Totally agree. Matthew and Woody are so damn good! Aren't they? Funny thing if you then watch a movie with both of them : "Ed TV", a comedy where they play brothers! They have great chemistry together! Greetings from Sweden 😊 💛💙💛💙
Great reaction from you all!! You were correct about the last 6 minutes, some of the most intense television ever made. And that continuous camera shot!! Oh, I would definitely take a few 40 degree days right now. It's been over 100 degrees in Austin, and projected to be between 101 and 108 the rest of the month. 😥
This is definitely one of the best long takes ever, absolutely insane. I’m not sure if it had any hidden cuts but either way the amount of coordination and skill needed to pull those off is crazy.
I remember this episode from the night it aired.. That end sequence is what I referance to great tension / direction. Even when you know Rust is going to make it because this is taken in past and is clearly still alive. You are still gripped in and nervious for him. When a show can make you feel that for a character, then you know this is superbly done.
I'll say it again, True Detective Season 1 is the best television I've ever seen. "I can see the soul at the edge of your eyes, it's corrosive like acid"
I LOVED how rust reacted to finding that little boy in the house they were robbing. He gets VERY concerned and gues does his best to ensure that the kid will be safe if these fucking idiots he's with do some bullshit.
Yeah but I never liked how he pointed the gun at the kid's face when he put him in the bathtub. Rust seems extremely well trained, he demonstrates that by clearing the whole freaking house by himself and in previous situations. He showed shitty muzzle awareness in that instance; especially considering it's a child.
@@jackgrimaldi8685 it was deliberate. He was threatening and scaring the child to DO NOT get out of the tub and start wandering around the house to see what's happening. I'm sure he would of preferred to just tell the boy about the possible dangers of leaving the bathroom. But he was pushed for time so stayed in character and used intimidation to make sure the kid didn't ignore his instructions. That's how I saw it anyway.
Sarah, I grew up in southern Michigan, so I know exactly what you’re talking about. It’s like, springtime comes & you get 4-5 days of sunny, 70 degree weather & then it goes right back to cloudy & 38 for, what feels like, forever! I’m now in southern Arizona & it’s gonna be 110 today. I’d much rather see 40 degrees🤣
I am always really impressed by that long, single-take sequence in this episode. It's really amazing to see them go through that whole event with all these different parts and people and do it without cuts. It's not quite on the level of "The Haunting of Hill House" and doing almost an entire episode as a single take, but it's a solid second place for an intricate, long TV sequence.
i truly do belive after Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones,Season 1 of True Detective is the best show ive ever seen in my life,you just wait next 4 episodes will knock your socks off!
"Every time I think you hit a ceiling, you just keep raising the bar. You are like the Michael Jordan of being a sonofabitch." LMAO Like, I know it's a serious scene and show, but that line absolutely slays me _everytime._ Hahahaha 😂😂😂
I would like to file the opposite complaint. Trapped in a Georgia apartment with a hopelessly broken air conditioner and temps that insist on climbing above 88 every day and promise to continue doing so for the foreseeable ever. I'd sell a portion of soul for a 40 degree morning right now.
As someone in Missouri who hates anything above like 75°, I would also sell a portion of my soul for a 40° day right now. My condolences for your air conditioning though I would go insane lol.
@@davidbowman2001 I also have a number of increasingly angry cats in here. Sometimes I do suspect that I have already died and am experiencing some kind of spookily southern purgatorial stress test.
15:55 "Come on Rust" ? He responded perfectly when she threw shade at him, he didn't bicker, he just got up and left. Stoicism is the way to handle that.
@@pedrolopez8057 She didn't call him out at all. Rather than bring himself down to her level, he just walked away and in that situation that's the best thing you can do. Also just as an aside, implying that rust is a terrible father knowing full well what happened to him and his wife and daughter is a low blow and it's not "calling it out" it's "Woman refusing to think for five seconds and goes straight to petty insults". She had nothing to "call out" like wut? His point was that at the end of the day, the kids in the marriage are the most important and that "at the end of the day people fuck up" which implies that it wasn't malice that led Marty to do what he did but something else entirely. A little introspection goes a long way and some people don't want to hear that.
@@mikeity2009 You said it perfectly, it was petty and a low blow on her part. Rust getting up and leaving is something I wish I had done in conversations past.
@@pedrolopez8057She crossed a line with someone who was put in the awkward position of trying to mediate. He’s absolutely not a perfect character but he handled that situation well.
Loving the reactions! This episode was so amazing, because you go into it thinking it will pick up on the cliffhanger from the last episode, and it goes in a completely different direction, drops a few bombs, then ends with one of the best few minutes and continuous shots in TV history.
15:48 - from all the brutalities in this series, what she did there was the most vicious and malevolent of all... She knew his story, she knew his pain, she can see it all over him and while he is vulnerable with NO ONE else but her, she says that... Marty's actions as bad as they are, become quite understandable after that point. It is a subtle hint, but it is there.
@@lagronemikal Because they never want to dig into why people do what they do, they'd rather sit from atop their high horse and prod people's mistakes than coming to an understanding. Maggie isn't a saint and she's a terrible person as we'll see in the next couple of episodes. Coercion much? I think so.
@@pedrolopez8057 Maggie didn't call out shit, she threw out a low blow completely misunderstanding what rust was trying to say. Does Rust have flaws? His entire world view is rigid and flawed, but in that moment? Nah, he was right, and she threw it back in his face. Plus as we'll see in the rest of the show, his point that went right over Maggie's head was wasted on her because at the end of the day nothing matters more to Maggie than her pride which is ultimately what pushed Marty to do the things he did for better or worse.
@@mikeity2009 that just sounds like an excuse for Marty. The kids should be a priority but you can raise them while being separated instead of being together where you are just unhappy- that would affect the kids too. Loved it when someone finally made Rus understand his own idiocy if he even got it - maybe he did thus his reaction.
@@gotahgemini6415 "That just sounds like an excuse for Marty" Sure if you're willing to ignore everything, yes that could be taken that way absolutely. "You can raise them while being separated" I never implied anything but, I'm merely giving context for Marty's actions, whether you're part of the condemnation or understanding crowd, that's for you to decide. "Loved it when someone finally made rust understand his own idiocy" By throwing what he was trying to say in his face and insulting the memory of his daughter over a petty misunderstanding? Who is the idiot here again? Also i find it telling that people are willing to condemn the two male protagonists for big and petty slights equally but never go after the women who make the same and arguably more damaging mistakes... hmmm.
When rust is talking about the cartel tortured method it isnt fiction it's FACTs they are known for there horrific and disturbing methods that are worse than fiction.
Any reason you have to stay there? My family all lived in Ohio, then in ones and small clumps moved to Albuquerque, where I am now, and Austin. Try visiting here. Weather's pretty decent just about all year, and the atmosphere is a lot more relaxed than back east. I really like Austin except in the summer, but it's just too hot and muggy for me then.
Marty is an insecure man who never grew out of high school, he is impulsive and takes things for granted which plays out beautifully in the next couple of episodes. He also has the best character development of anyone in the show. So many people see his flaws and write off the character entirely and personally for woody i think that's a damn shame.
Most people seem to see Marty as a super selfish and as a bad guy, when the writers make it clear that he is just childish and insecure and how he just don't want to bring the job to home and to his family and justifies the affair to himself by saying to himself that he diserves somebody that he can be totally vulnerable. my favorite seen in the series has to be when Marty opens to Rust by asking him "do you think that a man can love two women at the same time" and Marty asks Rust: Do you wonder ever if you're a bad man? Rust answers: No. I don't wonder, Marty. World needs bad men. We keep the other bad men from the door. showing how guilt ridden Marty is and how Rust is trying to push Marty out of his childish black and white worldview.
Little fun fact, the creator and writer of every episode is the bartender Marty talks to in the club. Anyway Easily one of the best episodes of any show ever, McConaughey should’ve won the best actor for this episode but instead Cranston won because it was the final season of a legendary show like breaking bad, if it wasn’t the final season no way it wins the major Emmy’s like best series/actor/writing etc. , bfrwaking bad rules and is definitely an all time great show but s1 of TD> any breaking bad season, McConaughey’s acting in this episode is godly especially nonce he’s all strung out,he does such an absurdly good job depicting the drug usage. Episode did win best director which was a no brainer for especially because the projects long, widely considered one of the best scenes in tv history and same goes for the lesson as a whole. Anyway great reaction as always guys, last thing I have to say is you guys should definitely watch s2, it’s insanely underrated, it is a little convoluted at times but was way overly criticized mainly because ppl wanted something similar to the occult backwoods s1 and instead they got a California Neo noir story so it was basically like a whole new shows, Colin Farrell and is character are absolutely outstanding and I think you guys would definitely enjoy it. If it was a new hbo detective show and not true detective s2 it would’ve received a ton more acclaim, not as good as s1 but still really good tv with so many great moments, finale is amazing too, Rachel McAdams and Vince Vaughn and Taylor kitsch all star in it too, it’s pretty much completely ignored by reactors and that’s a shame especially because Farrell and his character are just phenomenal and make it worth watching for him alone. Sorry for the insanely long rambling comment lol.

