Rewatched season 1 of True Detective recently and it put me on the search for similar media. I enjoyed The Outsider as well, and recently watched Sharp Objects which was pretty good. Mystic River, Prisoners, and The Name of the Rose are films I liked as well.
I’m interested in novels that can at least match the philosophical depth of the first season of True Detective. I’m not necessarily looking to replicate the same nihilistic themes, but l’m open to it. Elements of the supernatural or religious are a plus but not necessary.
