'True Detective' season 3: How Michael Greyeyes' Brett Woodard uncovers the racism imbibed in the town's social fabric
Contains spoilers for 'True Detective' till episode 4. Tread carefully.
In the quiet little town in Arkansas, the power equation is clear. There are the good old white boys with families and kids, there are educated upper-middle-class colored folks and then there are creatures like Brett Woodard who live on the fringes of the town collecting everyone's trash and just barely keeping their head over the water.
This season of 'True Detective' is mysterious, beautifully written and all the good things that come with it but it also paints a gut-wrenchingly painful picture of racism imbibed in the social fabric. And Brett Woodard, the Trashman as they call him grudgingly, is at the center of it all.
