The third season. The action takes place in the area of ​​the limestone plateau Ozark, located simultaneously in several states. Detective Wayne Hayes, along with an investigator from Arkansas Roland West, are trying to figure out a mysterious crime stretching for three decades.

Review of the series from me:
New detective American series from Cary Fukunaga, narrating about two detectives investigating serial killings, the main roles of which are played by Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey.

The key word of this series is atmospheric: the scene is Louisiana, whose landscapes are worthy of any horror film. Maybe that's why from the series first you expect some kind of mysticism and horror, although expectations are not entirely justified.

I can say that the series turned out to be interesting, compelling to think, compare the facts, empathize with the heroes, their lives, monitor their actions and events going on for 17 years. The murdered girl Dora Lang in 1995, will be a special affair and will leave an indubitable mark in the life of detectives. Throughout the series, before us we disclose the main characters of Rust (Matthew McConaughey), he is withdrawn, he does not have a simple destiny, he has lost his daughter and he lives in this pain, which he tries to drown, he lives in his own world and Marty (Woody Harrelson), at first with Rast he had to be hard, but gradually they work, Marty has a wife, two daughters, who occasionally have problems, in general it is the exact opposite of Rast. The series is shot in dark, gloomy colors, with a pumping atmosphere, a wilderness where terrible things happen.

The feature of the series is a large time frame in the storyline, which allowed the director to clear up in a certain sense, as well as postpone the disclosure of the crime for years for which the life of the main characters will change greatly.

On the design and music is to say separately, which is only one opening stands, with a magnificent, catchy soundtrack, in a shuffle with an intricate video sequence. Throughout the series, music, as a rule, pleases.

And what in the end? True Detective is a great McConaughey in his prime, serious Harrelson and not always relevant exercises. Fukunaga is a good, even an excellent series, but he could have become Great, but he did not. All the same, here and there come out some light roughness and understatement, which in themselves are uncritical, but together, yes, they do not allow to build a show in the pantheon. True Detective slightly did not jump to greatness and harmoniously integrated into the series, becoming "one of".
10 out of 10 from me.

Interesting Facts:
Sadarias Harrell scored 21 kilograms for his role as Detective Drew.

Shootings of the first season took place on the coastal plains of the south of Louisiana, where his story unfolds.

The only director of the first season of the series was Carey Fukunaga. In the process of preparing for the shooting, he watched the real work of detectives from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Louisiana Police.

Detectives move by car 1995 Chevrolet Caprice - a common car of detectives of those years in many US states.

Some quotes:
