Comment on 'True Detective' Is Must-See TV Again Thanks to Jodie Foster and Co.
PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 11 months agoSeason one might be the best single season of television I can think of. It certainly helps that it was apparently written over nearly a decade by a college professor of fiction writing. The story just works so well, and the career-defining performances of the two leads makes it that much better.

I take a couple of issues with this. One, I would agree it’s one of the best scripted tv seasons I’ve seen, but it doesn’t even come close to being number one for me. I would put the jinx above it, for one. Can’t say why, but it is just head and shoulders above it. Which I know is 110% subjective, but it’s what I think. And two, and I think this is a way more objective opinion than my prior one, there is no way that that series was the career defining moment for either Harrelson or McConaughey. I mean, Matthew has literally won an Oscar…

The Jinx was a docuseries though. Can’t really compare written television to documentaries.

You totally can. Imdb does. If anything, it’s harder to do a good documentary than it is scripted tv, cos you can’t just rewrite a doco if some of its a bit shit like you can with scripted tv.
