Dude was not “a farmer who is the only one who can fly the ship”, he was a retired NASA pilot (forced into retirement after the government shut down NASA) who became a farmer at a time when a global food crisis was threatening extinction. He was grouchy because farming isn’t his expertise.

It’s fine if you don’t like the type of character though. I love these types of characters played by Matthew McConaughey. His character Rust Cohle in the first season of True Detective is one of my all time favourite characters.

Hard agree, McConaughey was the perfect cast for both.

Well, there's your problem. Woody Harlson was the one that delivered on TD.

Woody Harrelson is amazing, but the reason he’s so good is that he’s a foil for Matthew’s Rust. It’s a 2 person play. Neither character works without the other.
