I'm thinking about starting it this evening. Admittedly, I don't know very much about the show other than it's pretty popular. I don't watch very many shows these days but True Detective caught my attention. Seems like a very interesting story with a good setting. Solid cast as well. Is it worth the hype? Just trying to get a sense of what I might be in store for.

I don't get the point of these threads

You are obviously are interested in the show and have heard good things....so go watch it.

I agree...it reeks of conformity and laziness. It's like they wanna watch it but need some sort of conformation from autonomous internet strangers before they invest the time.

Watch the show and form your own opinion

It's good but ignore the posters that say it is as good as The Wire.

that depends

are you going to completely shift your expectations overnight and just accept it? if so, it can be perceived as good

It's terrible. In fact, I pre-ordered the first season precisely so I could rewatch it to remind myself just how awful it is. I have rewatched the full season twice now and I can't get over just how bad it is.

My administration approves of this show. I liked it and avoided all discussion of the show until I had watched it.

Was cool seeing all of the locations around New Orleans.
