Episode 11 was the spoiler, and while they alluded to Frank's fancy pants past, no, I had no clue that one was coming down the pipes. Pun intended.
The final couple of episodes were just exhilarating as far as television goes. Lots of emotional ups and downs as you waited to see how things would play out. I tried watching the first episode of the original and was bored to death. Fincher and Spacey are absolutely making this show what it is. The acting is just superb by most of the major players.

While I LOVE having access to all of it at once, there is something to be said for having to wait for episodes.
For example, I'm having a ton of fun reading about, discussing, and analyzing every tiny bit of "True Detective". And that keeps the "buzz" on the show high for a longer period of time.
With this "all at once" format, nobody knows where anyone else is. You can't talk about it much, for fear of spoilers. Sure, you can talk after you know they've seen it all, but it's just not the same.
