The "McConaissance" (not to be confused with the “Keanussance,” or the Disney Renaissance) was a period of time that started around 2011 with The Lincoln Lawyer, and ended around 2015 with The Sea of Trees.

But, for as short as it lasted, we got banger after banger, like Killer Joe (2011), Dallas Buyers Club (2013), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), and the creme de la creme, the first season of True Detective (2014) - Oh, and also Interstellar (2014) if you like that sort of thing. I don't.
