True Detective Ep 4

FUCK!

Those were my thought at the end of episode 4 of True Detective... Another long 1 week wait to see who da f*ck gonna get high again to solve the murder...

True Detective is a flagship of possibility a collection of mini series. The 1st season entails the investigation of 2 4 detectives chasing a serial murder across 3 timeline. The story is told from the current timeline 2012, where 2 detectives calls in the 2 detectives Cohle and Marty whom is in charge of a serial murder for questioning on some holes in their case report. Cohle is a obsessive, pessimistic and detached as a human being while Marty is the more stereotype family guy detective with some "pussy" problem and f*ckin hyprocrite.

The story flips back and forth between 2012 where the 2 detectives ask Cohle and Marty to walk them through their side of the story, and 1995 where Cohle and Marty encounter the murder case. The dynamic of the partnership of Cohle and Marty is nothing short but stellar, from script writing to acting. Besides the dynamic of whodunnit in the murder case, the series also makes us wonder wtf happend between Cohle and Marty to end up as who they are now in the 2012 timeline due to the noticeable difference they were in 1995 vs 2012. All sort of others elements such as religions, drugs, relationship, right & wrong are brought up and we are treated to 2 totally polar opposite takes on these matters. The serial murder case itself which seems to hint on some satanic elements also adds suspense to the overall series. We know that Cohle and Marty have managed to solved the case early in episode 1, but it was revealed there has been another murder with the exact same MO (Method of Operation) hence raising all sort of questions... Is this a copy cat crime? Did they catch the right murderer in 1995? Are they (Cohle or/and Marty) related to the murder in 2012?

My 2012 murder suspect list: Cohle, Marty, Marty's wife or someone random. Yes, the main characters are in my suspect list cause the story manages to hint on the darkness on each of these characters. On Marty's wife however I put in my suspect list as I feel a sudden twist with her being the murder would be a really big "WTF" moment. I do hope I am proven wrong with my guess and hope for a less predictable twist.


Btw, I do predict we will be seeing a "monster" of some sort at the ending. It's just seem like poetic justice to have a "monster" at the end.
