True Detective Episode 5 Review “If You Have Ghosts”

Episode 5 shocked “True Detective” fans by taking Season 3 back to the quality and power of Season 1 without stealing too much from the HBO series’ origins. We review startling scenes, including The Woodard Altercation, The Press Conference, Julie’s Phone Call, and The Porch Talk.

Is Wayne a horrible man who’s veneer is beginning to crack? Or should we sympathize with a troubled veteran burdened with the sins and shortcomings of those around him? Maybe both.

What happened to officer Harris James? Was he the man Wayne Hays and Roland West alluded to killing? Or was it Tom Purcell?

Big D, King Bee, and Gene Lyons piece it all together. Plus, listeners write in to The Watch with their views on the Hoyt Foods connection, ghosts vs. memories, Roland’s sexuality, and more.

Storyline for “If You Have Ghosts”:
Episode 5: Old friends see each other again after many years and a phone call brings new hope and sadness at the same time. A back pack brings doubt about the supposed killer as his children try to rehabilitate their fathers name.
