In 1995 they famously tracked down and killed a couple of cultist child-abductor\/murderers, in 2002 their partnership broke up and in 2012 they&#8217;re being interviewed by a couple of guys &#8211; Michael Potts (Brother Mouzone of <em>The Wire<\/em>) and Tory Kittles (<em>Miracle at St. Anna<\/em>) &#8211; investigating similar murders.<\/p>\n<p>Matty&#8217;s after the powerful people in charge, suspects their involvement in the cult cover-ups, mainly Reverend Tuttle, cousin of the governor.  The interviewers suspect Matty&#8217;s involvement, and the show gives him the usual crazy-investigation den, a storage unit covered in line-linked documents, words and icons.  Ultimately (after driving a couple witnesses to suicide, or more probably well-covered-up homicide) they track down a scarred house painter they missed the first time around and chase him through a stone maze which is apparently a real thing in Louisiana, which is incidentally a state I&#8217;d like to avoid forever.

Written by Louisiana novelist Nic Pizzolatto, directed by Cary Fukunaga (<em>Sin Nombre<\/em>, <em>Jane Eyre<\/em>).  It came highly recommended, but only became a must-see for me when I learned about the Handsome Family open.  I thought this was a miniseries or one-season deal, but apparently not, as the not-as-well-reviewed second season is airing now with a Leonard Cohen open, boo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Woody &#038; Matty show, with the always great Woody Harrelson playing against the newly relevant Matthew McConaughey.
