I like the way that sounds. Did you like it? I'm watching it tonight.

Yeah, but my admiration of character driven cop shows is well documented.

It's been too long since there's been one on tv, high hopes for this.

What's funny about Woody is that in everything he is in, I can't stand him for the first 30 minutes or so (Zombieland being the exception), but then I just sorta accept it and end up liking a lot of his work. It's like vodka, the first shot or two sucks..

I understand that. He is one of the best ones from his generation though...and he is getting better. I cant just believe the change Mc has done..its fucking unbelievable.

A Time to Kill & Amistad. Nothing groundbreaking, but I always knew he had it in him.

Did you see The Messenger a few years back? I thought it fell apart towards the end but the first two thirds is fantastic & it's my favorite Woody Harrelson work so far.

Yup. And I think they are already hinting at McConaughey boning Woody's wife.

The shots of the shithole town where they work remind me of a couple of towns I lived in as a kid. And the religious/occult imagery is creepy as fuck.

Mud, Dallas Buyers Club, Wolf of Wall Street, this... McConaughey has been money in the bank. Not sure I've seen him play this type of character before.

Spoiler: show

Really stupid question: with the way the detectives were questioning the guys, are they tossing out a red herring that McConaughey might be the serial killer?

All of this is spot on. Really enjoyed that first episode.

That McConaughey thought they caught the wrong guy, perhaps the reason for his break up with Woody
