It's a terrific show, and I can't wait to see where they go with it in the final three episodes. This is a unique series in that it has the same writer and director for every episode, so it's like an 8-hour movie. I was really impressed by the 6-minute shot at the end of the episode a week ago. There's so much going on in it that could have messed it up. I've been writing about it on my blog.

The show's creator, Nic Pizzolatto, has a fine novel called Galveston that I just read recently. Well worth checking out -- I reviewed it at Onyx Reviews. It's unrelated to True Detective, but the main character likes to make little men out of beer cans!
