As we approach the final two hours of HBO’s grim, gripping mini-series that has already become one of 2014’s cultural staples, it is fascinating to see how much True Detective has played around with the viewer's expectations. From the pilot episode until last week, Harrelson’s Hart and McConaughey’s Cohle were testifying in front of two other detectives, but not all of what they were saying was true. Pizzolatto’s series has teased us that Cohle may be the murderer himself, and brought in some red herrings to populate the putrid Louisiana landscape that turned out to be, well, red herrings. A mini-series filled with pulp and philosophy, True Detective’s run is now winding down and we're getting closer to finding the root of at least some of the evil that is peering out from behind the torn, tattered trees and within these tortured detectives.
