So many particulars. So many questions.
This is a lot better than it looks. Woody gives good Southern boy but I totally vibe on his mismatched partners weirdness.
'I don't sleep. I just dream'
and an exchange of great win when being interviewed about a cold case by two other detectives
'Can I get you to run to the store for a six pack?'
'Why'
'Is this admissible? then I want more than a coffee and a cheeseburger'
'exactly what?'
'Coors or Lone Star. Nothing fancy. Because it's my day off on thursday and on my day off I start drinking at noon. That dunt change'
*places a note of money on the desk and blows it towards a copper*
'I'd appreciate a little hustle on that'

I've downloaded the first 4 episodes based on a mate saying it was the best thing he's seen since The Wire. Gonna start it tonight, have high hopes...

Aaah. someone here was going on about it. Is it really that good then?
I find everything pales in comparison to the Wire and Sopranos. Will check and hope its not all hype. I find Harrelson a bit hit and miss. I didn't like Rampart.

Just watched Ep1. Very good indeed.

I love the brooding, menacing atmosphere it has.

Have the first 2 episodes downloaded but unwatched after seeing ads for it around Amsterdam. Good to hear it's good. 
Anywhere I can watch this without torrenting? Ive only got a chromebook, so assume I can't? Looks ace.

It's a pretty basic client but it works fine, put it on my dad's chromebook.
Only issue is clicking on torrent links might not open them in it so you need to copy the torrent url and paste it into the app itself.

Just watched episode 4. That final long shot was superbly done.

good article except literary references and themes are not 'easter eggs' ffs, its an intertextual reference.
episode 5 is fairly immense. AK with a round mag
and the biker man telling weird detective 'There's a shadow on you'

am loving Woody's shifty eyes in this. Whenever he tells a huge untruth to the investigators his eyes slide right then left. Subtle. 
Have watched the first two episodes so far, particularly enjoying McConaughey's performance.
There's an interesting article in the Grauniad about it, http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-r...etective-nic-pizzolatto-mcconaughey-harrelson. It's great that HBO would commission this from a previously unknown writer.

Just watched 1-5. Not as good as the Wire so far but nothing ever is.
Eps 1-3 are a bit slow moving but Ep 4 is good. I'm liking the scenescaping wide angle and ariel shots of Louisiana, and the soundtrack. It's a shame all the in-car shots are all noticeably chroma keyed but I'll reserve proper judgement til the last episode.
