TRUE DETECTIVE: The Hidden Importance Of Pete Prior's Ending

I review, breakdown and explain True Detective Night Country. I discuss Season 4's ending, how it connected to the spiral symbol and why Pete Prior's final scene embodied the phrase 'Time is a flat circle'. I react to his connection to Rust Cohle, Season 1, Liz Danvers, Evangeline Navarro, Hanks Death and what happened to him after the show finished.

Do you think that the finale of season 4 deserves to be the lowest rated in the shows history? Let me know your thoughts below!

[MA.]

When Clark sputtered “Time is a flat circle” I knew Reddit was exploding at that exact moment.

I thought the season was great. I think most thing were explained. I always go back to Rose regarding ghosts and when they come to you. Navarro mother trying to communicate with her, Julia’s being mental illness. In case of Liz she used the white noise to silence them. Remember the refrigerator seen when she thought she heard something. Almost everyone shedded their trauma in the past. I think Navarro sent out into the snow to find out who she was once she received her real name. Also I think Pete’s wife new what happened at the research center because of the laundry mat and the ladies going there.

When Hank said for the last time "Remember, blood is blood", it always felt to me that it was more of an ominous threat: that Pete's wife and son would abandon him too, just like his father ended up alone. In a sense, that history would repeat itself, because it is in their genes, no matter what Pete was trying to do to improve in his life.

[marymenatti]

The relationship didn’t change. His father forced his son to kill him. He was deeply hurt that Peter honored his vocation over “Blood”.

[mattyrat]

I enjoyed the season as a whole but i knew by episode 4 that unless the finale was going to be 2+ hrs long, it wasn't going to cut it.

[mariozhivago]

I think it was great. We can't Compare to s1 which isn't fair. But def the most talked about since s1

[theodore]

Appreciate the work you put in for this season, as well as all the other shows and movies you cover

[Gigi_Endersby]

This was brilliant. Yes, Pete’s story has stayed with me.

[helldog]

It started off pretty good, then completely flatlined. The ghost images really didn't go anywhere. Unnecessary flashbacks. And who placed the tongue on the floor. And the scientist committed murder over bacteria. Pete was getting bullied each episode before he killed his father. Overall, this could have been good, but it seems that the writers forgot what they were writing about.

I don’t have the love affair w/S1 & I don’t have an idea of what it means to be a ‘True Detective’ in that world. But I do have a very high regard towards Peter & the actor was great. He is the product of an abusive relationship: Hank was not a good dad & a corrupt cop. Peter shot him b/c he was about to commit murder just after murdering Ottis. As a policeman, Peter did the right thing. He needs to find comfort or acceptance in that, but it will always be a part of him.
When you / others say Peter was the TRUE Detective, my reaction is that you / others minimize what Dancers & Navarro did to solve the murders. They all did their part.

I look forward to the next season. It occurred to me watching this video that it may be about Peter, in the future, having to solve a murder mystery w/all the emotional baggage from this season.

[PhylHays]

Finally! That scene made the entire season unfold as a precursor to Pete "becoming Rust". I doubt we've seen the last of him.

[kellykelley]

This is the best finale after S1. It was brilliant. - If you want to know what I think happened to Navarro - watch The Matriarch - Hulu * she is not alive - she went home - Sedna - also I am fine with the "circle" being something else - as it is in life - celts - druids - etc. have used the circle since the beginning of civilizations - meaning the "circle of life" - Traffickers and other dark players distorted the symbol - the Easter Eggs were just that - Easter Eggs.

[Whimsicalbrainpan]

People forget that the ending of Season 1 was divisive as well.

[mdonohue]

The hawaii cup is the same cup navarro gives danvers when she warms her up. The hawaii cup

[gerardojg]

IMO, it was a retelling of biting the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Pete was an innocent, pure intentions absent malice. Danvers and Navarro were executioners because both were malicious in understandable ways. Pete learned the truth and brought light to the shared sin for everyone else to learn. Pete found himself having to choose as a direct result of his discovery and everyone else's. Hank was corrupt. The patricide was taking the bite. Afterwards, his innocence was lost and shared the sin with them both. No innocents left. He was the most compelling character.

[patanne]

I loved season 4. The two female leads played well together and Pryors character was very genuine to me.

[TheFantasticFox]

I thought the season was great. I really liked the final reveals about the deaths of the scientists, the confession, and Annie’s murder, but I did have a lot of questions that weren’t answered. The callbacks to S1 could have been seen as a solid storytelling tool, but I was disappointed that we didn’t get answers, e.g. the weird stuff in Clark’s trailer with the spiral overhead. I wish there had been better resolutions to the unanswered mysteries. That said, I was really invested in the story and many of the characters, especially Evangeline, Pete, Qavvik and Rose. Great performances all round. Despite the overwhelming number of unanswered questions, I still loved this season and was fascinated by the story along the way. And yes, I think Pete exemplified the True Detective of S4. I was so happy he didn’t die! 😅😂❤

[philipjeanmard]

Wow. This is THE best review of TD:NC I’ve viewed since the finale. Keep up the good work BP! NO, the finale didn’t answer enough questions but it was still better than 5.4

[shawnintheclouds]

Great video. Thank you for shining a light on this character. He did remind me of Rust in many ways. The way he walked and stood and other mannerisms. His face was shaped like Rust Cohle too. But when we first met Pete, he was innocent and not yet encumbered with the weight of what he was about to go through and what he would do and have to live with for the rest of his life. What a shocker it was when he shot his dad! He was one of my favorites and interesting. I loved Rose too.
