True Detective

This series is getting a ton of hype...it's a police drama with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as the leads for the first season (a whole new cast/story comes in for season 2).

Sundays @ 9PM

Hyped for this.

Also GIRLS. And Shameless.

Even this it's changing the premise every season, I have high hopes for this show or at least this season. McConaughey is fire.

Pretty good premier, seems like it's going to be really good.

[JimLeavy59]

Might be my new show.

So it was just McConaughey saying he wasn't drunk for like an hour, when he was clearly high on LOODZ? #Donny

Got it recorded...I'll watch it at some point this week. Shameless took priority over it.

Must-watch on first run status.

Fell asleep halfway through.. Pretty dialogue heavy thus far. I'll finish it tonight.

Meh. This may be too hardboiled for me.

Personally, I thought it was pretty entertaining!

The premise of switching out lead characters every season sounds very intriguing to me. It seems like now a days TV actors stick with their characters for way too long. It's almost like they (TV Actors) see it as a cash cow they're going to milk for as long as they can, or just wait until they get the "call up to the majors" aka the Movies. Switching out lead roles every season will probably keep the show fresh and prevent it from becoming stale in season three. For once a TV series can finally poach top tier Movie actors!

It's not TV... It's HBO!

Anyway did anyone else feel like they were back in 2008 trying to find Easter eggs/clues in the back ground!?!

I thought it was odd Rust and Mr. Fonteno both had crucifix's above their bed. Also, in the last scene they seemed to make sure Rust posed right in front of a crucifix at the Fonteno house. That and they keep teasing the tattoo on Rust's right arm, which I think is going to maybe be a key piece of insight to his character.

After watching my first episode, I agree with most, very dialogue heavy and character driven. I'll probably have to watch it a second time to pick up on everything! Call me crazy, but I like a crime plot drawn out over the course of an entire season. Never was a fan of the cop dramas that mainly get a case solved in 45 mins like CSI.

If anything this show is a nice change of pace in between Sci Fi/Horror/Fantasy shows I watch like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. I need something to take the place of Breaking Bad, this could be it.

You and every other person who likes good TV think that way. lol

I absolutely loved it. I'm also very intrigued by the possibility of multiple seasons with different characters, especially if the leads are always big name actors.

Agreed.

It would be really cool if they had an over arching story that encompassed the entire series!

They could have previous season Vets make guest appearances that continue this original story line in other seasons.

The possibilities would be endless if this took off. Hell, it could be HBO's superior version of Law & Order, if done right!

It would definitely need a season "cap," though. Like any good show constant good writing would be necessary.

Found myself very attracted to it. I liked it. Seemed dark to me and I like it.

Plus, Woody who was always dang good Imo, is getting better with age,
