True Detective Season 1, Episode 5 “The Secret Fate of All Life” features yet another explosive, exciting story that the show has become known for. The classic “unreliable narrator” technique comes back as the episode unfolds, as Detective Martin Hart (Harrelson) discovers something “right under his nose” again. In another sequence, the audience almost steps into the dark mind of Detective Rustin “Rust” Cohle (McConaughey) as we discover what a true detective really is.

Alonso Duralde (Thewrap.com and Linoleum Knife podcast), Adam B Vary (Buzzfeed.com) and Robert Abele (Film critic, Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly) discuss episode 5 of True Detective: “The Secret Fate of All Life” on HBO.