Greetings from Sweden 😊
💛💙💛💙
It's the best season of television in the drama category I've ever seen.
When Marty walks into the bar in his goofy hat........
"Hello fellow bikers. I would like to buy one drugs please".
At least he didn't ask for a Bud Light
"Goddamn it, I'm so done talking to you like a man"
Absolute heater of a line from Rust 😤😤😤
“Hell of a bedside manner you’ve got, Rust.”
“Ah, you know, being stupid is different than calling in sick and this is a bar, not a fuckin’ bedside.”
This has my favorite quote from the series. "You are like the Michael Jordan of being a son of a bitch." 🤣🤣🤣
The greatest single season of television ever written
That 5 minute tracking shot in the projects is one of the craziest scenes in a show/movie ever. So good.

That long shot was amazing, and that song at the closing credits - "Young Men Dead" by the Black Angels - is perfect.

Wait till the last episode..you lucky people 😊
12:23 rust paints a picture
9:27 the burning disdain in sarah's face! 😡
I'll take 40 degrees.. I'm in southcentral Texas and we've been dealing with 100-103° and a heat index of 113-115° for the last few days 🥵😅
40 degrees sounds amazing! I live in south Texas it's been high 90's with over 80% humidity for a couple weeks.

What makes season 1 so good is the directing by Cary Joji Fukunaga.
One of the all time greatest single shot sequences I’ve seen 👌
