I surely -- REALLY surely -- loved Season 1 and recommend it unreservedly.

Season 2 was a failure, but if there was going to be a season 3 or

The season started off a bit slow, but developed into a phenomenal series.

First season was outstanding - must watch!

It's a phenomenal season.

Fabulous season!

My only hope is that season 2 is just as great or even better than the first

Each "season" of this series is a new crime, a new teaming of detectves.

Season 1 of True Detective is a little slow at times, but well worth the time to view it.

Don't think any season will live up to the first though thanks to Woody and Mathew.

OK, so I will start by saying that I enjoyed this season

I loved the first season of True Detective

Season 1 of True Detective is a little slow at times, but well worth the time to view it.

Love the first season of this series and I'm excited to share it with my wife!

This first season was spectacular, and the second season didn't do the first one any justice.

Its only has 8 episodes, and starts out slow, but it was a good season

Only thing bad about this season is watching season 2 and finding out how crappy they made the second season.

This was the best single season of a TV show that was ever made

True Detective Season 1 is brilliant.

As already commented, I did enjoy this season, but there are much better programs out there that tells similar stories in more depth and intensity.

Loved Loved Loved season one

First season is awesome

Excellent first season!

Like Breaking Bad and Ron Moore's Galactica, the first season of this show provides an inspiring example of everything television productions may not only aspire for, but achieve.

Outstanding season.

This was a very good season

Loved the first season

Second season is great but not the same!

Great series too bad second season did not live up to these two

Great 1st season

Possibly the best single season show I've ever seen!

Great series too bad second season did not live up to these two

I watched season 2 before this one and 1st season is a MUCH better season with great storyline and excellent twists that left you hunger for more.

This season is as good as the Wire, Walking Dead, Daredevil, Lost (seasons 1-4), Heroes (seasons 1-3).

Amazing season

great entertainment, keeps you interested from start to finish unlike the incredibly horrible second season.

sink to, as well as the people who courageously put themselves forward, going up against them in what transpires in this show as a titanic struggle - of the definitely-conflicted versus something wicked that is both not quite explainable yet must be challenged, even though the battle is never-ending

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
