I knew about the fact that they have to reveal what they are doing. I just think his background as poor working class was interesting. This is not a guy that grew up among the elites.

I'm sorry, I have to point out the hypocrisy in this common claim of "soft disclosure" while blaming every hollywood name and production that you've ever heard. And you can't argue it's all part of the club while also citing the very people who testify to these things, such as CDAN, their list of white hats, their own informant, Robert Downey-Junior, who is still an active actor worth $300 million.

Sure, maybe you're saying there's good people, but truthful productions never get passed without a corrupt crew. If so, can you confirm anyone in these shows? The reason I'm responding is because the blame on Pizzolatto has never seemed warranted to me, ever. Read his books, his references, interviews, inspirations... If any truth is gonna be used to blame the creator, no matter who, then how the hell can you trust any disclosure or testimony?

Thank for your post. I really want to believe Pizzolatto is a good guy. Spoiler alert if you haven't seen the show, in the last episode of the first season the main character portrayed by McConaughy says something like it's always comes down to the same thing, the struggle between dark and light. He later has something of a near death experience and the very end of that same episode has him reacting to Harrelson's comment that there seems to be much more darkness by saying (paraphrasing), "No, I think the light is winning." I really want to watch the ending over. It's intriguing because the McCaunaghy character is very Nihilistic throughout.

Hey man, just wanted to say that we're probably both quite similar. I'm most likely hoping the best of Pizzolatto because I had such an emotional connection to his material. I already know most everything about TD since I'm a huge fan, but to Vulgar's credit, this obviously makes me quite biased. In looking at his character, his past, notes and commentary, I'm trying being as honest I can.

I actually did research to see if his name was actually Pizzolatto (it is). But in so doing, found out that his self described working class background is as the son of a lawyer? I'm not sure that's what most people think of when they hear working class. Even so, he was a complete unknown when he pitched True Detective and his ability to get the deal he got SEEMS to have come exclusively from his manuscript and talent. I noticed watching Season 3 (I skipped 2 will go back), that McConaghey and Harrelson are now executive producers. A little freaked out that McCanaghey is a Nununu fan, but I guess it's possible that not everyone connected to Nununu clothes is a pedo. But the skull stuff and their satanic symbolism is a bit worrisome. Does he not get what they mean? And if not, how so?

I honestly think it's kinda sick to watch a movie about that kind of content, just reading about it rots my brain
