TV show description:
This anthology show features a different cast of characters and storyline for each season. The series begins in 2012 and follows two former Louisiana State Police Detectives as they are brought in to revisit a homicide case they worked on in 1995.
As the inquiry unfolds in present day through separate interrogations, the two former detectives narrate the story of their investigation, reopening unhealed wounds, and drawing into question their supposed solving of a bizarre ritualistic murder in 1995. The timelines braid and converge in 2012 as each man is pulled back into a world they believed they’d left behind. In learning about each other and their killer, it becomes clear that darkness lives on both sides of the law.
Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) transferred out of Texas law enforcement. A cerebral, intense thinker, he holds a negative view of society which sometimes puts him at odds with his partner and the rest of the force.
Rust’s partner is Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) and the more conservative of the pair. While he may not always understand Rust’s methods, he respects his partner’s commitment to police work and runs interference between Rust and their commanding officer.
Marty has two daughters with his wife, Maggie (Michelle Monaghan), a nurse at the local hospital. Intelligent and outspoken, her instincts are as sharp as her husband’s. They met in college.
Major Ken Quesada (Kevin Dunn) was the detectives’ the supervising officer in 1995.
Detective Maynard Gilbough (Michael Potts) and Detective Thomas Papania (Tory Kittles) are the investigators probing Hart and Cohle for answers in the present.

What do you think? Do you like the True Detective TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
Need another season – new actors – new shows. Must have more
Fascinating, riveting show…..can hardly wait to see more! Keep it coming!
Renew !!!! Love the show.
Season 2 was excellent considering you had 4 big names you’re following within the story unlike season 1 you only had 2 big names and the viewpoint of 2 characters. I thought both seasons were great in their own element.
In Season 1 and only season 1 – I rated this 5 stars out of 5 total stars. The acting was so believable I began to feel like I’d entered a new reality, *(not to be confused with lame reality shows). The 2 actors playing the lead roles were purebred in form. It takes enormous talent to convince these people are virtually real persons. Matthew McConaughey who plays Rust Cohle blows me away in his portrayal of this character. The same can be said of Woody Harrelson who plays Marty Hart. Detective Hart is a fascinating character and Harrelson really… Read more »
Plz. renew. Love Love Love it
How about some info on the “new” True Detective, starting in June 2015?
HELL NO…..keep the show going it was terrific I love Matthew McConahay and Woody Harrelson !!!!!!!! Keep the show going!!!!!! Any misspelling blame it on Siri
Yea, man…. I loved Season 1; Season 2 was a bust. Season 1 is a solid 5 star out of 5! Absolutely fantastic acting with a pedigree performance by the two leads: Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. These two guys are so believable in their character parts I often felt like it was some sorta “virtual world” and hard to tell if my world was real. That’s quality programming from HBO. Yea, you GO guys… You rock my world with this class act! I loved Season 1 and was pleased to see they were nominated for so many awards, including… Read more »
