Loved this. I donated. I’d LOVE to read Kitten’s take on that scene between Cohle and Maggie. I try to make sense of my reaction to it, and my husband’s.

” if your intent is for your serial killer show to not be just another serial killer show, why make it about the serial killing of sex workers, an overused trope if there ever was one? ”

A show that features a murdered sex worker isn’t the same thing as a show “about the serial killing of sex workers.” I think it’s obvious that the show is NOT about the serial killing of sex workers.

Yes, the two main characters (and many non-main characters) are shitty human beings, Hart being the worst of the two imo. Real life is also full of shitty human beings. I honestly don’t understand why people are so shocked to also see them on television.

There’s a LOT I liked about the show, personally.

kitten karlyle this was a really wonderful and nuanced analysis of a show I found both disturbing and fascinating. You nailed it though and yet the problem remains can a male screenwriter ever truly capture profoundly female experiences. Yes of course there are cis men and trans women whose experiences exist and need to be told too. But as a woman watching the representation of my many experiences I am constantly amazed (and underwhelmed) at how fantastically wrong many writers get it. Bravo to you. I would love to see you publish this in a film journal.
