I thought I heard some talk about "Season 2," which threw me. I was under the impression that this was a mini-series.
I have continued to watch it. Good acting, interesting situations, well portrayed.
Still don't know what the fuck is going on.
There's a Season Two but entirely new story and new characters. There's just 2 shows left in this one.
Clearly, Cohle put together that there's been a serial killer (s) working the whole time and there's someone on the police force that's been helping keep it silent. That's why all those "Made in Error" reports came up whenever he looked into previous Missing Persons
Woody's character is a bit of a psychopath, but I don't believe he's the Yellow King despite the clue leading us there e.g. Hart is another name for deer and when they're walking to Ledoux's place Hart mentions that he shot a "10 point buck"
"Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.
—"Cassilda's Song" in The King in Yellow Act 1, Scene 2
