Colin’s hairy homage to Nietzsche
SEASON Two of True Detective arrives on Sky Atlantic in June, with Colin Farrell as a compromised detective and Vince Vaughn as a criminal entrepreneur. Can the second series match the intense, Louisiana-shot Season One, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson? Farrell’s moustache for the role also prompts comment. While not as bushy, it’s seen as a homage to philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, whose pessimistic ideas about humanity inspired Season One of True Detective. Created by Nic Pizzolatto, the show is described unkindly as ‘Nietzsche for dummies’.
