Please focus!
I love listening to podcasts about my favorite TV shows and films. Since not a lot of people I know personally are as enthusiastic about this medium as I am, varying, insightful perspectives I find online serve me and my own interpretations on what I watch tremendously. With that being said, once I started to watch this show I was eager and excited to see what other people had to say about it. A show as emotionally rich and philosophically driven as this would be sure to strike up some really interesting conversations on existence, love, purpose, destiny, and all the infinite entities we as human beings struggle to understand. I am NOT trolling on the people on this show, I actually think they are insightful, perceptive people when they can actually buckle down and focus. They are constantly praising and gawking over the brilliance of the show (which I completely understand, I don't think people will realize how important this show is until long after it concludes). We get it, the show is masterfully written, gorgeously composed, and flawlessly acted. There is SO much more to talk about other than that, that's given. I find myself on the verge of shouting when the people on this show lose focus, begin clowning on each other and whatever else. Every minute or so, someone will speak up and say something important. The guy with the deep voice seems the most consistent. Maybe it's because they record right after watching the show, a show like this should be given a little more time to process, maybe even a second viewing would lift the quality of the podcast. The girl is especially irritating, she is pretty much fangirling over McConaughey the entire time. I'm not asking for further commentary on the world views Cohle and Hart have expressed, but I would like to know if anybody agrees with them or at least understands why some people feel that way. I share a lot of both of those character's sentiments and wonder if I'm the only one. There is a lot being suggested in this show, and I would just like a sharper, more focused podcast. And as much as you guys praise Nic Pizzolatto, you guys either didn't spot his cameo (he was the bartender in the titty bar) in "Who Goes There" or forgot to mention him. When you guys focus, the show is great, when you don't I feel like ripping out my headphones.
