I just finished up on Season 1. Matt's character was really out there. Existential BS galore. But that was his character. And it tied into the finale as if destiny required it. Crazy. But crazy good.

The theme song, Far From Any Road, fit nicely into the plot toward the finale. Indeed it was far from civilization where the final struggle made its throes. T. Bone Burnett produced the music as it says in the credits. But the song credit actually goes to The Handsome Family. A song they recorded something like 12 years ago.

Anyway, I liked the first season.

I'm not entirely enamored with McConaughey's style of delivery in movies of late. His Texas drawl slurs too many words. Off the set, if he spoke like that he'd have everyone asking him to repeat that last sentence. As in: "What?. Could you say that again, I didn't quite hear you."
I guess it works in front of the camera 'cuz the production can get the mic's close enough to articulate his mumblings.
And the cigarette smoking. Have you ever seen anyone inhale a cigarette that deeply? In this series his character sucks on those cigs as like it was a joint.
Rust quotes:
"This place is like somebody's memory of a town, and the memory is fading. It's like there was never anything here but jungle."

"The newspapers are gonna be tough on you. And prison is very, very hard on people who hurt kids. If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself."

"Death created time to grow the things that it would kill."

"F***, I don't want to know anything anymore. This is a world where nothing is solved. Someone once told me, 'Time is a flat circle.' Everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again. And that little boy and that little girl, they're gonna be in that room again and again and again forever."

"The world needs bad men. We keep the other bad men from the door."

Just a few pearls.
A thoroughly wierd and interesting first season.
