Fortunately, I'm choosing to break the cycle of shitty-absentee-parenting induced evil rage by having my preschooler watch with me.

So what do you guys think is the deal with the present-day detectives asking all these questions? They ask the Woody Harrelson character a lot about Rustin Cohle, but not vice versa.

I think they suspect Cohle in the present-day murder, and maybe the old ones too.

That's how it would be on network tv, or in a lazy blockbuster movie that's really just an excuse to showcase Will smith. Too obvious, too neat. Something more complex is underway here.

I'm drawn to this because I need a break from my daughter's Caillou obsession and I frankly want to kill that bald-headed Canadian kid. So, you're half right.

They're implying something about Harrelson's character too, though - he talks a big talk about what a great family man he was and we see his affair, his rage, and he didn't appear to be wearing a wedding ring in those last interview scenes.

I don't think they are implying anything. His marriage is clearly over.

I LOVE this show. Every detail so authentic (though why do the wives/girlfriends look like supermodels? Don't know why that irked me a bit).

They want the viewers to believe this...but this is HBO so you can be there will be a good quality twist.

I think Harrelson and Cohle had a falling out as partners (maybe b/c Harrelson's character accused Cohle of the crimes and that divided them??) and now the present-day detectives are trying to, hopefully, bring them back together to solve the murders.

Agree with all the above posters that this is such a good show. Like they say, there are shows and then there is HBO.
