The HBO series, says Teo Bugbee, “went from being the bro-iest show on TV to being the campiest in the span of one season. Has this ever happened before? Did the Supreme Court rule this too? ‘Gay marriage, and also Taylor Kitsch is going to play a (spoiler) with mommy issues on True Detective, now deal with it.’ Rachel McAdams’s name is Antigone Bezzerides, and she delivers every line like she knows how annoying that is.
