Most other HBO shows have threads, and this one has been killing it too. next episode is going to be wild!
also if you read my whole facebook timeline from back in 2007 then this will also prove that magic is real.

Pilot episode was sick, the last 2 have been a tad flat, but still had great dialogue. I think they are ramping up and its gonna get crazy next ep. Plus Woody Harrelson's chick on the side has got some kind of body.

just started this show, loving it so far.  definitely a "slow burner", but well acted and intense.

matthew mcconaughey has done a nice little turn around with his career. 

and yeah, woody harrelson's side chick.  who the fuck is she?

Yeah that whole project scene at the end was masterful, didn't expect so much action, I mean I knew this episode was gonna be good but that was mental.

The last scene in episode 3 was one of the more unsettling things I've seen on TV. Last nights episode was fucking incredible. Noticed that the last scene was filmed in one take.

Yup, I'll be thinking about that last scene for a long time to come. Shout out the DP for making a relatively open-spaced neighbourhood in the projects seem so bloody claustrophobic, adding to the already overwhelming intensity.

Also, couldn't help but think of this:

Just binge watched all four episodes last night. Holy shit this is good. That last scene in episode four is a thing of beauty, for sure.

Just like with Children of Men, I didn't even notice that it was all one shot. I'll be watching it again tonight though, since I jumped the gun and watched it without the wife yesterday.

Better than porn. Last episode had me on the edge of my seat leaning in with that last shot.

I love how the pace and vibe of the whole episode starts shifting once Rust takes that first bump. In 4 episodes this show has accomplished more than most do in their entirety.

Also, stoked on that school Cohle was exploring at the end of this recent episode. That's some creepy shit

That's what im doing I am waiting till the season is over so i can watch them all at once instead of waiting for an episode ever week. Heard  good things about this show though, does anyone know how many episodes are left?

Finishing the story by the end of first season is terrific. This would turn into something else if they kept the same plot going on for as long as there are viewers.
