I know it's been on for a month or so but only just got round to watching it. So far I have enjoyed it, what are everyone else's thoughts.

It's excellent, one of the best new series on TV for a long time. Both lead actors are very impressive in it, especially Matthew McConaughey.

I'm up to episode three . So far looks like it's gonna be a good series , agree with come on you hull about the lead actors !!!

Alexandra Daddario

Agree was going to mention the actors but couldn't spell McConaughey's name!!! Always thought he was a bit of a nothing actor, eye candy for the ladies. But I have been impressed with him

I have is sky +. Finding I can't watch these week by week, need a full series recorded so I can have a marathon. Looks promising, and I'm hopeful that it will go some way to filling my Breaking Bad void.

It's a great series, I loved every minute of it. Worth noting also that the plan is to make this show into an anthology - so expect to see a completely new cast of actors/characters if/when season 2 is made.

Just started to catch up with this - watched the first 2 episodes; it's definitely a slow burn, but compelling stuff, brilliantly acted. And I like the flashback nature of the story. I'm hooked!

Best programme on TV for a long, long time..... Just have a small gripe with the ending, which was a little rushed and formulaic, which went against the nature of the first 6 and a half episodes.

I'm looking forward to the next series and it will be interesting to see where the writers take it - They have a lot to live upto.

Managed to polish this off over Easter and I think it's fair to say that it was absolutely superb; dark, uncomfortable and brilliantly executed.

The ending was possibly a touch too neat and tidy, but I can live with that - TV is fast becoming the new cinema, but for grown-ups.

I hope there's more, although I'm not sure what they could do next.

There is a new season planned although with a new cast and location.

Just caught up with this. Really enjoyed the first two thirds or so but I thought the ending was terrible.

Finally got round to watching this. On the whole I really enjoyed it, but got to agree the last episode was disappointing. It was all very rushed and cliched, and not in keeping with the style of the rest of the series. From Marty making the green paint link to Rust head butting the killer and saving the day with a desperate head shot. Lots of things about the cult were just glossed over too with barely a mention.

It wasn't a terrible ending, just didn't live up to the rest of it.

Really enjoyed true detective, one of the few programmes I've watched on catchup that I didn't fast forward the title music, which I thought was great. Hard to see the new series matching it, but we can hope.

The show was indeed superb until the final third in which it seemed to completely contradict its own narrative.

It is very similar to one of the finest made-for-TV series (three movies, in fact) this country has produced - Red Riding (based on the novels by David Peace).

Unfortunately American cultural norms forced the show's producers to baulk at truly exploring the dark and sinister underbelly of human society it was forever threatening to delve into.

Pity really.

Red riding was a quality series. Really enjoyed it. Well written great cast and well acted.
