That's the kind of stuff im into (Gritty, dark, bizarre, etc.) never seen before a series with such depth in their characters, the dialogues and the scenery are just amazing.
Can you recommend some similar series or films??
Im actually watching the killing from netflix it has a similar depressive atmosphere but there is no comparison to True Detective.
I am also watching twin peaks (weird as fuck).
it always puts a smile on my face when someone still has to watch Twin Peaks for the 1st time.
Though admittedly, I didn't even see it when in high school but only a few years later
(shame on me, but it was on very late here, and we didn't have tablets or laptops to watch on in our room).
Anyway, as you no doubt heard, almost anything by David Lynch.
If you want dark, I can always recommend "Mulholland Drive" and "Lost Highway".
It might take 2 or 3x watching it before you get the scenario, but it's totally worth it.
And both have wonderful soundtracks by Badalamenti.
I'm such a big fan of Badalamenti that at one point I actually bought al his favorite synths.
The Twin Peaks pad sound is literally a preset on the Korg 01r
Also, make sure you watch "Fire Walk With Me", which was made after the series, and is even far darker than the series. Don't watch it if you're still watching the series, or you'll just see massive spoilers.
Btw : did you know that "bob" character was put in there by accident ?
It's one of the sound guys that got into view in a mirror on some shot, and Lynch liked it so much he created a whole character out of it.
If you're looking for films which are similar dark trips...
I'm a massive film fan, so I can give you a few tips.
(I created a film topic a few years ago, you can still find it here somewhere)
I used to watch about 20 films/month for more than a decade.
let me go and have a look at my DVD collection...
