True Detective: The Long Bright Dark (2014)
Season 1, Episode 1
9/10
Last Year It Was Breaking Bad. This Year It Is True Detective. Both Are Mind Boggling Stuff. ♦ 92%
23 February 2014
That's what I feel after watching the premiere of HBO's latest TV series. I was taken aback by the style, the simplicity, the two lead characters & mostly the people who play them. At the end of the hour, after the final scene delivered so flawlessly by Matthew McConaughey, I decided and set my mind that this year, it is gonna be True Detective. My source of thrills, excitement & revolutionary entertainment.

Nic Pizzolatto has come out of nowhere and delivered a season premiere that is both charming & enigmatic at the same time. Two detectives going around solving a case in 1995 are brought back here in 2012 to talk shop. Why? Find it out yourselves because that is the point where you'll sit back in your swivel chair, if you are going to binge watch like me.

I check out the Wikipedia article and it tells me how every season is gonna have different actors & characters. How immense can it get now?

BOTTOM LINE: 2014 has been a good year for me. True Detective is maybe one reason. Am I using hyperbole?
