HBO’s New Show Is The Final Chance To Save A 10-Year-Old Franchise After 2 Divisive Seasons

Despite True Detective season 1 receiving critical acclaim when it debuted on HBO nearly 10 years ago, the show’s second and third seasons failed to live up to the high expectations set by the first. Created by Nic Pizzolatto, True Detective is an anthology series that spans multiple decades while following the careers and personal lives of detectives in the United States. While the three available seasons have seen varying degrees of success, the series as a whole features strong writing, acting, and themes.
