ARGUMENTATION

Am I wrong to say that RJ wanted PJ to become like himself? For 6 years PJ committed several illegalities and at least two murders to find out who killed his wife and daughter, right? RJ wanted to show him, let's call it, 'the dark side'. He wanted to convert him into beeing an extraordinary criminal like himself. And somehow he succeeded, don't you think so? Jane wouldn't care if anybody gets hurt (okay maybe besides the CBI team) if he could get the least information about RJ. The audience loves him because we know what he went through. But if you look at the facts, he's beeing most of all an asshole all over that manipulates and blackmails people the same way RJ does. He's not better than him, except he's not raping and killing people. But in the end PJ is just another criminal that's out for revenge he eventually gets by putting the lifes of a lot of people on the line. Sometimes I believe he doesn't even have guilty conscience while beeing on a rampage for almost 6 years.


P.S.: I don't know who you are, but thanks to whoever suggested 'True Detective'. It's awesome!
