we get the world we deserve

True detective can be understood as "true detective", which is also the meaning of the condensed title "true detective", and I think it refers to the detective who seeks the truth, because in terms of the ending, the price of the truth is too heavy.

I haven't watched the first season, it is said to be a divine drama, and the ratings are also very high. The theme song far from any road is very classical, as if the story should take place in the manor during the Civil War. So I watched the second season with this expectation, thinking that it would probably continue the tone of the theme song of the first season.

From the theme song, the tone of the second season is different from the first season. The color is mainly scarlet, which is more like the color of industrial metal pollution than that of blood, which symbolizes bloodshed and corruption.

One of the tricks used in the title is to organically combine the characters and the scenery, presenting a strange beauty, and there is horror in the beauty. Because of some combination angles, it is easy for people to see it as a skeleton.

In the picture above, except for the eyes, other facial details are hidden, and the background is the road and land, which is fine.

Eyelashes and stones, eyelashes fluttering in the wind, I really like this picture.

There is a vague outline of a woman, no facial details, and the rocks in the middle look like the teeth of a skeleton, which is a bit scary.

Ahead...high energy?

The eyes are replaced with tunnels, and the back image is a fire. This scene sounds terrifying at first glance.

The roads and the cars coming and going in the dark are like the muscles and blood of the human body. Of course, the roads are analogous to the blood vessels of the city, and there is nothing wrong with them.

To be honest, I didn’t understand the main idea, but it probably means I got it. The story takes place in a corrupt and declining city of Vinci in California. Three police detectives gather together because of a case, and they run around to find the truth. Each has a frustrated life. . A big boss who colluded with the murdered official, and his entire net worth was lost with the death of the official, so he was also implicated in this case. Things didn't go well because of the high-level interests. Two police detectives died because of this. The female police detective was wanted and went away to another country. The boss wanted to get back what belonged to him, but was attacked by blackmailers, and finally died in the desert.

The large characters on the poster may have made it clear that the theme of the play, "we get the world we deserve." This is most evident in Lei and Xie Miao. Ray's ex-wife was raped many years ago. The leader, Semyon, gave him the name of the "rapist". Ray violated the principle and killed the "rapist". While they were investigating the murder, his superiors told him that the rapist who had hurt his wife had been caught, and Lei knew that he had sold his soul, but he got nothing, and that he had turned into the degenerate appearance he is now, so he questioned Xie Miao.

Xie Miao:

And Xie Miao, faced with multiple choice questions about suits and life, he chose suits. "I don't put on a suit for the first time until I was 38," he said. Although some people say that there are diamonds in the suit, he does not want to let the diamonds fall into other people's pockets. But I still think that a suit has a special meaning. It is the dignity of Xie Miao as a big man, and it is his obsession that he has always wanted to whiten himself, and it is a cause that he has devoted himself to over the years. In the end, his soul watched himself fall into the vast desert.

So now it seems that the misfortune of each protagonist stems from his own obsession, Paul because he can't let go of his gay identity, Frank because of a suit, because of dignity, and Ray because of his wife's misfortune. As for ani's devotion, I don't understand too much, because the dark memories of childhood have an inexplicable hatred for men, so in the end she fled with another female character?
