This entry isn't anything significant. I just felt like highlighting some of the standout references and homages from the latest season of True Detective. I've shared these on my twitter account but since I'm still shadowbanned, no one really sees them except for the bigger accounts that steal my tweets and passed them off as their own (none of these homages were hard to miss so I'm not that bent out of the shape about people stealing from me). The folks responsible for this season were quite open about their inspirations. All I did was make the comparisons based off of their own words (with a few speculations of my own at the end).
Enjoy...
One of the biggest influences that I ever will have in this genre, and honestly in cinema in general, is SE7EN - Issa Lopez, Deadline.com
