Anyways we won't be watching anything like season 1 again. Its exactly of what happened with Lord of the rings. We won't see anything like it again buuuuuut we can watch LOTR and True detective season 1 again and again. At least thats what I'm doing... lol

Always welcome theories, but I’ve lost any hopes for S4. In fact, the levels of creativity in the THEORIES from viewers highlight just how bad the writing/directing is in S4. Combine that with a shortened run of only 6 episodes, and they’ve painted themselves into this corner of cramming all the answers into the last episode. Worst case scenario: half the characters are in toxic water induced comas in the hospital, but mentally dreaming the entire season. 🫤

A huge component that puts the Erroll Childress character into the ranks of the best screen villians of all time, and NOT just a monster, is that he's shown to be extremely intelligent, with a wide knowledge of the arts, literature, and popular culture, in addition to being a good mimic with a flair for drama.

That's no accident. The cult and lore are unique and nuanced, certainly well thought out but the main focus is on the characters themselves not the broader narrative conflict. I think it really redefines the concept of "antiheroes" in such a cool way. The type of people that could actually stop this type of horror could never be exemplars of moral perfection nor simply "edgy." They're damaged, complex, morally and ethically questionable. We don't get shining knights or hard boiled comic book heroes, we get destructive, extremely flawed alcoholics, depressed and traumatized men. Men who are a circumstance away from being full blown criminals themselves. But that's about as realistic as it can get. You don't fight monsters without being a monster yourself.

People who hate them want to be them. Both believing in or walking the line, thinking they "got them" under control. It's terrifying beyond belief.

True Detective season 1 is very complex. By the end you need a complete breakdown to fully understand the case. It took another rewatching for me to really understand the way thinks connect. I assume most people walked away from season 1 thinking Childress was abducting and murdering people for the cult, but that's not correct... The cult is full of rich and powerful people who despite pretending to be upstanding southern Baptist types, are actually beholden to the old ways of the Louisiana backwoods culture. That means voodoo stuff and other elite cult-like activities we've become aware of existing in real life. The cult abducts kids because they're both an elite pedophile ring, and (it seems) human sacrifice. Childress is one of the kids who was abducted by the cult. However, I suspect he wasn't so much abducted as he was given to them. We know his father is the rich and influential Tuttle we meet throughout the season, and are once again hearing about in season 4. Childress' mother is unknown. So I suspect one of the sacrifices of the cult involves members sacrificing their own children. To avoid sacrificing their actual kids, they father children with women who are either prostitutes, down on their luck, or all of the above. The child is then a possession of the cult, so Childress spent years enduring ritualistic torture and abuse by the cult members. Somehow he was not killed. It appears they chose not to kill him. Flash forward many years and now Childress is insane from his childhood experiences, and the family has put him to work as the caretaker for one of their many properties. Likely a property where they scouted for children to abduct, or a place where they conduct their rituals. Childress' crimes of abducting young women, torturing them and murdering them, is not something the cult ordered him to do. He does it on his own accord, although they likely know about it and have helped protect him from the law. When his crimes escalate and get more attention, it becomes impossible for them to hide him. Instead they monitor the investigation and try to steer it away from discovering the cult of influential people, and eventually sweep the whole Childress situation under the rug when he's finally taken down. Childress' actions are his own. He's just a low ranking member of the cult who was once a young victim of the cult as well. Seasons 4 seems to be tracking down some other tangential actions taken by the cult, or at least the Tuttle family.

Childress was killing them on his own accord,yes, but his methods can be turn back into the sacrifitial rituals because that was one of the ways he has seen and been taught to kill....! season one was actually an unsolved mystery....

The plot and lore are rich and nuanced but serve mainly to showcase the characters themselves. You could rewatch the show twice over just to understand Rust and Marty as characters. Rust's philosophical and existential monologues are a rabbit hole of their own. Hell I'm still deriving the symbolic meaning behind a couple of his most throwaway lines. (On the cross hanging on his wall) "It's a form of meditation. I contemplate the moment in the garden, the idea of allowing your own crucifixion." Do you realize the implications and ideas presented by just those two sentences? My point is this season is way too multi-layered and nuanced to comprehend everything in one viewing.

I always thought that the mental slowness of Childress' sister was a result of inbreeding and extreme child sexual abuse. Personally i think Carcosa used to be some sort of grand property belonging to the Tuttle family, where they used the maze to carry out their evil ritualistic killing of children.. The way that it's so overgrown and in disrepair leads me to believe it's no longer used by the main family, although they know damn well Childress is still killing there. They found so many bodies buried in the property, i can't believe they are all Errols. The one thing that haunted me the most was the videos that Rust stole from Tuttles safe. Every hardened cop actually screamed while watching it, it must've been a completely brutal abuse and killing. Shit, I've seen my share of gore, I've seen things that make me cringe but never scream. And these are hardened cops...i always wondered what they actually saw. Sorry i have a big morbid curiosity. But I've never been curious enough to watch something with content like that.

