True Detective: Series of the Year

HBO Defined is up with an exclusive crime drama series called 'True Detective'. The series is quite exciting because of a couple of reason. The topmost among them is the plot of the series which is totally gripping.

Are you into typical crime drama? Yes! Then, get ready to hail ‘True Detective’. This series is created by HBO. And as HBO is quite famous for its HBO Original series, critics have high hopes for this series. But we don’t have to wait a lot for that as this series is soon getting premiered in January 2014.

Anyway, if I get to review the series as per the story, plot, et al, I would definitely give it a clear 8 out of 10. The best judge of any movie or series is the plot. And if you see the plot of this series, you’ll find quite an interesting story. This series focuses on the lives of two detectives, Rust Cohle and Martin Hart. These detectives are after a serial killer for 17 years now. This hunt is the major focus. Though the series will be presented as anthology drama series where every season features a different cast of characters and story. 

The role of Rust Cohle is written by Matthew McConaughey and Martin Hart by Woody Harrelson. Both the actors are quite a charmer... also not to forget their acting talent. McConaughey has done many an awesome movies like ‘The Wedding Planner’, ‘Ghosts of Girlfriends Past’, ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ and the latest one ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’. Even Harrelson has shown his talent already in flicks/series like ‘Natural Born Killers’, ‘The Hunger Games’, ‘Now You See Me’, et al. And these two actors make quite an amazing cast. 

Apart from an amazing star cast, the series is portrayed as quite mysterious. If you read the tagline ‘Man is the cruellest animal’, it says a lot about the mystery effect of the series. And honestly, I guess, that is the USP of this crime series. The other tagline says ‘Touch darkness and darkness touches you back.’ The drama gets to you when you actually see the trailer. I can bet if you give it a watch, you will go mad after it. You can watch it on YouTube or on HBO site. I personally loved the style how a character in the trailer says ‘The story’s always the same because it only went down the one way.’ Awesome, really!

As this series is quite important for HBO, HBO Defined is up with an awesome activity on Facebook. I gave it a try and it was a really cool detective game where you get crime scenes and you have to solve them to get a ‘True Detective’ badge. Also, as this series is coming on HBO Defined, you get to watch this awesome series totally ad free. Sweet, eh?! I’m quite excited for it. I’m sure you would be if you watch the trailer once.
