Wait till you see the ending of the next episode, or the tracking shot in episode 4. I could go on but I don't want to ruin anything. This show does everything right.
As someone who did hallucinogens back in the day; I feel whoever did the visuals for lights ebbing and fading or the birds forming the spiral before dispersing knew exactly what visuals were supposed to look like. That all being said, this show is a masterpiece of a single season. The best there's ever been. The Wire and Sopranos are excellent shows, worth watching. But the first season of True Detective is lightning in a bottle.
I dunno man. I’ve done mushrooms a few times and acid many times and I never saw anything that profound. The best recreation of visuals that I’ve seen was something Steve-o from jackass did when he had a coiled hose on his lawn then turned water on and the hose begins to slowly gyrate and pulse. That’s bang on. Like I’ve been on acid and seen birds but they never flew out of a legit formation, making shapes in the sky. What is more realistic is staring at a painting or something where the boundaries between the colours begin to morph and “breathe”. Subtle movement of something that exists - not something appearing that isn’t there or significant altering of reality.
@goldboy150 I know exactly what you're saying with the painting thing. It's like, rather than being together on one surface, each colour is on It's own thin sheet of glass and they're stacked on top of each other with each one moving independently.
@@goldboy150 Fair enough, I've had visuals like that as well. More subtle ones like looking at wood panel walls and seeing the 'timber' marks swell and ebb. But I have been on strong hits before where things really get funky. I've never hallucianted something out of thin air before though. It's always been my mind taking what's there and exaggerating the features.
I can't help but cry when Rust talks about his daughter and that sometimes he feels grateful. That she spared him the sin of being a father. It hits so deep.
Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa. Strange is the night where black stars rise, And strange moons circle through the skies, But stranger still is Lost Carcosa. Songs that the Hyades shall sing, Where flap the tatters of the King, Must die unheard in Dim Carcosa. Song of my soul, my voice is dead, Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa.
One of the excellent things about this season is that there are times later on that you'll notice callbacks. And a lot of those callbacks will be to this episode.
This is such a good series! And Rust is such a well written character... his perspective is quite dark and pessimistic, but I find a lot of his philiosophies on the human experience to be very apt. Marty is also a really complicated character, at times showing empathy like with the underage sex worker, but then his relationship with his family (and mistress) is awful. But the acting by everyone is so good, I think this might be Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's best performances. It's a pretty wild ride to the end, can't wait to watch it with you!
There are many reasons to praise s1 of True Detective. The acting, the wrong, etc. IMO, the greatness is rooted in the fact that at it's core it is a character study. These are no stereotype heros, yet we all would watch 10 seasons of these 2 guys...they are that interesting.
@@Rickhorse1 I can relate, I have the same bad habit of not typoing a word by forgetting a letting or adding one that doesn't need to be there -- just typing a completely different word.
A theory I thought of when I watched this season is that those two little circular mirrors on Rust's wall is his way of seeing his daughter again. He says that she had his eyes at some point, so I figure that is his way of simulating looking into his daughter's eyes again.
Nah. It's most likely Rust's one-eye version of a meditation mirror (if you're curious, look up 'eye gazing', or mirror meditation). Aside from that, Rust is the type of dude that probably doesn't give a particular shit about fine-tuning his looks as we do with a regular mirror, so he's got a tiny one to clear his eyes and roll out. But it's most likely the first thing I said.
As someone who loved the King in Yellow book (and cosmic horror in general), I definitely didn't see it's involvement in this series coming, but I absolutely loved it
If you start at 9:22 , which is when Marty arrives at the other woman's apartment with handcuffs for some hanky panky, and then you just tap tap tap the right arrow on your keyboard to skip forward incrementally, you can watch Eric's face get progressively more flushed red during the sexytime scenes, and then it clears up after 🤣
As someone who has seen Gerald's Game (A Mike Flanagan movie, based on a short story by Stephen King), here's a little tip: DO NOT use a real handcuff for this purpose lol. Use one of those fake, plastic ones so you can break out of em if needed lol
I want a memory-wiping machine invented, just so I can watch this season for the first time. I love this kind of time-jumping story, but it helps to be a fan of cosmic horror as well.
Dialogues are very strong,big philosophical enqury really you feel like smth bigger is happening,this shows atmosphere feels unreal...unexplainable that simple cop show could be such masterpiece...
Really enjoyed your reaction to episode two. Look forward as you react to the next episodes. Oh, and greetings from Austin!!! I like your shirt, Eric!!
25:30 That wasnt Cole that was a real shot! So beautiful, the birds are real too! They were so lucky with tgat shot, they talked about it in a Interview
This episode really took the cake 😲
12:22 🎂

this season is jammed with cake taking episodes
Oh, you haven’t even gotten it out of the oven yet!😉

One of the best single seasons ever. The dialogue, the visuals, the acting, the cinematography, just all things about this season.

"I thought I was mainlining the truth of the universe" said every person that used hallucinogens, ever.
Yep, I’ve definitely been there a time or two🤣
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 The trick is to never forget :)

Deeply tragic unresolved trauma... His view on all of that is so skewed and distorted...
@@AleksandarIvanov69But kinda right
Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.
So, you've seen the sign...
One of the best single series I’ve ever seen - casting acting writing editing directing and just the execution of the storyline is superb
Nice family? Yes, but Daddario is also very nice!
very very *very* nice.

00:18 Eric, upon seeing Rust Cohle: "he's literally me!!"
So happy you uploaded another reaction to this awesome show!!!👍
10:18 he _is_ playing poker. 😉

Going to assume "the wrong" was meant to be "the writing"?
@@CuidightheachODuinn LOL you assume correctly. Getting old is scary.

The birds when they started to fly, made a carcosa.

Tell me that "I thought I was main-lining the secret truth of the universe" doesn't go hard as fuck
I think a lot of hallucinogenics enthusiasts feel this way.
@@buzzardbeatniks The machine elves took me to speak to God.
Guys we need the others episodes uploaded faster haha
Sarah as Rust? They’re the same picture🤔
0:32 "you could do this show as Rust Cohle."
you should! 😆
This season of this series is 10x creepier if you've read "The King in Yellow," a collection of stories by Robert Chambers.
4:32 there’s a pic rust looks at in the woman’s house and it’s literally a pic of one of the sacrifices. It’s wild foreshadowing.

Thoroughly enjoying this, subscribed from Australia.
YAY!! You're back with more of this

yall edit very well!

When I watched the show I related to Rust. I would only admit that anonymously.
9:27 - mah man is a good christian boy, look how many shades he changes 😂😂
Between the two of them, I consider Rust to be the sane one.
Man I love this show.
Listen.... It's Alexandra Daddario, okay?
Awesome video.
Rust is a functioning alcoholic who knows who is it’s that simple
Society is falling apart and they roll their eyes. You did that, you supported that. Your professor was wrong.
So only Texas and Ohio get love? I see how it is. Lol
There all very good……..

10:20 "poker!?"
Uh....Poke her is exactly what he's about to do!!! 😏😏😏
18:15 - hey since you are from there, I am really curious why does Cohle say that is funny? that's interesting cultural titbit
yall aint never had bad habits huh? both of yalls teeth are pretty.
25:30 That wasnt Cole that was a real shot! So beautiful, the birds are real too! They were so lucky with tgat shot, they talked about it in a Interview
