I loved this series when it first came and and relished it again many years later. Great acting from all involved.

True Detective -"Main-lining the secret truths of the universe"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a spellbinding series starting with the first note of the Handsome Family's opening Southern gothic song "Far from any road", to the excruciatingly tense last episode. "True Detective" amounts to the greatest binge television event of 2014 leaving the viewer begging for more. This reviewer stayed in the house on the hottest day of the year glued to screen and sweating profusely after watching 5 episodes in a row. A week later Disc One was back in the DVD to watch it all again. Every now and then a series comes to the screen where all the working parts are in prime condition and its cast list so perfect that to suggest a potential tweak would be a form of sacrilege.

On the surface the plot is a humid New Orleans noir thriller around a lengthy search for a serial killer full of looming violence, warped relationships, shadowy cops, twisted elites and derelict plantations. This is not a visual shocker indeed its brilliant writer Nic Pizzolatto admitted that he had "literally no interest in serial killers, no interest in trying to shock or gross people out with portrayals of gore". In every sense the show is far more concerned with bigger themes of the human condition and our individual meagre impact in universal terms. The monologues in the series on human nature and existence, time and space, love and morality and the possibility of forces of light and evil are a source of sheer genius.

At the heart of "True Detective" are two master actors who both have their roots in comedy. Woody Harrelson has come a long way since the dimwitted saint "Woody" of the Cheers Bar. Here he is a deeply flawed macho "good ole boy" with good heart and traditional southern sensibilities. He plays Martin Hart a family man but a philanderer, he cannot abide questioning of God but he is not religious, he is driven by alcohol and a liar to his family. Harrelson's portrayal is rock solid and in any other series he would dominate proceedings. And yet by his is side in a dysfunctional cop partnership is "Rust Cohle" played by Matthew McConaughey. Quite when McConaughey blossomed from a rather average rom-com staple to one of America's greatest actors is hard to pinpoint. His performances in "Mud", "The Wolf of Wall Street" and his peerless lead in the "Dallas Buyers Club" have revealed an acting giant. Here as Cohle he is a crime fighting Nietzsche with a Southern drawl to die for and the torment of being an hallucinating insomniac far to clever for this world. He dominates the screen with such charisma that its difficult to part your gaze. The dialogue between Cohle and Hart is a masterclass of scriptwriting. It is often humorous, sometimes profound and perfectly executed. At one point Cohle tells Hart about his nihilistic view of the human predicament stating that "maybe the honourable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight - brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal." He is a master interrogator of witnesses and casually informs a women confessor that "The newspapers are gonna be tough on you. And prison is very, very hard on people who hurt kids. If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself." It is difficult to convey the force of Cohle's words and that is because they must be heard passing through the lips of the superb McConaughey.

Around these two actors are a superb cast and a particular mention should go to the impressive Michelle Monaghan as Hart's long suffering wife. Another star also present is the Louisiana landscape, the spooky Spanish moss, the boarded-up houses, the roads seemingly heading nowhere and the sub cultures of voodoo and carnival. Finally this is all topped off with T Bone Burnett's marvellous soundtrack ranging from artists like Lucinda Williams to Grinderman. There was once a time when it was cinema which advanced the art of form through the visual screen with brilliant directors like Scorcese, Cimino, Copella and Lucas. Today it is television and particularly the cutting edge network commissioning of HBO that rules the roost. They should be congratulated once again for "True Detective" is utterly magnetic television.

Louisiana, deer's antlers and a serial killer!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 September 2014

Verified Purchase

Set in Vermillion Parish, Louisiana, this series present two Homicide Detectives, Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) and Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) investigating mysterious disappearances from 1995 to 2012. Starting with the murder of prostitute Dora Lange, Hart and Cohle are puzzled by the crime scene: the victim has been blindfolded, crowned with deer's antlers and her body arranged as if she was praying in front of a tree.
Cohle soon understands it is the work of a serial killer; however, the two Detectives are confronted to a constant erasing of clues, either from Nature (hurricanes, overabundant vegetation, closeness of water...) or from human interaction (drugs dealers, interfering politicians, corrupted religious leaders). Also, the two Detectives' opposite personalities make their investigation difficult: Hart is the hypocritical family man unable to resist chasing skirts whereas Cohle, intelligent but broken, cannot recover from the accidental death of his baby daughter and the use of drugs during a previous undercover mission. A major falling-out in 2002 will separate the two men, only to be reunited after having been interviewed by Detectives Thomas Papania (Tory Kittles) and Maynard Gilbough (Michael Potts): Hart and Cohle will join forces again to stop the serial killer, even at the cost of their lives...
A very good series, with an intelligent plot and a set of fantastic male actors. However, writer Nic Pizzolatto has failed in creating strong female characters. The only women are stereotypes that can be found in any other cop TV show: prostitutes, stripers, empty-headed girlfriends, fed-up cop's wife... Michelle Monaghan as Maggie Hart is boring and her scene of revenge sex with her husband's partner is of the poorest taste. One can only hope Nic Pizzolatto will create a strong female character for the second series of True Detectives!

A Real Masterpeice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2014

I'm gonna just throw this out right now. This show is some of the best I've ever seen. Everything from the acting to writing was simply masterful. Although as some more critical reviews have stated this show starts rather slow without having a real action scene until like 4 or 5 episodes in. However SLOW is the correct word, BORING is not. Not even for a second were my eyes not glued to the screen during this show. I was simply mesmerized by everything in this show.
Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson star in this show and both give some of the best and most intense performances I've seen, both inside TV shows and out. I knew McConaughey would be superb having seen Dallas Buyers Club and Mud about a month before starting this show. Harrelson on the other hand I had NO idea of how brilliant an actor this man is! I'd only seen him in Zombieland and in the Hunger Games movies. He was great in both of those, but I was concerned he would feel inferior to McConaughey. This is not the case, Harrelson holds his own and then some!
I bought this for £23 as I waited for it to lower as I considered £30-£40 too high for eight episodes. However after seeing this I can tell you even £40 is worth it. This is the first show besides Game of Thrones I'd consider a masterpiece.
I will say this: Do NOT watch this show if you are not mature enough to appreciate the themes and subtlety in the dialogue. This show is incredibly mature. And I'm not just talking sex and violence (Which this show does have a fair bit of) I'm talking seriously mature.
