“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 at the HBO Television Critics Association event today, network head Michael Lombardo confirmed that there are discussions happening right now, […]
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 […]

In today’s edition of “news we wish was true,” we have a story that related to Jessica Chastain that could have made many fans out there happy. Last week, a rumor was started by Nerdist News that the star of “Zero Dark Thirty” was being considered for one of the lead roles in “True Detective” season […]
Now that the May sweeps are almost over, it is time that we really start to usher in a different sort of TV season: Summer awards shows! They really get going tomorrow with the Billboard Music Awards over on ABC, but there are many more of them that we are going to see play out […]
Some people may find it very annoying that networks are spending so much time jockeying for awards that are in a sense arbitrary forms of validation.
