True Detective Season 1, Episode 6 “Haunted Houses” serves as a calm before the brewing storm of this show, it seems. The episode tells us why Det. Marty Hart ( McConaughey) and Det. Rust Cohle (Harrelson) had a falling out in 2002, as Cohle continues the search for Dora Lange’s murderer, following new leads. The often explosive show took a segue into the more procedural, answering our current plot questions as we get ready for much, much more coming up in the penultimate episode.

Ben Mankiewicze (Turner Classic Movies), Alonso Duralde (Thewrap.com and Linoleum Knife podcast), Brett Erlich (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Robert Abele (Film critic, Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly) discuss episode 6 of True Detective: “Haunted Houses” on HBO.
