For such a highly proclaimed mini-series, the opening episode of "True Detective" is extremely poorly paced and profoundly muddled in the development of the action. The voices of the actors are monotone, boring, like you would be listening to preacher. These men don't even sound like detectives. When the one officer says "i am begging you to shut the f%%% up," in the car, I am begging the same thing. I cannot keep watching. It is slow torture. It is like someone drunk or high on marijuana just keeps talking to hear himself talk. It is painstaking to listen to him talk.
I agree with another who said the telescoping of the action through flashbacks slows the film and detracts from the drama.
Much of the film content is unpleasant, as the two detectives seek to understand the satanic killing of Dora Kelly Lange, age 28.
A disappointing premiere episode!
