The worst thing about “True Detective” is really pretty simple: It’s a show that only has a eight-episode season. The entire story is told in a short amount of time, and then it is gone until it potentially returns next year with more new episodes. The show’s future is still a little bit uncertain, but […]
Is the President of the free world apparently also the President of many TV fan clubs? It may seem like it, based on this story, which has very quickly flooded the internet over the past several weeks. As a part of a larger piece in the New York Times about the battle between HBO and […]
Last night, “True Detective” offered up what may be one of the greatest episodes of the series so far. As a matter of fact, it may be one of the greatest episodes of any show of the entire year. While there were many great moments in this hour to discuss, almost none of them really […]
There are only three episodes left on “True Detective” before we come to the finale, and we are completely wrapped up in these characters and this mystery. We are staring in the face of the best show since “Breaking Bad.” Every little facet of Sunday night’s “The Secret Fate of All Life” was so well-crafted […]
So far, “True Detective” has woven itself quite a complicated tale of truth, deception, murder, and psychoses, and at the center of it have been two characters who put themselves through the emotional wringer for the sake of (at least in part) justice: Martin Hart and Rust Cohle.

While there may not be a sneak-peek clip of Sunday night’s “True Detective” to share as of this writing, we can at least tell you still that things for the HBO show are going to get very, very interesting. You have likely been wondering when we are going to see more of a connection between the present […]
Tonight’s “True Detective” came on HBO with big expectations, as it had to match the first three that came on earlier this year. Did it succeed? Definitely, though what may surprise you is that the biggest star of the entire episode may be the cinematographer. We’ll start with the negative for this week: We really […]
While “True Detective” has been a pretty brilliant series to this point, one of the few criticisms that we have had of it is that when you look at what is happening in the present day, it really has mostly consisted of just watching Cohle and Hart sit around and recount most of what happened […]
There is some trouble brewing for Martin Hart on HBO’s “True Detective,” and there is also a delightful bit of irony that comes along with it. What are we talking about here specifically? It is largely tied to the notion of what makes a detective “true” in the first place. There is quite a bit […]
There are too many cop shows. There we said it, but “True Detective” is more then just a cop show and digs deeper then just the case Marty and Rust are working on. Just when you think you might have them figured out they throw a curveball at you and you’re left wanting more… and […]
