Others in my family like this twisted, evil and dark show. I guess, many times, people are drawn to the evil that happens in society. It seems to have a “hold” on some people and a fascination with other people.
Interesting.
The show, which I did like, was about a detectives “worldview” and his philosophy which had been formed by the death of his young child and the evil he had witnessed as an undercover narcotics agent.
Detective Cohle’s philosophy was of pure Nihilism. “Humans are a mistake in evolution, that gave them self-awareness and the illusion of free-will”.
BTW, this is not what I derived from his character, it’s what he said. I didn’t think I was going to watch this series at first, but when I heard him state his philosophy, I knew this show was going to be different.

No God and certainly No satan.
In the end, he was forced to recognize and accept Satan as a real force and in turn, God.
“Others in my family like this twisted, evil and dark show.”
See, I don’t see it that way. There are things in the show that are dark and evil, but that doesn’t make the show itself dark and evil. After all, there are even dark and evil things depicted in the Bible!
Good art is going to reflect the reality we live in, and that reality is not always happy and nice.
