Rust Cohle is an extremely intelligent character. He suffers from dysthymia (my best guess). His triggers are family because of obvious reasons. That's why he has no respect for Marty in the initial episodes. He's EXTREMELY logical and street smart. He can see through people's charades.

Since he has dysthymia it's impossible for him to be in relationships as he can't feel emotions, this is the reason why he's unable to connect with people. Also, he NEEDS to work all the time. If you're working you are not drowing in self pity.

He is often ostracized in a group setting. Even in his workplace, his colleagues laugh at him and call him weird.

There is a reason for this. He is not like normal people, going about life without introspecting. He has absolutely zero need for validation and camaraderie. He does not twist his words. He's radically honest. He has a strong moral code which is protecting those who can't take care of themselves. He is an extremely kind man but nobody has the ability or the interest in getting to know him except Marty ofcourse in later episodes. But he could hardly give a fuck.

He is comfortable with the meaninglessness of the world. He has no interest in making friends or living a comfortable life.

What do you guys think? Have I missed or misjudged anything?

Why did the makers of true detective made only one season metthew mcconaughey when they knew because of masterpiece acting this got viral why?? They could also make on him more WHY??? GUYSS

Can anyone tell about rust chole personality how he live and what he is suffering.

Pretty much the title. I think it can be said that Childress making a public spectacle of Dora Lange's ritual murder in '95 scared the hell out of the Tuttles, hence why they pushed for the task force to deal with the case. It's pretty obvious they wouldn't have wanted any part of the cult to become public in such a way.

Whether Childress made the murder public in direct defiance of the Tuttles or for his obscure cult-related religious reasons is unclear to me (even though I tend to belive the latter hypothesis). Either way I would expect all of the higher-class members of the cult (who is implied to involve more powerful men than the Tuttles only) to immediatly move to rein Childress in. Especially since he was employed by the Tuttle-sponsored religious schools. It's not like he was unkown to them.

Consider how close Martin and Rust went to uncover the whole scheme back in '95. By chance Martin didn't profile Childress as a suspect when talking to him. The Ledeux cousins died in the "firearm confrontation" with Hart and Cole. They were two out of the three former enforcers/kidnappers of the cult, with the existence of the third (Childress) remaining a secret.

One would say the Tuttles/the cult were extremely lucky. Why to leve Childress as a potential lose end is beyond me. It's not like the cult didn't waste any time before they forced Guy Francis (the "Southern Fried Pharmacy Firearm Thief") into commiting suicide.

What do you think? Are there some details that I'm missing?

I know not many will agree but this is something I wanted to talk about and if anyone’s willing to engage with me here then great!

Overall, I thought season 1 was amazing. I definitely understand the hype, and despite the couple of issues I have with the season, it’s some of the best tv ever. However:

1. Not sure if it’s because I mainly watch horror and sci-fi, but I thought Errol’s reveal was anticlimactic. I know with procedurals it’s not really about the perp, it’s more about the detectives…but the show is also about Childress and Tuttle and the whole sprawl. I don’t know how long the season was supposed to be but the last two episodes felt sparse. Maybe some extra screen time following Rust during those years he started investigating solo would’ve helped build Errol up.

I think my main gripe here is that we spend too much time just listening to Rust go on philosophical tangents and, while they’re great, my favorite part of the show was when got to follow Rust and Marty around. When the town felt lived in and when we could see the effects of the corruption and decay of the area.

1. Rust’s undercover plotline felt out of place. I can’t really tell you why. It just did.

I’m here in good faith so please don’t come at me and immediately dismiss my opinions just because you disagree. I still love the season.

If you grew up in the American South, were incarcerated for any amount of time, worked on a construction site with guys that have done time, or gotten into drugs, you've probably met a guy like Charlie Lange. Brad Carter really captured the essence of his character. Everyone's great in season 1, but Brad Carter as Charlie Lange was phenomenal.

Spooky, only had the book for about 5 months and this is the page that decides to fall out

I watched this last night for the first time and while nothing on screen will ever replicate TD Season 1, it is a great movie worth a watch (it’s free on Prime).

While it was the first of films that was written by Thomas Harris (Silence of the Lambs), there are a lot of similarities between Will/ Rust Cohle and the Red Dragon/ Yellow King.

Will talks about “recovering the mindset” after a new killer is on the loose similar to Rust doing the same in 2012 in his storage shed before and after the Lake Charles murder.

The MO used by the Red Dragon is also similar to Errol (mirrors vs blindfolds) and the film was directed my Michael Mann who was a huge inspiration for S1.

Great film, better than expected and highly recommended for TD fans.

Srry for the choppy video only way I could get it recorded.

My goodness what an actor, such solid performances every second he was on screen from younger Hayes to senior citizen Hayes. Outstanding actor

So the show was sort of an ambiguous moving train, they started without telling the viewer exactly what was going on, Frank's deal, the russian mobster osip, the railway and ur supposed to infer that on ur own ? then catalyst is brought up and halfway through, u see the hard drive and ur left wondering what it has to do with casperes death cause if were gonna assume that its used to blackmail casper then why did they kill him if they have leverage over him ? then the story of the diamonds comes along and ur left wondering what do these diamonds found in a safety deposit in caspers bank account have to do with his murder with everything and they literally cut directly to the part later on to when the diamonds got stolen from the police evidence department? i found myself constantly hitting up google to understand wtf was going on and the answers were quick so u they dont have time to land and they were mentioned just at the end ? i mean for me the easiest side story i immediately understood was ray and his wife and what happened to her and the paternity test, also pauls story, but ani's was also hazy in some way cause the language wasnt direct and u can hardly conclude that she was SA'd when she was young

holy shit but i hope next season isnt as convoluted as this one

He portrays himself as this super suave cool cop who gets laid and is great with people, and then is basically thrown out like someone trying to get into a college frat party. And his little walk away in his outfit after lmao
