Who Goes There (True Detective)
The season focuses on Louisiana State Police homicide detectives Rustin "Rust" Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Martin "Marty" Hart (Woody Harrelson), who investigate the murder of sex worker Dora Lange in 1995.According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.99 million household viewers and gained a 0.8 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.Rust (Matthew McConaughey) is questioned by Gilbough (Michael Potts) and Papania (Tory Kittles) for taking a sick leave, where he claims that he visited his dying father in Alaska.They also separately question Marty (Woody Harrelson) on the claim, as medical records show no evidence of Rust's father even being in the state for 30 years.Charlie recounts Reggie Ledoux's descriptions of a place where rich men go to worship the devil and sacrifice women and children, mentioning Carcosa and "The Yellow King."Marty tracks down Weems at a rave, who tells him that Ledoux cooks meth for a biker gang out of East Texas called the Iron Crusaders.This ultimately tense and violent episode, the halfway point of the series, sees Cohle go undercover and bloody mayhem ensue.This is the crowning achievement of Cary Fukunaga's True Detective direction thus far: A six-minute, unbroken tracking shot following Rust's participation in the Iron Crusaders' raid gone bad.From the backseat of the biker gang's truck to the rear of Marty's squad car, it's a nail-biter — a signature moment for the series that isn't Tumblr-parody-ready."[8] Britt Hayes of Screen Crush wrote, "Like Rust, 'Who Goes There' goes off the rails a bit tonight, devolving into a totally different kind of show -- not that this is entirely a bad thing.The plot is already constructed in a puzzle box fashion, as all the characters in 2012 know more than we do, and as we're given information and certain events out of order, and it's lovely to see the visuals presented the same way at times.As Marty peeled off from the crime scene, there was another shift in perspective, an overhead shot that pulled revealed a full-on police assault, a helicopter wheeling into position below us."[13] Kenny Herzog of Vulture gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "All of which brings us to True Detective's halfway point, and the fair task of figuring out just what it is we know: A prostitute is dead, some kind of Satanic cult with a spiral tattoo as calling card is sacrificing myriad victims, massive meth cooker Reggie Ledoux is not entirely uninvolved, and Hart and Cohle are two typically damaged detectives rooming together in 1995 and feeding each other's obsessions as the improbable end result of stupidity and circumstance."[15] Matt Richenthal of TV Fanatic gave the episode a 4.1 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "Overall, one of the best aspects of True Detective is that I have no clue where it's going to end up.The site wrote, "In the wake of an episode that ends with a nail-biting, completely bananas shootout/hostage situation/nighttime escape — captured with an epic, six-minute tracking shot — we still can't shake the equally stirring but far quieter work of Woody Harrelson as a deeply flawed husband coming to grips with the sudden but inevitable collapse of his marriage.
