Written by Nic Pizzolatto (The Killing), the first season of True Detective will center on a pair of detectives, Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) and Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey), who end up crossing paths on a 17- year hunt for a serial killer deep within Louisiana. The series will feature a split narrative jumping between when the case first opens back in 1995, and the present when the two detectives are testifying in court after the case is reopened.

S03 is a mess. " The whole Season 3 is just like Season 2, a total waste of HBO's time and money to produce such bad-worse-worst TV drama series in TV production history. "
Where are all the S02 episodes?
Why is there no episode 3x02 yet?
This seems completely borked
@Krizzii No. January 13.
Aired 11 hours ago? Right...
Season 1 was brilliant. Season 2 was watchable, but slow, boring and pretty pointless for me.
I would've never guessed that the same people that wrote Season 1 also wrote Season 2 if I didn't know. Season 2 was just so...lazy. An abundance of cliches and bad writing.
s2 honestly felt like a parody of itself. like, dreamy, silly sounding dialogue /can/ work, but only if the cast pull it off. everyone this season pretty much struggled with the material - not that the material was all that great to begin with.
Well this was a very underwhelming season, plot was too convoluted without being that clever or interesting, poor Vince Vaughn was clearly miscast and given some of the worst lines ever, in a season that had generally cringe-worthy dialogues. Directing was also a big step down from season one (that slow-mo on Ray's death... is this 1993?).
Pizzolatto probably rushed to write this when he must have took years to write season one, and clearly McConaughey and Fukanaga were essential in making it all work.

Wondering how True Detective can possibly top itself with season 2... I'm so PSYCHED!
1st one was slow but very good
The 2nd one looks like it will be much better
Woody and Matthew much better than Vince / Colin

*with even more mediocre actors*
lol what
Great acting and great actors for sure, but that can not cover up the unstandable slowness of the story. Fell asleep a couple of time. If that is not you intention you should propbaly watch something else...
Looks like season two is going to be the exact same thing except with even more mediocre actors despite the fact that they said this season would have female leads. Ridiculous.
"Virtually every episode of Southland is SO much better than this." Stopped reading here, ridic.
