Guess it depends on the next location if they use Far From Any Road?

But yeah, I reckon you're right and they go with a new song that nails the new area.

Loved how The Wire kept the same song but flipped the style every series.

TD opening titles were actually done by an Aussie.

Can't underestimate the lure of working with/on quality scripts, productions and talent, either.

TV is clearly where all the challenging/compelling material is these days.

Doubt that'll change any time soon...

Binged on the rest of True Detective last night.

Six riveting hours on end. Brilliant execution across the board. Sure to win a slew of awards.

McConaughey and Harrelson will no doubt duke it out for Best Actor in a-lot of those.

Let 'em share 'em all!

My only (unfair) criticism is that It's not the "game-changer" so many ecstatic reviews claimed.

And yeah, I was a bit deflated and disappointed in the killer's reveal.

Amazing work is more an eight-hour movie than series...

I was out Tuesday night and recorded it, sat down last night to watch it. To be honest, it was everything I hoped for and more. :lol:

Yeah have watched the first 5 of them - I like it, but then I've always had a deep interest in the dot com era, startups and the valley

So, so proud he wasn't the worst driver in Tassie, ergo that would have made him the best....and no bogan want's to be the best at anything. Other than being a bogan.... :lol:

He's the teacher I wanted (and probably needed) in high school.

I would've really boiled his piss...

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is pretty thin but funny enough.

Andrew Braugher gives it the gravitas it desperately needs to counter the sketch comedy tone.

Without him - or an actor of equal stature - it probably crashes and burns...

How good is that character. His ability to asses Jonah and the rest of the Lazorus Crew is outstanding.

Watched all of Jonah from Tonga on the weekend. Really funny. Mr Joseph is indeed the best character.

I'm glad the series is only 6 episodes though, I reckon if it was any longer they would have ran out of material
