'True Detective' season 3 episode 6: Pink castles that lead to old cops

The story leaves you feeling vulnerable in this episode since the characters that we only knew as the suspects have suddenly grown wings and have their own stories to tell.

If you think you've got this season of 'True Detective' figured out - just hold on a minute because I'm absolutely certain you haven't. 

Episode 6, 'Hunters in the Dark' saw the case take a dark and disturbing turn. It's not that we hadn't expected that to happen but somehow, peering from behind the eyes of Wayne Hays and Roland West made it feel a whole lot safer. However, the story leaves you feeling vulnerable and exposed in this episode since the characters that we only knew as the detectives' suspects have suddenly grown wings and have stories of their own to tell the world. From Tom Purcell to Lucy to Amelia, the characters take charge of their narratives in this episode and they are some painfully realistic stories.
