About Best Crime: True Detective, the anthology series!

True detective - Pilot

The first thing I usually do when I start to look a Pilot is to see by it was written. And I find the name of Nic Pizzolato, author of eight episodes of the first season, executive producer and showrunner.

"People out here, it's like they do not even know the outside world exists. Might as well be living on the fucking moon "the words spoken by our protagonist, Rust Cohle help the viewer understand what environment will host the series.

We are in Louisiana, it is the first thing that I was not convinced here, and that is Mr. Fukunaga shows us desolately ample outdoor spaces and voids, as opposed to enclosed spaces. Typical setting of Louisiana ok, but compulsively proposal.

Another key figure in the series is the character of Martin that at some moment of the first episode gives nicknames different types of cop that exist: "the bully, the charmer, the surrogate dad, the man possessed by an ungovernable rage, the brain".

I find who is a little bit the climax of the episode (if not the entire season) the director plays with the images that we use to describe the figure of the policeman in noir, and being an anthology series, that is, with cast and different stories in each season, one day we will find as the protagonist's character as a "bully" or as a "charmer", perhaps even in the second season.

The "human factor" is important, as a noir of respect: the flashback structure gives us a portrait of two men who met 17 years earlier to investigate a murder of a serial killer. New techniques and used with intelligence, excellent casting, photographs refined and careful and a story that appears to be deep and realistic.
