We have admittedly been more positive than most when it comes to the second season of “True Detective,” if for no other reason than that we feel like the show does have some merits, and the actors are at least trying to do what they can with the material given to them. Even if you […]
It has been pretty clear for a while that “True Detective” has put its characters this season on the edge of a cliff, with it feeling like one wrong step could send them tumbling off the side. Somehow, things became even more intense tonight on “Black Maps and Hotel Rooms” the moment that we saw […]
Tonight, we finally are making it to the finale of “True Detective,” and let’s just hope that by the time this season wraps, we come away from this feeling very satisfied about the journey. We don’t necessarily think the whole “wait until the end before you make an overall assessment of the season” defense, which […]
Given that HBO had its presentation at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour this afternoon, can you really be that stunned that there was talk of “True Detective“?

There is so much else to get to! Yet, at the same time tonight’s “Church of Ruins” contained so many other important character moments […]
Tonight another pivotal episode of “True Detective” season 2 is set to air on HBO, and as we prepare to watch this story unfold we are still left to ponder one very simple question: Are we getting the show we deserve? That’s a modified version of the tagline for this season, but it is hard […]
This past episode of “True Detective” is to us really the first time we really started to see this show once again become what we know that it can be: An intense, intelligent thrilled that causes you to think about the human condition. It is also a series with genuine consequences. On another network crime […]
Five episodes into “True Detective” season 2, and we still have little clue as to why in the world HBO is so desperate to preserve their synopses.
