The wu tang blasting and the reaction of the neighborhood. They also didn’t make it too much like a shoot em out thriller - rust didn’t wanna be a hero, as no one would in that situation.

Nick didn't write it. The plagiarism scandal is common knowledge by now.

The unique blend of conspiracy, philosophy, government, family, religion, police, murder, southern gothic and the hint of cosmic horror is what makes this first season such a timeless classic. Maybe the single greatest self contained story ever told on television. The acting, the direction of action, and the script just merge together into a real masterpiece. It's more Cormac McCarthy than even the Coen Brothers, just brutal and precise from beat to beat and the unwinding of the scale of the horror is spellbinding. The creep that builds around the Tuttle family is spookier than just about any horror I've ever come across, other than Lynch and Ligotti.

I think part of what makes Rust so compelling is the mystery.

One thing to remember about pizzolato is that he grew up around a weird version of southern religious society. It shaped him profoundly and made for an interesting backdrop. One recommendation I'd give to people is to stop looking at media for inspiration for the settings of your story. You need to invent and be inspired by something perhaps a bit more intimate to you. I always hear people talking about making the next dexter or doctor who but with a slightly different setting. Or "this" but gritty. I think there are infinite stories to be told but we always need to be reaching somewhere new.

The resulting contrast really allows it to shine just as Rust and Marty's.

Years ago, a friend of mine tipped me of this movie(serie) at around midnight, some hours later as the sun was coming up i had binged the whole thing and was standing outside smoking and just felt this awesome feeling of 'WoW... what just happend" I'd call True Detective one of the best "movies" i've ever seen. I Wish I could forget it so i can have that experience again.

I absolutely loved this show. The intro alone would give me chills. It was one of the most captivating seasons of any show Ive ever watched . Woody and Mathew, what a dynamite pair of actors

One of the single best seasons of TV ever produced. It's amazing, perfect.

I think it was episode seven or eight of season 1...where Rust infiltrates the biker gang and then takes one of them hostage while a police raid/shootout is happening, fuck, that scene (hell the entire episode) is perhaps one of the greatest pieces of acting and cinematography I've ever seen. even more impressive that it came from a tv show, taking something as routine as an undercover operation into a GTA style mission and cutscene.

I just watched Ssn 1 for the third time and have been looking into videos about the making of it. This is my favorite one. Great job.

That first season. What a work of genius!

Greatest movie I've ever seen. Takes about 10 hours to watch but I love every second.

God, I miss Rust Cohle and Marty Hart. I would love to see a show about Rust time as "Crash" with the Cartel and Iron Crusaders!

It might be good but I still believe that rust and hart chemistry was what made the show really good. Just rust alone in a series wouldn’t be that good.

Every single word in this video is PURE gold. It is like attending a Masterclass. Thanks for sharing this!

This was incredibly insightful. Thanks!

I would have happily watched these 2 drive around and talk for 8 hours. Easily.

Everytime I try and watch something new, I feel like watching TD season 1 instead. It's so goddamn good. Never wanted it to end.

One of the best videos ive ever watched. Thank you

Loved True Detective. Loved Pizzolatto's discussion on it. Now, back to working on my own novel, inspired.

Hands down one of the greatest things I'll ever watch. I recommend this to literally everyone, regardless of their preferred genre.

This is what I was looking for like entire months, thank you so much

Oh, that's a great idea! Thanks for watching. I really appreciate your long-held support. You're an OG!

Only show that interested me in the past few years. I think it shows depths and emotions that many shows never thought about. In that I mean the dark of one person i.e self destruction can be the best to combating another person who uses this to hurt others or the innocent.

You finally did it!

Loved this so much, as well as Season 3. Will see Season 2 soon!

absolute masterpiece of a season, i fell in love and have binged it like 4 times over the years

my favorite piece of writing in any medium, ever. Casting and directing perfectly realized Pizzolatto's work, too. Truly a Masterpiece all around.

try reading thomas ligotti, the person pizzolatto stole it from

Watched TD s1 for the first time last week on Christmas of all days and I loved it. This video was fascinating

What Nick says about Rustin Cohle's code of honour that lies outside whatever his society offers and therefore can't be swayed or corrupted by whatever is trending with those around him, is exactly what I think is central to the character and makes him so great.

The thing about Rust is not only his deep, unique and pessimistic philosophy of life that we all find very weirdly true deep within our selves even if we don’t like to agree with it, but the sense of weakness and fading within his eyes the more he starts to get closer to that killer. In 2012, his eyes were literally brittle and teary, back from 1995 to 2002 all the way to 2012, the more he feels he is getting closer to darkness itself. The Yellow King is a symbol of all the darkness in the world and the one that Rust is identifying himself with ever since the death of his daughter. The Yellow King is just an extreme version of Rust, who sees nothing but “black stars” and can’t find light in life so starts inflicting all his pain on others and the innocence of children, he doesn’t want a shade of light or innocence in this world because that is the way he sees it and wants it. When the yellow king calls Rust a “priest” it is because he has heard of him when he used to make killers confess to their sins and so says “Take off your mask”, because he senses who Rust is deep inside and just like Leaduox says “I have seen you in my dream, in carcosa”, just like how he was consistently thought of as the real “killer” by the two detectives and everyone who refers to the Yellow King’s scarred face - screams in agony always whenever Rust is infront of them. These similarities are there and it is only when Rust is very close to real “darkness” that he begins believing in the light again and reshaping his belief of the stars within the darkness of the surrounding sky. He clearly wanted to die and this is why he removes the knife from his wound to let the bleeding settle, he accepts death but it is this moment when he is in a close engagement with darkness itself that he starts looking into the light and reevaluate his life and job, bravery and effort as a true detective, fighting the darkness no matter how dominant it is. He finally gets something at the end of all his struggle and many close encounters with death and life and understands to finally not give into darkness like he has always done.

Oh boy, here I go watching season 1 of True Detective again

This is so much better than all the things i have watched over YT today. 🖤🖤🖤

Extremely good information here, being honest with yourself is always the first step.

Great work putting together Nic's thoughts on his process. The guy's ideas are just what I thought they would be. Personally , I'm a huge Breaking Bad fan . But what Nic has achieved in a handful of episodes..it's truly unreal. Sadly such artistry is hard to come by.

Thanks, Siddhesh. I really enjoyed listening straight from the source. Nic has some really interesting thoughts on writing. If you like Breaking Bad, I also have a video on Vince Gilligan and his writing staff's process. Enjoy.

Absolutely amazing season of tv that was. Making it happen again is nearly impossible

this was by far so well written, so well directed well casted. this series kept me on my seat each episode. i was so not a woddy and matt mc fan but watching this unreal. esp matt mc. this series was unreal. season 2 bombed.

Beautiful piece of work

One of the best shows of all time. Matthew McConaughey is insanely good in this show. Different level.

I read that Mathew wrote his own 100-page essay on the motivations and life his character to give himself off-script context. The amount of detail is insane.

Youre great at putting these all together, thank you. Always enjoy your work

That was quite inspiring. Great vid.

I can rewatch Season 1 of True detective again and again.......and some years later again! 😂 Its that good!!

Matthew McConaughey's performance in this show is the best acting I have ever seen. He got robbed on the Emmy. Breaking Bad doesn't even make my top 10 of all time.

Man that is the best season of any tv show ever, hands down

This is such an awesome edit

I love a movie about two man just riding around and talking! Steve Coogan made few of those.
