When you are a network with the prestige of an HBO, one of the luxuries that you have at your disposal is ultimately an ability to make a number of your own decisions when it comes to developing content. There’s less pressure to put out new seasons of your shows every year, and instead, you […]
While we had not heard anything about a third season of “True Detective” coming to HBO anytime soon, the assumption always was that show creator Nic Pizzolatto was going to come up with something else for the network at some point. After all, he’s too talented a guy to ignore; even if season 2 was […]
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.

Here is something that you don’t see everyday: A network executive trying to take complete ownership of something that happened with a show. Specifically, we are talking about HBO president Michael Lombardo, and his behavior that he feels caused the second season of “True Detective” to become such a disappointment to critics and viewers alike.

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.
