Episode #3: The Locked Room




Detect This!: A True Detective Podcast show

Summary: In this episode, Andrew and Charlie turn their attention to True Detective's depiction of religion. Does the show sympathize with Cohle's absolute atheism? Is this unique for HBO, or television in general? What does Hart's confrontation with Lisa reveal about his attitudes towards women? What made Cohle such a pessimist? And what is the title referring to, exactly? Plus, they induct some honorary members into the Detect This! team and discuss some fascinating listener feedback. Tune in to find out.
