True Detective Season 2 Episode 6
This is probably the best episode so far.
Almost every scene sweats distilled tension almost as pure as the MDMA that Bezziredes took at the sex party.
It opens with a staring contest over coffee.
Not only does Semyon never once back down during the talks, he barely backs up.
And what a schpiel.
Semyon lays it out from the beginning.
Velcoro was waiting to sell his soul in a buyers market.
A young cop who thought he was Superman but needed Lex Luthor to set him free.
Velcoro was a great bad cop, if only hed own it.
Along with the tension, this episode also delivered on the humor.
But tonight everyone indulges in gallows humor.
Bezziredes even has a go at slapstick.
But Frank gets the best lines of the night.
Semyon never deals from the bottom of the deck, though.
He is as straight up an enemy as youd want to have.
Semyon doesnt dazzle with guile.
Its the corporate guys hiding sensitive footage caught on security hard drives you gotta watch.

Velcoros prison visit was menacing and masterful.
Paul Woodrough follows the diamonds to the April 30, 1992 riots in LA.
Of course, some lootings are great covers for bigger crimes.
Semyon and his wife pay a mourning call to Stans wife.
He gives rough but pragmatic advice.
He knows where that kids been and where hes going and is there with his full support.
But he parties like its 1999.
Those lines arent for fun or forgetting, they are a passive aggressive suicide bid.
Bezziredes drug of choice is adrenaline.
Pure liquid Molly tends to bring out repressed memories of abuse.
The abuse obviously happened at her fathers compound and somehow involved a certain psychiatrist pimp and an older man.
Bezzerides might speak with a Russian accent, but you dont need a universal translator to read her expression.
Maybe thats what turns him on.
It must take every ounce of self-restrain Bezziredes has just getting to the exclusive sex party.
The bag-collector on the bus warns her do not be arguing, bitch.
The rescue scene was very reminiscent of the last few minutes of Martin ScorsesesTaxi Driver.
Bezziredes is Travis rescuing the pretty little girl to bring home to her sister.
She promised that anyone who touched her without and invite would bleed out in the second episode.
Hands down, this is the best episode so far in a series thats apparently still warming up.
Church in Ruins was written by Nic Pizzolatto and Scott Lasser and directed by Miguel Sapochnik.
