This Game of Thrones/True Detective mashup is really well-done
True Detective?has had an interesting trajectory. The first season of HBO’s moody mystery drama was critically acclaimed, with excellent performances from leads Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson and a twisting, magnetic story that kept viewers hooked until the very end. And then the second season was a pile of nonsense. Wax and wane.
One thing everyone can agree on is that the opening credits for the first season are really, really cool.?With the third season of?True Detective?around the corner, now’s the perfect time to watch YouTube’s own Robin Lindqvist’s mashup of the those credits with?Game of Thrones, another show with an iconic opening sequence. Let it roll:
I love this. How about the bit when the unfurling Stark flag covers Theon’s left eye? Or the image of Bran with tears of blood and his mouth torn open? Is credit due to?Game of Thrones??True Detective? I’ll just split and difference and sing praises to?Robin Lindqvist.
True Detective?season 3 kicks off on January 13. With a few years between seasons and Oscar-winner?Mahershala Ali in the lead role, I’m hoping it will be a return to form for the series. And if we get a trailer for the final season of?Game of Thrones?after one of the episodes, all the better.
