True Detective is a new take on an American anthology crime drama.

Season 1's narrative unfolds through 2 distinct time periods. These timelines are interwoven as the case's detectives − now-retired Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) − describe in real-time the harrowing investigation that altered their lives forever.

Season 2 doubled down on the heavy and somewhat cryptic dialogue, but this time around it was a little harder to chew despite the efforts of its all-star cast that included Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams and Vince Vaughan.

Season 3 is widely considered a return to form with Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali leading the cast.
