The Secret Fate of All Life

After the previous episode my expectations for a great episode, was raised.. yet this episode manages to be amazing as well, just in a different manor! Here the writing really prevails as well as how information is given to us!

Since the first episode we have been going back and forth between the interogation in 2012 and the case in the past! We never knew why it took place but this episode starts to give us hints and answers! This was the first time the 2012 stuff had me on edge!

Cohle really shines in this episode and we are forced to look at him differently! All the things they been through.. it changes a man! They have seen and experienced darkness! That.. affects who you are as a person!

Great and shocking moments! It felt like a finale.. but also felt like a new beginning for the final part!

Im gonna be honest i didn't know Tv could be this good. Im blown away i mean i just don't know what else to say, this is so unbelievably good. This episode is purely perfection from start to finish delivering some of the finest writing, directing, and display of tension to be put in an hour of television. The intensity was so palpable, i almost forgot to breathe it was so well executed. This show always keeps me guessing and I'm so curious how this show is going to conclude. Last episode was so good and I didn't know how it could be topped, and yet I cant believe I'm saying this but i believe this episode outdid the last in every way which is such a high compliment. One of the highest tiers of television and some of the most perfect Tv i have ever laid my eyes on.

Like the previous episode, you can cut the tension with a knife here. Especially, in the initial and final portions. Additionally, there have been some excellent juxtapositions in this episode. I liked the shooting-board one - where Rust and Marty present their version of the events, intercut with footage of what happened.

Again, a lot of new territories are covered. There has been subtle 'Rust: The Killer' references throughout this series and this episode brushes away the dust and follows up on this storyline. Suddenly, all that has been done up till this episode has come to naught. True Detective starts again, delving deeper into dark, unchartered waters.

I love this show. I totally agree with some of the reviewers that say this is a good as The Wire.

Great script, great directing and great acting are all it takes to make a great, solid show. And this show is it.

I'm glad HBO puts out great quality shows like this one. You couldn't ask for more.

Thanks for giving me something to look forward to on Sunday nights. I normally don't watch television because reality shows don't do it for me, but this show has all three elements I look for - great acting, great script and great directing makes for a great quality show. THANKS!

Even better then Who goes There. Episode 4 was probably as good as ozymandias or the winds of winter, but The Secret Fate of All Life was just even better. If you haven't watched True detective, do it!

And wow, that music, acting and the dialogs. Just...Wow.
