Yet another take on True Detective

[rich]

the other shows she mentions Top of the Lake and The Fall were very good
and just as good as true detective, with strong female leads. neither is
really likable  as are the detectives in True detective. But to criticize a
show for not having a strong female lead is like whining that the
aforementioned shows above not having a strong male lead (they really
don't). Moreoever, the focus is on these two male detectives with all their
shortcomings--thats the strength of the show. Woody Harrelson's wife doesnt
strike me as a weak character. The circles of whores, junkies, rural white
trash, the overly sexualized religious atmosphere, the characters they come
across fits the story. thats how I see it anyway
