I think you are right about watching them all in a row Asano. The difference between Lost and this show is, Lost made a huge deal out of these little details, promising they all meant something. True Detective never did this. Apparently some of the things fans put together surprised even the writers. Each week, you agonized over details waiting for the next show. In part it helps to know some of the things that the show are based off of. Carcosa and the King of Yellow are actually things that have existed in literature for some time. The King of Yellow was supposedly a play that if you read it, you went insane. I kind of felt the show was doing that to people. We were going insane trying to figure out everything. In the end, the twist was that there was no twist. In many ways it told us everything from the very beginning. We slowly learned who the killers were and why. We are left with some stuff open and some stuff answered. I've read some people say that Rust wasn't hallucinating at all, that he really saw the evil that the family was tapping into in Carcosa. In the end, either way, it doesn't really matter. I enjoyed it. and was happy with the ending.
