Season 1 is a Masterpiece!!
I have only watched the first season of True Detective and currently do not intend to watch the other two seasons.
Season 1 is absolutely brilliant. Woody Harrelson is great as Marty Hart but Matthew McConaughey shines as Rust Cohle. The story is fantastic. The cinematography is gorgeous. The opening credits are awesome. The balance between the crime investigation and character development on point. This is probably one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.

HBO Gives Update on Mystery Series
By
Tom Reimann
Time is a flat circle, you see.
Image via HBO
We may yet see another season of True Detective, HBO’s pitch-black mystery series about broken detectives caught up in heinous crimes. The famously dormant series has aired just three seasons since it premiered in 2014, but the cable network is reportedly looking to deliver fans another grim-as-all-hell whodunnit sooner rather than later.
In a recent interview with Deadline, HBO and HBO Max’s chief content officer Casey Bloys offered an update on the popular series, which last aired back in 2019:
“It’s safe to say we’re working with a couple of writers to find the right tone and take.
It’s definitely an area that could be very interesting and I think it would be interesting with a new voice. Quality is what’s going to guide us so if we end up with scripts that we don’t feel are representative or are not at a high enough quality, we’re not going to do something just to do it.”
Image via HBO
Bloys’ statement is interesting for a few reasons, most notably that a Season 4 of True Detective will almost certainly not involve series creator Nick Pizzolatto. Pizzolatto wrote the first three seasons of the anthology crime series, but effectively left the show for an overall deal at FX that has stalled in recent months, making him unlikely to return. Bringing on new writers isn’t a bad idea though — as electrifying as Season 1 was, in particular the performances of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, Season 2 struck even the show’s most ardent fans as a boring dud of a follow-up (myself included).
Season 3, which starred Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff, was essentially a course-correction for the series, and while it was much better received, it felt a little formulaic. Personally, I wouldn’t mind if McConaughey returned, if only so that my social media timelines might be blessed with more Rust Cohle memes.

anthology by Nick Pizzolatto
Nick Pizzolatto’s dark cop anthology celebrating the brutal beauty of the American South and characters with dubious moral codes. between 1990s and 2010s, then in the second (less successful) a completely different story awaited us. The mustachioed McConaughey was replaced by the mustachioed Colin Farrell, who plays a dishonest drug addict detective who investigates the sophisticated murder of an official on the basis of a major transport deal. His assistants are a stern female sheriff (Rachel McAdams), a highway patrolman (Taylor Kitsch) and an experienced businessman (Vince Vaughn).
In the third season, the action takes place simultaneously in three time layers: in 1980, in 1990 and in 2015. In 1980, the actual crime happens: police officer Wayne Hayes (Mahershala Ali) and his partner Roland West (Stephen Dorff) investigate the disappearance of two children, a 12-year-old boy and his 10-year-old sister. One day they got on bicycles, left home and never returned.
The action takes place in the limestone plateau of the Ozarks, located simultaneously in several states. Detective Wayne Hayes, along with Arkansas investigator Roland West, try to unravel a mysterious crime spanning three decades.

Description
The most popular and talked about detective series since Twin Picks. Now «True Detective» can already be rightfully considered a classic of the genre. The first season is an action-packed story about partners (Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson) looking for a serial killer in Louisiana. The second is a story about police officers (Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch) investigating the death of a politician. The third, marking the return of the anthology after a long hiatus, again uses the pattern of the first season. In it, aging detective Wayne Hayes (Mahershala Ali) recounts the circumstances of a gruesome murder that occurred at 1
