I just got to The Raid in S1 (E4, "Who Goes There") of True Detective. Holy f-ck. The only time I have seen the America of the bottom 50% presented honestly in media.

The show is so well written and acted and shot, and is so incredibly depressing. This will be a primary source for future historians' research into Post-Reagan America.

I don't know. I just thought they got too enraptured by the guy and his con. They missed too many good threads. A reputable filmmaker is going to get interviews from the church, from more of the parents, from the Ohio High School league, etc...

I mean I send my kid to a "prep school" and I'm not even the least bit curious as to where the building is located where he attends classes, or why he doesn't have any books, or why he doesn't get a report card, etc??? Makes no sense.

The investigator for the state hinted early on about how many different people in the media or elsewhere were made aware of this scam, yet never followed up until after a couple of ESPN play by play guys, who are so low on the chart that they got assigned a high school game, spent three hours complaining about BS?? Where are the interviews with those people? How about the coaches whose teams played BS?

I don't buy the whole "_________ refused to comment." That's part of the skill of an excellent documentary filmmaker.

I don't need to hear why Johnson thinks it was ok to dodge some hotel bills.

But this wasn't really about the parents...the filmmaker seemed to want to know more about the coach and how he was able to do it.

Kinda. But in my very straight opinion it's just not the same.

Kepler is right, assuming he's not saying it's a trash show. I really liked that show and Ellis dragged that show from network trash to very watchable. It got a bit boring but the dude can only do so much.
