True Detective Season 1

Brutal, twisting, and enthralling neo-noir

There’s so much to love about this series- the ambiance, the lore, the impeccable acting and character development, poetic writing, and a scary good mystery to boot. This season is a masterclass in neo-noir crime drama, with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey in the lead roles. Themes of religion, philosophy, power and control, and humanity run through every episode to form a type of frame for the show. If you enjoy other titles like Fargo, Mare of Easttown, Mindhunter, or Twin Peaks you might enjoy True Detective.
