Thread 212444789

I'm still chasing something that is even remotely similar to this. It's truly untouchable in my eyes. Please help me find something like this.

>>212444789 (OP)
I thought Prisoners was at least similar

>>212444789 (OP)
Based but nothing comes close

>>212444789 (OP)
yeah i know that feel. sharp objects comes pretty close imo.

If you think this is good, wait until you see Breaking Bad.

>>212444789 (OP)
why don't you just become a police detective in louisiana? hen your whole life will be like that.

>>212444907

I have seen and enjoyed BB, but TD1 is so -so- much better.

>>212444789 (OP)
the most 7/10 show ever, obviously would now seem like a masterpiece.

Have you tried the other seasons?

>>212444907
BB is quite better yes but no rewatchabiliy imo

>>212445016
fuck u TD S1 is 10/10

>>212445031

This made me laugh a hell of a lot, thank you. And to the other poster, yes I have seen the other seasons, 2 was average, 3 was great but lingered, 4 was unspeakably shit.

How they can be from the mind of the same writer as TD1 blows me away.

>>212444789 (OP)
why don't you just become a police detective in louisiana? then your whole life will be like that.

>>212444789 (OP)
Red Riding trilogy is like it and better

>>212445169
watch sharp objects you fucking faggot

>>212445272

I have never heard of this and it immediately caught my eye, thank you!

>>212445031
lmao

>>212445274

I have, it was okay. I thought it was slightly over-acted and the 'manic depressive' angle didn't really work for me.

>>212444789 (OP)
Sharp Objects?

>>212444789 (OP)
it seemed a bit like Scandinavian crime dramas from the 2000s

>>212445169
4 is not from the same guy.

>>212444789 (OP)
Stop trying to find a similar show, become the Yellow King irl

>>212444789 (OP)
Sopranos and Shield are the only 10/10 TV shows. S1 of True Detective is also a 10 but it went downhill right after.

>>212445323
oh ok then. cheers.

>>212444789 (OP)
Antinatalist kinos with unrealistic endings?
The Road

>>212445329
in terms of vibes, this
problem is what made true detective extra good was the corny yet dry and nicely written main characters and their performance.
Euro crime cops usually have the presence and aura of a houseplant. And thats when you understand them, probably much worse when you dont understand them.

>>212445046
>BB is quite better
Kill yourself ESL nigger

>>212445292
The books are also fantastic. And if you want something real look into the Franklin Scandal

>>212445426

The books? What books? You have my attention

>>212444789 (OP)
Get your Rust fix

>>212445452
Red Riding is an adaptation of 4 books by David Peace about a child abuse conspiracy and real life serial killer Peter Sutcliffe

>>212445553
I've never heard of this either, thank you!

>>212445169
They’re not from the same writer at all

I don't sleep

Watch the Conspiracy of Silence documentary about the Franklin Scandal.

>>212445789
kino

Se7en, obviously.
And that didn't shit the bed with the ending.

Inspector Rojas

how exactly is it "lovecraftian?" there's no eldritch monsters and nobody goes insane

>>212445393
Nah you’re just a typical burger faggot who needs everything exaggerated to be able to comprehend it.

>>212446520
i think the only two aspects that are lovecraftian in that sense is the mentioning of the yellow king and the slight hint at the end that the cult mightve been onto some real pagan god shit, if you interprete that the portal Rust saw was real.
Might be more meta with its lovecraftian themes, just the fear of the unknown of how depraved people can be. Like the story "the rats in the wall" from lovecraft

>>212446520
it's like a modern take on the lovecraftian tales. no evil space fishes that make people go insane, but several characters do get shaken to their core through the things they see so much that it ruins their lives, that sense of powerlessness... the king in yellow is referenced too and there's a creepy cult

>>212444789 (OP)
Se7en, Memories of Murder

>>212446520
Lovecraftian does not necessarily mean le scary fishes. True Detective S1 conveyed the nature of cosmic and existential horror perfectly.

if you want some real shit read Eye of the Chickenhawk by Simon Dovey and Programmed to Kill by David McGowan.

uh oh

>>212444789 (OP)
Absolute bottom tier slop for midwits,
>I'm 12 and this is so deep and edgy

>>212446630
Yeah, I guess that's why shows like Luther and Line of Duty rekt all their dry-ass competition when they were airing. Those shows are practically capeshit compared to the normal bong crime show faire. Must've been all those Americans pumping up the Channel 4 ratings, somehow, a year before it hit netflix or whatever.

>>212445007
did you watch BCS too?

I watched the entirety of this during a night-flight from Japan to Europe. I was tired from the travel, hadn't slept in days + had some alcohol.
It was a mystical experience and I TRULY understood the ending for some reason

thanks for visiting my blog

>>212445031

>>212444789 (OP)

>>212444789 (OP)

>>212448492
>>212448893

>>212446520

>>212447023

Also for the tone of True Detective just read Thomas Ligotti

>>212444789 (OP)
>there's a big untouchable menace
>you can't do anything about it
>maybe only tie up a small insignificant part of it
huh it actually was lovecraftian

>>212444789 (OP)
X-Files?

>>212444789 (OP)
Faggots and w*men will say Mindhunter but that’s because they’re faggots and w*men

>>212445031
Bros we're being freaking genocided... why couldn't that be Vince Vaughn woodenly delivering those lines... and Collin Farrell talking about fucking GIRLS instead of that bitch female talking about fucking GUYS??

>>212444789 (OP)
Sinners was the best southern gothic flick I've seen since TDS01
