Rewatching True Detective, Season 1

Most nights, Liz and I are watching Netflix or something on TV while we eat dinner. But the last week or so, we’ve had a few evenings where our schedules differed a bit… and she’d eat a little earlier or I’d eat a little later.

In those instances, I’d sit at the computer and let her continue watching whatever she had started up. And on my end, took to trying the latest season of True Detective (now in its third season).

I got a bit into the first episode, then realized what I really wanted was to re-watch the first season, which I really just loved. The second season was… good. But the first? That was great.

Lately, when I’d gotten some time in the evening to work on my personal project… I’d have it on in the background. And invariably, I’d move it from the secondary monitor over to the primary monitor… and then I’d eventually just stop coding altogether, and keep watching.

Just got through with it again, and I’m amazed at how much ground they cover in just a small number of episodes. While I love the action, it’s the banter between Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson’s characters that I think I keep coming back for (at times, the conversation makes me think it’s a comedy). Great dialogue.

Everyone seems to be watching Game of Thrones or gearing up to watch the last Avengers movie. Me, I seem to be queuing up the old stuff.
