There are moments while watching HBO’s grim and unnerving new character drama – not cop procedural – True Detective when you find yourself laughing. These aren’t just the laughs that stem from feeling uncomfortable, although those do occur, such as in the latest episode when our two detectives visit an outdoor sermon for a cultish […]
