Any anthology series is a risk. Because the story keeps changing, some instalments are going to be more popular than others. This proved especially true for HBO crime series True Detective, as the folk-horror tone and all-time performances from Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey made Season 1 by far the most acclaimed. Every season that followed was forced to stand against it in comparison, and they were mostly found wanting.
Now, however, a new series is looking to revive Season 1’s magic... but with a twist that could take everything in a new direction.
