It´s been a very, very long time since i watched any crime solving tv-series. Mainly because most of the new-made tv-shows bored me to hell.

But it was also a matter of good Vs bad scripts and acting. Take Miami Vice for example.

One of the better police/detective shows imo.

That´s a really epic crime solving show imo. And of course, it´s also very important to have good and colorful characters in the show (which Miami Vice had).

But i might just have found a new-made tv-series that fulfills all those criteriums.

I´m talking about HBO´s show “True Detective“, which stars Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey (they play as two Louisiana State Police Detectives).

I mean, not only does True Detective have an average score of 9.5/10 via Imdb.com

It´s also one of the very few tv-shows that i actually wanna watch asap. But i don´t know if True Detective will be aired in Sweden anytime soon, so i´m just going to buy the Blu-Ray version instead.

About True Detective:
In 2012, Louisiana State Police Detectives Rust Cohle and Martin Hart are brought in to revisit a homicide case they worked 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.

Written and created by Nic Pizzolatto (‘The Killing’) and directed by Cary Fukunaga (‘Sin Nombre,’ ‘Jane Eyre’), ‘True Detective’ stars Woody Harrelson as Martin Hart and Matthew McConaughey as Rust Cohle.

The series also stars Michelle Monaghan (‘Mission: Impossible III’) as Maggie, Hart’s wife; Kevin Dunn (‘Veep’) as Major Quesada, the supervising officer in 1995; and Tory Kittles (‘Sons of Anarchy’) and Michael Potts (‘The Wire’) as Dets. Papania and Gilbough, the investigators now probing Hart and Cohle for answers.
