JB, what do you have against Curlin? He was a brilliant col...oh sorry, just saw the \"g\".
Three episodes to go and the internet is alive with speculation about what the
future holds: Will Harrelson\'s slutty gothy older daughter become a member or a
victim of the cult? Are there evil evangelicals (evilgelicals?) involved with
the cult? Will Harrelson\'s father - in - law reappear? Will we ever see the
Yellow King? Is there an assistant trainer or vet\'s assistant at Evangeline or
Delta Downs with enough experience to take over for the deceased meth cooker?
Best moment for me so far: watching the raid on the meth farm go down, while the
detectives retell a story slightly different than what we are seeing on screen.
I watch TV only selectively, and have never watched iconic series like
\"Homicide\" and \"Breaking Bad\", but I think the scenes where the Lone Star
quaffing, chain smoking, beer can sculpting McConaughey is being interrogated,
while possibly too obtuse and slow paced for some, are Brilliant!
JB, as to the pace and the psilosophizing, I think the novelist who has written
the script is trying something interesting: Fiction = characters, dialogue,
action, narrative. Usually when fiction becomes a movie or TV presentation, it
seems as if the author\'s philosophy, or \"worldview\", contained to some extent in
the narrative, is the most difficult aspect to put onto film; Pizzolato tries it
and this might account for the early slow pace here.
