Really liked this first ep, everything about it, the way it was shot, acting, story etc.

I think MM started digging around the area for related cold cases in earnest when they went to Lester Freamon and he recognized the stick teepee thing from the scene as something his Aunt taught kids to make from his childhood. It was some kind of voodoo or whatever so MM assumed a geographic component was more likely, which then led him to the girl.
ok thank you that makes some sense.
for the life of me I couldn't figure out how they connected a 5+yr old missing child case with their crime as they seemingly had nothing in common.
I do remember that billboard being prominently featured n if it had no relevance would be somewhat of a chekov's gun.
I can tell this show is gonna get better with repeated viewings.
really wish HBO would just release the entire season at once on demand n on HBO GO. esp since they don't seem to care about ratings since they are subscription based.
