True Detective (2014– )
Haunting, beautiful, and nihilistic. One of the best mysteries I've ever seen!
13 March 2014
(Season 1) "True Detective" is a masterfully told whodunit that follows two very different detectives as they track a satanic killer over the course of 17 years. The first season of "True Detective" may just be the greatest mystery/thriller I've ever seen...on film or television. Much of the high praise goes to the acting (McConaughey is amazing!) and the mesmerizing cinematography. I'd put "True Detective" above Fincher's "Zodiac" and "Seven", and Mann's "Manhunter". Hell, even the opening credits are hypnotizing and beautiful! The first half of the season is slightly better than the second, but the entire series is an edge of your seat thrill-ride. Some viewers saw the finale as a letdown but I felt it was believable, realistic, and brought closure to the characters. This series deserves Emmy and Golden Globe love! It's an addictive show and I suggest watching them consecutively over a couple nights. A dark, brooding, and thrilling series.

On a smut note, you get to see Michelle Monaghan in a thong and Alexandra Daddario (Texas Chainsaw 3-D) has a full nude sex scene! And why do users review a series after watching only a single episode? That drives me nuts! Watch the entire season before you comment on a show. It's a story that's going to be told over the course of weeks and months...wait to see how it ends before you praise or bash it.
