'True Detective' Reveals Epic Easter Egg Tied To Season 1
"True Detective" dropped an all-time Easter egg during episode two Sunday night on HBO.
The hit mystery series recently returned for season four - titled "True Detective: Night Country" - and I personally really like it.
Opinions are all over the place, but I'm definitely a fan after having been given early access to it. You can read my full review here.
One of the things fans wondered going into the season was whether or not there'd be any ties to previous seasons.
It wouldn't be unheard of. After all, Marty and Rust were briefly shown in a newspaper clipping in season three, and the show teased Rust's history in Alaska with an Instagram post prior to season four premiering.
Theories immediately started circling about if Rust's history might play into season four. While that remains unclear, his dad Travis Cohle was clearly confirmed in the second episode when Rose Aguineau named him.
It's revealed Travis battled leukemia before seemingly killing himself and adding a paranormal element.
What does the "True Detective" Easter egg mean?
Naturally, people are curious about what the connection to season one and the legendary Matthew McConaughey character means moving forward.
Will McConaughey reprise his role as Rust Cohle? Is it possible the man famous for season one returns in some kind of cameo role as the mystery unfolds?
My guess is the creators want everyone to keep watching to find out! As someone who has already watched the entire season, there's not much I can say or will say further that's not already in the review.
I'm not in the business of spoiling TV shows, but what I will say is similar theories were FLYING during season three.
People were convinced Woody Harrelson and McConaughey would make a return. It didn't happen but would have certainly broken entertainment X if it had.
