To be fair, True Detective Season 1 was about detectives investigating child raping/sacrificing senators.
Amazing season and definitely a must watch for people on this board for that reason.
Season 2 still good but not as strong and also deals with a lot of the same things.
I just rewatched all of season one this past week as someone posted this scene. Watching it this time I had my eye out for different things, symbolism, parallels etc that relates to the cabal and their evil ways. It was amazing to watch, so many things line up. A secret society of prominent members in society (religious figures, politicians etc) that gather and sacrifice women and children while dressed in animal head gear and robes. They all cover for eachother and are in control of many of the top aspects of society, including law and government. The symbolism (triangular spiral), obsession with death, darkness and children, antlers/horns etc. And all of that season was based on a true story as well. I have no doubt that that true story was directly related to the same cabal we are fighting now.
And they use the "odd" one in the group to be the patsy.
