Rust Cohle had my attention when he dropped the ‘I don’t have the constitution for suicide’ line but I have to say his most compelling trait so far has been that haphazard stack of nonfiction books on being a detective but not knowing about The King in Yellow. whatever is going on here is sparkling

#as in. quite refreshing bc the detective figure is usually random trivia heavy and playing their job by ear #but also that the way he articulates his thoughts has a literariness to the language #enjoying rust cohle’s dialogue and hart’s mortification + misery #and its atmosphere is perfect as I bake away in the summer rain-expectent heat #but uh. bit mid overal innit <- only 1.5 episodes in #log.#also genuinely didn’t think the king in yellow was niche like is it not a popular piece of horror
