True Detective

Finally saw the last two episodes last night.

My judgment on the series?

Wonderful television for 7.9 hours.

The last few minutes, when Cohle gets religion, are a bitter let-down.

And probably, to be frank, one or both of our heroes should have been killed.

The last word needed to be the vindication of Cohle’s pessimism.

That’s what noir, especially this sort of cosmic noir, is all about.

No happy endings, my friends.
