“I usually prefer podcasts by women, but I thought I’d give these guys a go for my re-watch of season 1. I think season one is all about how “you don’t own your woman the way you thought you did”, and the boxes and boxes and rows and rows of dead and missing girls being a result of a whole community thinking like that. **small spoiler** “Heart” (or is he Coal?) just wants to come home from a hard day at work and have a house of comfort, but maybe his wife also had a hard day at work, doing the shopping, the housework and the parenting. Maybe her car broke down on the way to pick the girls up from school; maybe she was sexually attacked on the bus when her hands were full with bags of shopping. We don’t know, because Marty. Doesn’t. Ask. **end spoiler**
Jim and Aron aren’t a total pair of misogynists, they are sensitive, smart, and do their research. I studied literature at university, got a C average, and used my degree for overthinking television shows. I never read any HP Lovecraft. I feel like Jim and Aron are well read, and got a As at university in their chosen fields. This is isn’t a feminist reading of True Detective, but it brings worlds of meaning that I would never have seen by myself.”
