“True Detective” season 2 was promoted as an ensemble show, and one led seemingly by Colin Farrell in the role of Ray Velcoro. He is a man who is clearly haunted by his past and not fully able to escape from his demons; yet, he is a good detective. Unfortunately, on tonight’s episode he may […]
“True Detective” aired its season 2 premiere last week, and for the most part it was a nice assemblage of disconnected scenes. Were there great performances? Sure, but it felt throughout almost like we were spinning our wheels until we made it to the murder of Caspar at the end of the episode. Tonight, the plot […]
Sunday night’s new episode of “True Detective” was a story all about giving us more layers. For example, Ray Velcoro started to realize more than ever the true consequence of his actions, while Frank’s financial situation came to light. He may have once been a criminal, but what he is now is someone just trying […]
Are there positive things ahead when it comes to “True Detective“? Superficially, it probably does not seem that way in the slightest. This is not a show that is dominated in any way by happy moments; more often than not, it is sadness and heartache that reign supreme, and there is not really much of […]
The premiere of “True Detective” may have been polarizing for some, but we do think that there is one thing that is close to universal: Colin Farrell was pretty darn fantastic in the opening episode.

Were most of the cable ratings Sunday night a disappointment? We imagine that much of it depends on how you look at it.

Every week following the end of a “True Detective” episode, we want to bring you at least one more perspective on what transpired over the course of the hour. This should allow for some more reflection, and a chance to analyze a franchise that at least so far is worth analyzing. What we are wondering […]
The second season of “True Detective” has carried with it a wide range of expectations, and while these may not be easy things to temper, we also cannot see anyone involved with the series complaining about it to a certain extent. Isn’t it the best compliment you can ever hope for to have people want […]
“True Detective” season 2 kicked off on Sunday with a story that gave us a very complicated story full of ins and outs and all sorts of intrigue. However, it really did not do much to push the story forward until we made it pretty far into the episode. Judging from social media, we feel […]
If you are like us, then you’ve been waiting for the premiere of “True Detective” for a “long, long time” (to quote the guy from the first season). This is one of HBO’s most critically-acclaimed series, and they have truly kept you waiting for a long time to see just what is going to be […]
