True Detective


)

Another masterpiece from HBO. Its completely different and totally traditional. The spectacular cast lays figuratively and literally fully naked for our indulgence. It takes about five episodes to jell and the first season is only eight episodes.  At episode five I was ready to put this season up with the best of The Sopranos, The Wire or Breaking Bad.  However by the end it dipped into the more mundane but still must see Parthenon of content. Another series that falls into this silver medal band is Vikings. Its a Canadian production.

I think it would be easy to make a Canadian tale like True Detective out of the Picton Murders. Some people think Picton may have only been doing clean up.

  1. Currently my two favourite shows Steve, with True Detective taking a slight edge due to the skin factor. Just haven't had time to catch the final episode yet.

  2. HELL YEAH VIKINGS!!!!

    Love both these shows too. True Detective kind of petered out in the end though. I found the finale just kind of dull (sprry, spoiler I guess Saint P). It was still worth it though
