Didn't you hear what the news anchor said? The machine was already at work clearing the names of the powerful.

Yeah, but at least Hart & Cohle, and perhaps others, know that isn't true. Some group of at least six (5 participants + videographer) did horrific crimes for decades. Why no interest in pursuing them once Errol goes down?

Cole and Hart did their job. They found the man with the scarred face. It was really the only clue they had in regards to putting a face to the deeds. Cole and Hart are no longer police officers and they left the blueprint for the police to pursue all others.

But that attitude is entirely inconsistent with Cohle's whole approach. Remember that they supposedly had completed their job once before, seven years earlier when they killed Reggie LeDoux. But once Cohle figured out that the conspiracy extended beyond LeDoux, he set up his while storage unit bunker and began investigating aggressively, even though he wasn't a police officer anymore. So now we're supposed to believe Cohle just doesn't care anymore? Is Cohle going to tell Norm (the bar owner/sniper whose son disappeared) that the mystery is simply over, even though they both know it's not really over?

Okay, I'm the PP who said this is not "real" LA and I'm also from LA. The scenery was good and some of the cops were realistic but I think it's totally incorrect to say this represents "real" LA. People will take that to mean we're all full of the occult and that there are disgusting guys like Childress and Ledoux down every random country road. Yes, it looked like Louisiana but the story was completely fictional.

They were partners before the wife incident. Cohle saved Hart's life at least twice before their fight. They experienced a life and death event together. I do not see them becoming closer after such an event crazy. Hart saved Cohle's life. It would seem natural that Hart would look in on Cohle during his recovery.

Really? I totally missed that, but that would answer my earlier question. For some reason I thought you could see Tuttle in the tape, but I must have just assumed that because the tape was found in his house. But I guess they couldn't prove that.

Also, to the person that said that there would definitely be a second season because there were so many unanswered questions, this story is over. Next season will be an entirely different story and cast. What we got in these 8 episodes is all we'll get in terms of answers for Rust and Marty.

The ending was too philisophical. I think it would've been better if there was an opening to the next season - like pursing the political side - like the last scene could've been the camera panning out with Tuttle sitting at his desk with his feet up laughing to himself - under his dress sock a small tattoo of that weird swirly mark...It would leave the audience wondering what was next, that not everybody was caught, etc.
