I've been a HUGE fan of the first season of True Detective since it came out, and always wondered how many of the locations were real vs built in sets, so I went through and tried to map every key location of the first season.

A lot of it holds up exactly like the show, unfortunately some stuff like Rust Bar at the end of the season no longer exists...

If anyone's actually been to any of these in person, would love to see photos, I'm trying to build our a fuller picture of what they look like now, outside of Google Street View.

It kept being recommended to me based on my favorite series', but I resisted for too long. I'm glad I did though, because it's definitely in my top 5 now. I always saw McConaughey and Harrelson as decent actors, but with the same kind of personality in all their parts. But this was so different. I'm so impressed with both of them, especially McConaughey. I tend to be in the ACAB camp, but Marty's arc from stereotypical bitter, angry, womanizing cop with no control over his anger, to decent person who finally understands the importance of those closest to him was pretty believable. And the connection between the 2 of them at the end, after everything they had been through, throughout the years, was beautiful and so deep and real. What struck me in the final scene was the glimmer of hope from Cohle, which seemed to come from seeing something so dark that it made all the darkness in his whole life seem almost not as bad. And that solving and putting an end to it probably changed his nihilistic world view to some extent

Really powerful series. So much depth packed into 8 lil episodes.

I'm new to the show but I've just discovered his ranting and raving of season 4 and being petty. And when someone points out how it seems misogynistic to hate a show with female lead characters and a female showrunner he gets butt hurt and calls them "misandrist" and makes fun of them for "muh patriarchy". Wow what a petty POS he is. And proving that he is quite sexist after all. Whenever someone rightfully calls out misogyny and a man gets angry and claims "that's misadrist!" It tells you everything you need to know. Especially since he thinks the patriarchy is not a thing. And given how he writes female characters in general... yeah not surprising.