It makes me wonder what the generation after Errol would look like.

I just watched this season after finishing season 4. I remember the hype and I knew some of what happened. But with that being said, this was such an amazing season. I liked season 4, but season 1 is just magic in how it flows and how well the characters are played. McConaughey has some serious acting chops. This series and Interstellar both came out in 2014, that’s a pretty good year for him. Woody is no slouch either, he kills every roll he does. They have incredible chemistry together.

I always assumed it was some kind of ritual sacrifice. The show is based off the killings of a satanic cult from the 1980's that was said to be a group of wealthy and influential people who bred children for human sacrifices, pornography, and prostitution. Very dark stuff. There was also hundreds of accusations of devil-worshipping pedophiles who were operating in middle-class daycare centers. You see that part replicated on the show when they investigate the school where Childress worked.

My interpretation was that it’s just as much in Rust’s mind as in reality. Between his own hallucinations (which we see the most intense of moments later) and his intense obsession with the case, I don’t think it’s unlikely he had reached his mental breaking point and felt Errol was taunting him.

It’s a fortress, with tons of hidden hallways, tunnels, etc. Errol knows the fortress in and out. He used debris and decor to obstruct certain parts so that the primary pathway has a secondary, hidden pathway parallel to the primary one. He would be speaking hidden from view and a bit ahead of Rust so that the echo disguises where Errol is hiding. That sounds like something an insane person would do. The fortress probably looked a bit different when the entire cult still used it. Errol took over and has been planning this for years, because he’s is batshit insane.

If by "rational" you mean removed from spirituality or religion then there is none. If you include the supernatural realm in this scenario which you kinda have to when discussing such a religious show, then an explanation to your question could easily be that errol wasn't fully human so he could do things people who haven't done decades worth of satanic blood rituals couldn't do. He could also be possessed by if not just one but multiple dark spirits like the people Jesus encountered in the Bible. Possessed people can have strange and awesome abilities that us regular folk do not but obviously those aren't abilities you can control as they are the abilities of foreign entities that are using your body to manifest.

Season 1 was flawless. There is no significant critique I can make. One of those rare moments when you get the perfect show. The villain was good, but what truly made this show so great was the writing and directing. No other detective series has ever been able to present a plot with clues to follow as articulately as this one did. You actually felt like you were watching a case get solved, and that pieces of a puzzle were being fit together. So many mysteries fail at that seemingly simple goal.

Childress was a terrible monster of a person...but nic pizzolato stated that basically due to the corrupt nature of his upbringing (he had terrible things done to him to. Along with his sister) that he basically was raised in hell. He knew nothing of a moral compass or conscience because everyday, just like the kids he dud terrible things to, he also was exposed to that corruption. I think that's what that circle or spiral means. It's generational. It just keeps going. Nic stated that "Childress and his sister were basically just 2 kids left on their own".

I wonder what would happen if the supernatural element of Spawn was introduced to True Detective Season 1 and Rust and Marty come and act like Sam and Twitch. That devils are not only otherworldy, but walk among us even more, and they look like anyone of us and that the mystery lies in not knowing who they exactly are.

Excellent question, but I think that the answer is while he was indeed a formidable physical force, that doesn’t necessarily mean he was fairly competent or good in a chase. In the world of S1, Errol is backed by the web of corruption and rotten institutions that TD’s version of Louisiana is plagued with. I don’t think it’s an unreasonable assumption that he just failed to catch her and his compadres, so to speak, were forced to step in and clean up his mess. Or, that’s at least what I think happened. Still a great question.

It's a tired point by now, but one of the reasons is that they didn't do diversity casting. Every character is there with the characterization that matches his role in the story. The intriguing female characters are wives and prostitutes, the black characters are Southern ministers and housekeepers. There is no social justice agenda, so none of the characters has to make forced proclamations about their role or subvert what the expectation from experience would be. None of the women have to show that they are smarter and more competent than the men, the blacks don't have to be deep and intellectual beyond belief in spite of their evil white counterparts. The one main Southerner character is a self-deluding good ol' boy. All the characters make sense and can unfold onto each other, and they all relate to archetypes the audience understands on some level. Those elements were big problems for season 2-4. If women can't be allowed to be weak and vulnerable, they aren't very alluring from a storytelling perspective. If Southern blacks aren't allowed to connect to have their cultural idiosyncrasies like santería or working class/ housing project culture, then they just become bland, because none of their cultural baggage and background can be explored. In S2, they tried to make this tender looking model chick into an alcoholic hard-boiled detective, and it didn't work out at all. The blue eyed Chad just HAD to be a homosexual. It's like they had boxes to tick, but none of those boxes fitted naturally into the story. Episode 1 of season 4 started great, they basically had all the ingredients, but then they had to force their bizarre synthetic worldview into it.

My father worked in child Social Services for 40 years and he’d never discuss the things he’d seen and heard.. and when I watched this series I thought of how strong people need to be to work these jobs in real life.
