Welcome to the world of modern media, otherwise known as the world of reading way too much into almost every little thing or headline that comes out. The latest comes via FX head John Landgraf, who somehow got misinterpreted while talking about HBO’s “True Detective.” Speaking at TCA recently, Landgraf (in our mind one of the greatest […]
In closing off TCA this weekend, the 2014 awards ceremony provided at least a few surprises. You had a network show winning Outstanding Achievement in Drama, a show on ABC Family taking home a trophy, and also a reality show with a tiny but loyal following dethroning “The Amazing Race” and other warriors. You can […]
Yesterday, the news came out that the HBO series was in deep discussions with Colin Ferrell about him taking the lead role on the show, which clearly paid big dividends for both Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson when they did it earlier this year. (Just look at the Emmy nominations.) Now, The Wrap reports that […]
“True Detective” certainly could have gone the safe route in trying to cast their next leading man, but they certainly aren’t doing that per the newest reports that are out there. According to Entertainment Weekly, Colin Ferrell (who you’ve probably seen in a dozen or so things over the years) is close to signing a […]
For those who have been tortured by the long wait for some news on “True Detective” season 2 casting, take some solace now. After all, we are hearing that the wait is almost over.

While we know that the majority of the headlines out there right now related to “True Detective” have to do with the acting side of the things, there is just as interesting a debate right now when it comes to directors. Last year, the show had the luxury of being directed by one man only […]
We feel almost bad in a way for Nic Pizzolatto for the way scrutiny was leveled on him before scripts for the upcoming second season of “True Detective” were even turned in. There was so much pressure to make the main character or characters either a woman or someone different than Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson […]
While “True Detective” may be a fantastic show, it is looking more and more like one that is going to have a specific end date in mind. Creator Nic Pizzolatto was one of the special guests this past week at the Banff World Media Festival, and one of the subjects that inevitably came up was the […]
One of the joys of “True Detective” was that it was one of those series that was strictly honest. It was billed as an eight-episode event, and while there is going to be another season of it, it is not tied directly into the original. You had a chance to watch this show, and know […]
For the upcoming second season of “True Detective,” it appears as though the show is not going to be taking the same measures at all to equal the tone and feeling of the first one. Rather than just giving you the same show or the same setting, you better prepare for something that will feel […]
