“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. 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. 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 […]
Once again, we are sitting here on a Sunday, awaiting some sort of news regarding what a third season of “True Detective” could be. The problem at the moment is that there is no official confirmation yet that a season 3 is happening. HBO is keeping quiet, to a certain extent understandably so given that […]
We’re going to try to bring you periodic updates on all things “True Detective” throughout the coming weeks … even if some of the rumors are so ridiculous that they have us shaking our heads – which is precisely what we are bringing you today. According to HollywoodLife, former “Vampire Diaries” star Nina Dobrev is interested […]
