True Detective

description

True Detective is an American anthology crime drama television series created and written by Nic Pizzolatto. The show premiered on January 12, 2014, on HBO, and it has three seasons, each consisting of eight episodes. The series is set in Louisiana and follows two detectives, Rustin Cohle and Martin Hart, as they investigate a series of gruesome murders.

The show has received critical acclaim for its writing, cinematography, and performances, particularly those of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in the first season. True Detective has been praised for its unconventional storytelling, nonlinear narrative, and use of philosophical themes. The first season in particular has been noted for its exploration of existentialism and nihilism.

True Detective has been compared to other popular crime dramas such as The Wire, Breaking Bad, and Fargo. It has also been noted for its use of the anthology format, which allows each season to tell a self-contained story with new characters and settings. While the second season was met with mixed reviews, the third season received critical acclaim and was seen as a return to form for the series.

Breakout Kings

Crime & Thriller
Hiring former fugitives to assist the U.S. Marshals with cleaning up the mean streets sounds like a far fetched idea but it works, at least on Breakout Kings. After all who would know better how to outwit the bad guys than former criminals themselves? They don't get off scott free exactly but do receive time off their sentences for aiding in the capture of crooks and as they get one month off their sentence for each criminal they help apprehend it makes sense that they work hard for their eventual release. Most of the "cons" do appreciate the opportunity to reduce their jail time and even get enthused with the prospect of turning over bad guys themselves. Charlie Duchamp (Laz Alonso from Fast & Furious, Avatar) is head of the task force and a previous member of the Criminal Program Analysis Department. A heart ailment kept him tied to his desk job but he still manages to break records getting the criminals reined in. Ray Zancanelli (played by Domenick Lombardozzi from Public Enemies, Miami Vice) lost his Marshals job due to a theft conviction. He works well with the criminal set because he knows the territory so well. Brooke Nevin (Sherman's Way, Infestation) is Julianne Simms, student of law enforcement who has mental issues keeping her from her full potential. This "mixed bag" of law enforcers work well together, keeping criminals in line most of the time.
