Hopefully the next season also has a single writer and director. That's worked very well this time around.

Nic Pizzolatto has been the solo writer this season (he's also the creator), so I don't think he'll be going anywhere. Whether he gets some help with the scripts next season, who knows. HBO hasn't even actually renewed this yet - I'm not sure what they're waiting for.

I'm down for women or men detectives as long as the next season is as great as the first one has been. Trying to think of some leading actresses that would fit well for the tone of this series but not coming up with any off the top of my head. Doesn't mean there aren't any though.

Jodie Foster. Angelina Jolie. Angela Bassett. Julianne Moore. Amy Adams.

Jodie Foster was also the first name that popped into my head. That would be a tough 'get', but maybe if they let her direct some of the episodes as well.

Or Meryl Streep...she can play anything. Kate Winslet is a possibility too, especially since she has a history of working with HBO.

Then again, if they're looking for someone younger, please hire Jennifer Lawrence - especially if Season 2 is going to continue the trend of topless scenes.

I found it funny that the same chick who is getting banged in every other episode of Banshee shows up on True Detective and is almost immediately doing Woody

For some reason, I can easily picture Maria Bello in this show.

I wonder if her starring in the Prime Suspect remake would keep them away from that - I'm sure she was good but the show wasn't successful.

Next season's theme should be Larry the Cable Guy and Carlos Mencia: Bikini Inspectors.

she did show up earlier in the season but that lawn wasn't ready to be mowed just yet.

Re: True Detective -- "Haunted Houses" -- 2/23/14

So my Ole Lady read a theory...(Forgive me if it's been mentioned already)

Spoiler:
Rust's daughter was not killed in an accident and her death may also be connected to this case like Hart's daughter may be. He may be looking for her killer via this case which would explain the obsession.


When I think about his reaction to the child abuser/killer it kinda makes sense. But I also think people are also reading a lot into this show and going deep when maybe the answers are, "Right under your nose"
