True Detectives with Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson and Michelle Monaghan (TV Series)

                                                         

This is a raw crime drama about a Louisiana serial killer; proving once again that man is the most cruel and evil animal walking on this planet. Season 1 with its eight (8) episodes immediately got my attention; because of the lives of the two Louisiana State Police Criminal Investigations Division homicide detectives---Rust Cohle and Marty Harty. And, their lives in the 17 years it took them through a Louisiana maze of bayous and smokescreens to solve this crime---when it seemed so many others were against their success of solving this ghastliest mystery. Some scenes I could not watch because of the subject matter, which is unreal to any sane person.

Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) is a husband to his gorgeous wife Maggie Hart (Michelle Monaghan) and father to two beautiful young girls who loved their daddy. He had it all---a career with a wonderful family. However, his asinine thinking that he could love two women caused him to lose his wife and children in divorce. Maggie forgave him once for being unfaithful, but when it happened again---that was the end.



Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) is a dark sad, very intelligent man who never gives up on any clue and has a method which can extract the truth from anyone especially criminals. He is a no-nonsense man with a past who indulged with alcohol to forget for a while, until again the light of day is staring him in the face.



Rust had a family once---a wife and a two year old child who, was killed in an accident. The death of their baby girl destroyed their marriage. And, now his solace is his work, it gave him motivation and in his working hours a time to be sober. His methodical and intelligent techniques seem to aggravate his bosses and others he worked with each day. If only the ones in power had listened to him earlier---years and lives might have been saved.

HMO did a fabulous job in viewing this show for all the fans of Woody and Matthew’s, and we hope they will return in Season 2.

Note: My Grandmother Knight would love this show---I remember she loved reading murder mysteries, crime and the most wanted. I will never understand how my Angelic grandmother could enjoy such books---but she did.
