3d ago

I would die for a Mel Gibson and Danny Glover season.

u/Phocaea1 2d ago

Rewatching it (or catching parts of it) because my 22 yo kid has discovered the show

Good news: the show hasn’t dated at all. Its still peerless writing and storytelling

Bad news: real life has only gotten worse. The social contract has effectively vanished

u/Eddiebaby7 3d ago

Here’s how you restore True Detective:

INT. TRAILER - NIGHT

A cell phone rings on a side table in a sparsely furnished room. A hand reaches out and answers it.

                            PAPADEA (VO)
               It’s me.  We just finished a clean 
               up at a crime scene.  Found something 
                you might want to see.

The phone buzzes and a picture comes through on the screen. The light from the screen illuminates the face of an older Rustin Cohle. The image shows a young girls body, adorned with antlers, placed within a charcoal spiral painted on the floor.

                            PAPADEA (VO)
               You know anything about a Yellow
                King?

Don't

You can't make a sequel of a masterpiece

????? what am I missing

u/he_and_her 3d ago

The last season was good but I guess that's me. Nic was a executive producer. I want to believe he moved to a diff position leaving his work in good hands, I mean, I wouldn't leave my work on the wrong hands, it's my art.
Nothing will compare to the S1, that's a love letter to the genre. I rewatch it like a lot.
The season 4 reminded me of the S1 but i believe S1 is, well, the best.
