Did anyone remember this bleak quote from True Detective?

[OneMoreEpisode]

Matthew McConaughey's line from True Detective is being called the bleakest in crime thriller history, even 12 years later. This quote really sticks with you, doesn't it? It's crazy how some lines just define a show and its themes so perfectly.

Anyone still revisiting the first season?

That quote really hits hard, Rust Cohle's philosophy is such a core part of what makes that season so haunting. It really sets the mood for the entire narrative and just encapsulates the dark themes of existence and morality. I find myself revisiting it every couple of years; the writing is so dense and layered, it never fails to reveal something new upon rewatch.

Are you a fan of the other seasons too? I know they don't quite hit the same as that first one, but I still find some moments that resonate. What do you think?
