It has now been roughly a year since “True Detective” aired on HBO, but we know that there are many people out there still curious as to whether or not this franchise is truly done. We’ve argued that the best thing for the show may be to take some time away (take way people forget about how […]
While there is no evidence as of yet that a “True Detective” season 3 is happening, Matthew McConaughey has made one thing very clear: He’d be fine to revisit the role of Rust Cohle at some point in the future. Speaking in a new interview with Rich Eisen, the actor talked about why he would […]
“True Detective” season 2 was a disappointment. There’s no other way around that. While we do there were some redeeming qualities to the series including performances from both Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams, there was only so much they could do to compensate for a story that was flimsy and self-serious. Do we think that […]
We’re back with another CarterMatt feature for the month of April, and this time around, we’re exploring the concept of what it means to be a Crime TV Hero. What are some of the good traits, and how can these be implemented in future stories? What do these people still have to learn? In this […]
Before we push too far into this new edition of our March Makeovers article series, we should begin with a key admission when it comes to “True Detective”: We still do not know for sure it will come back. While creator Nic Pizzolatto does have a deal at HBO, that doesn’t mean that he will […]
Here is something that you don’t see everyday: A network executive trying to take complete ownership of something that happened with a show.

[…]
We imagine that it is probably no surprise to anyone that Cary Fukunaga has no interest in returning to “True Detective” for another season, but his latest comments on the subject just provide you with that additional bit of verification. Fukunaga (who has since gone on to do “Beasts of No Nation”) was one of […]
There are often muddy waters surrounding many TV awards shows, and the same can be said for the Golden Globes. For example, what is a Limited Series versus a regular series, and what is a lead actor versus a supporting actor? We think all of these are interested in looking at the latest edition of […]
While we cannot say with confidence as of this writing that there will be more of “True Detective” on HBO, we can now at least confirm that the show’s creator is staying put for the time being. Nic Pizzolatto has inked a new deal that will keep him working HBO through at least 2018, and […]
We have to admit now that there are some pitfalls to doing a pre-analysis of Golden Globe nominations in November. Namely, there are some potential nominees for TV Movie / Limited series that we cannot consider yet simply because we have not seen them yet. The one that is really sad to us is “Luther,” which […]
