Reviews

"True Detective" S01 is not just your usual story revolving around the search for a killer and the cat and mouse game followed by it. It's a story of self discovery of two detectives Rust Cohle, a stone cold Nihilist and Marty, an average optimist and how their job affects their personalities and vi

(forgot to review the season as a whole) Easily one of the greatest seasons oat and my favourite. every ep carries the same energy and they are all above 8.5. The action,plot and characters are all amazing and i wish they would’ve made more of this story Top 3 Eps: 1. Form and void (10/10) 2. The

This is easily one of the greatest seasons of television i’ve ever seen. Everything here was incredible from the dialogue, to the plot, to the acting; just good shit all around. Rust Cohle is one of the most fascinating television characters i’ve had the pleasure of seeing. His nihilistic view on

I'd rather watch S01 three times than watch the other two seasons. Still, it's a great show. And that first season, it's a masterpiece

AMAZING season of television and the only one that I've given every ep atleast 4 stars, (and shield s5). Rust Cohle is a t3 protagonist and has the best written dialouge ever imo. Everything in the show is so masterfully crafted and I was able to catch many more details on rewatch. Amazing cast, sou

Creepiest story ever but damm was matthew serving the entire time

True detective is a true masterpiece. To fit so much into 8 episodes, it was just incredible. Each episode was beautiful in its own way. Rust Cohle is an amazing character. He adheres to the philosophy of Schopenhauer, Zapff and other pessimistic philosophers. Time is a flat circle. Marty is a good

The critics were highly praising this season before it came out, I don’t think it was that good but it seems general audiences (especially on this app) seem to hate it, I don’t think it was that bad though, it was in between for me. I think the first episode was great and set up a really interestin

Fantastic dialogue, incredible acting and a overall - - somewhat well paced season. But I did find myself caring more about the characters, instead of the murder mystery aspects. At times I found the complex dialogue and fast-moving - - Plot a little overwhelming. Things got confusing at ti

𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯e-(𝐬𝟏)𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 It took Breaking Bad 62 episodes to achieve television perfection. True Detective achieved it in 8. The first season of True Detective is a masterpiece that everyone needs to watch at least 𝟐 times. At the end of the 8

After an hour of thinking, I’m goin to give this season a very low 5 just because of its creative storytelling and brilliant writing this show has and because it simply deserves it.

Southern gothic bayou bozo Chinatown still just a great idea for a non-liner, unreliably narrated neo-noir pulp paperback, and they've still never managed to replicate the genius casting of these two polar opposite energies of the "bad men" detectives who have just the right amount of dirtiness and

true detective: night CUNTry. Neither faster nor slower, neither better nor worse than the previous Men™ seasons (but this app will never be ready for that conversation). That said, go see Mare of Easttown. Or better yet, go see Broadchurch.

just fucking brilliant. the dialogue, the cinematography, the plot, the pacing, the acting. everything about this is PHENOMENAL. i can not wait to watch this again.

It's alright, a̶l̶r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶, a̶l̶r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶.

Overhated season

The best season 1 that I have seen. Incredible 8 episodes and the ending is amazing. Matthew McConaughey’s acting is unbelievable.

This was not good. For so many reasons. It’s laughably bad at certain points. Please, no more True Detective. It’s over. End this.
