The cast was superb, the storyline was awesome and the ramblings of Matthew McConaughy's character were phenomenal.
Good show, great cast, a little slow at times but enjoyable
Came out of no where with a great cast and great storyline
First-rate performances all around, excellent casting and scripting, good music, and some hauntingly beautiful cinematography

Not one of the silly action procedural dramas so common on TV

A very "smart" drama, much of the focus is on the well built and acted characters

Perhaps as a ‘non-United States of America’ viewer, I find such sometimes overwrought religious resolutions, appeals to supernatural influences (particularly the messy intertwining between that and what I would call troubling delusions, and genuine mental illness), well, if the creators of True Detective had pushed those themes much further, I think the result would have been faintly ridiculous (leaving aside the fact the show has already attracted perhaps more than its fair share of parodies).It is open to question to what degree the superb acting, the great script, the outstanding production values, the gobsmackingly awesome cinematography and musical
By way of comparison, the Hannibal Lecter of Anthony Hopkins, mesmerizing as he was, caught inside Dr Chiltern’s high-security institution, was terrifying enough
‘fallen’ women, all the way to as I said the ‘victims’ of serial killers
‘women who fall victim to predators’, including serial killers
The two detectives pursuing these child and woman rapists and killers.

The two detectives, played by Harrelson and McConaughey, are bad people themselves who, in the course of the show, commit adultery, murder, kidnapping, beatings, thievery (B&Es) and perjury.
True Detective is a painfully dark, depressing, brutal and ugly story about very horrible and sick people doing evil things

People with their problems usually just commit suicide, I think.

More about True Detective
HBO premieres a new drama series, True Detective, this season focusing on Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) and "Rust" Cohle (Matthew McConaughey), two detectives and former partners who worked in Louisiana's Criminal Investigation Division in the mid-1990s
In 2012, for reasons not immediately revealed, the two are interviewed separately by investigators about their most notorious case: the macabre 1995 murder of a prostitute by a possible serial killer with disturbing occult leanings
As they look back on the case, Hart and Cohle's personal backstories and often-strained relationship become a major focal point
Hart, an outgoing native Louisianan and family man whose marriage is being frayed by work stress and infidelity, is (at least on the surface) the polar opposite of Cohle, a lone-wolf pessimist and former narcotics detective from Texas
While the plot is moved forward by their shared obsession to hunt down the ritual killer, the true drama centers around the mercurial nature of Hart and Cohle's relationship and personalities, and how they affect each other as detectives, friends, and men.
