TV\u2019s conspiracy buffs run the gamut, and there is certainly no shortage of them. From alien conspiracies to dark philosophical musings, a good conspiracy character is endlessly fascinating and, more importantly, entertaining. The audience is drawn to them whether the character is likable or not. <\/p>\n

If you need further evidence, the real world will happily oblige. Flat-earth theories, moon landing coverups, Area 51, the JFK assassination, QAnon, the Illuminati, government coverups of underground passageways in Antarctica, and so many more that attract millions of followers.<\/p>\n

Suspicious thinking and paranoia are nothing new. In fact, many scientists believe it\u2019s entirely natural, a trait handed down throughout the ages as an old survival mechanism. <\/p>\n

No matter where it comes from, creative minds know how to tap into the paranoid edge of the human consciousness, conjuring characters that are simultaneously fascinating and suspicious of everything. <\/p>\n

Some of TV\u2019s deepest conspiracy buffs are indeed the greatest fictional characters in the history of the small screen.<\/p>\n

The first season of True Detective<\/a> is one of those shows people will hunt down and watch fifty years from now, assuming we consume entertainment in the same way by then. As it turns out, Cohle was mostly correct in his conspiratorial introspection.<\/p>\n

The deep south of Louisiana<\/a>, already a scene of mysticism and old secrets, is the backdrop of Cohle\u2019s investigation. An archaic sense of dark wonder is pervasive throughout the series. If you don\u2019t come away believing in shadowy conspiracies deeply intertwined with the seedy undergrowth of American crime, you\u2019re flirting with a dose of aphantasia.<\/p>\n
