True Detective was one of the year’s best shows (second, specifically!), as thrilling as it was well-acted. But when most people think of the HBO series, they’ll recall two scenes: the stunning tracking shot and the famous Daddario scene. With apologies to Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief fans, it was her introduction to the world, and Obama’s introduction to her. True Detective, great show; that episode, GREAT scene.
It’s a “Watch It for the Plot” moment, which we’ve covered before. Here are some of 2014’s finest WIFTP scenes, including some quality shows and movies, and The Other Woman.
