The type of twisted sociopathic yet functional derangement which humanity has to more regularly deal. The kind that can not be eradicated by sheer force, because it is less a freak aberration than a manifestation of poor social conditioning upon a susceptible mind.

In True Detective the same symptoms of chaos appear, but even more frighteningly and more potently, they appear within the protagonists themselves. Both Marty and Rust are their own worst enemies, and the true conflict of the show is not between them and the perpetually mysterious criminal, but between them and their own demons. This is a much more mature, nuanced, existential, and universal struggle. For we can not arrest one portion, one segment of ourselves. Everyone must cope constantly with a multifaceted nature and the unpredictable circumstances of our lives which might too easily drive us to personal failure.

As True Detective progresses we watch the protagonists slowly descend into the palliative salve of alcohol and their repeated attempts at redemption via women, sex, and cathartic violence. None of which work to bring stability to their lives. It’s a downward slope for both, episode by episode, and the crux of the show is our collective witness to this tortuous fall into anger and hated. From the beginning, Rust appears to be emotionally irredeemable, due to his exceedingly deep cynicism borne of past trauma. While it becomes increasingly evident that Marty is also doomed to failure by existing in a near constant state of denial about his personal troubles and moral failings.

In the fundamentally more light-hearted Adventure Time, the characters’ internal struggles are often dealt with as an expression of exterior plot elements, rather than the slow broiling conversations of two cops driving around the deep south questioning suspects and bickering at each other.
