@FilmCritHULK HULK's essay on True Detective really resonated w/ me -- like everything you write-- but I still think the show was sexist :(

@FilmCritHULK say something meaningful about sexism. show was incredible and I'd rather have shows like this than something more sterile. -
@Parasoxx HULK TOTALLY GETS YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS, BUT HULK WOULD ARGUE THAT THE LANGUAGE OF THE SHOW WASN'T ACTUALLY ABOUT UPSETTING OR
