I decided to rewatch True Detective: The Long Bright Dark (TLBD), as part of my Reading work for the Lunar.
At least some of it, because every time I watch it, I think about how Malcolm and I watched it, how many in-jokes and discussions and references we had around it, everything, and it hurts.
I've now seen the first episode four or five times now, and it gets me every time. Every time I watch it, there's some detail that shows up and makes me love what happened in that first season all the more.
Alas, we are unlikely to see any more of Hart & Cohle Investigations, for a variety of reasons, but that is another story.

TLBD is the story of two men, Rust Cohle and Marty Hart, who come back as PIs after their respective retirements from the police force in order to solve the murder case they failed to 17 years prior.
It's also an extremely homoerotic exploration of power, hypocrisy, self-destruction, obsession, toxic masculinity, depression, and just the overall  darkness in the human heart.

I tried to take notes while I watched, but they didn't come out as well as I wanted them to, so I'm just going to start typing instead, spoilers be damned.
