I've been watching this - and I find it fascinating. I haven't seen all the episodes, although they have aired. I think it's good, although perhaps overpraised in the media. I've seen other tormented detective stories, and I don't really care if it's misogynist or trying to comment on misogyny - the end result is the same. Yet, Matthew Mcconaughey and Woody Harrelson are so good in it, it's totally worth watching.

Weird... was just talking about it this weekend with a couple of friends who have recommended it to me. One of my friends has seen all the episode and said it was very good.

Okay, British TDEers.

Have any of you seen Red Riding? I watched it on Netflix (with the captions because boy are those Northern accents thick). Anyway, many viewers who have seen Red Riding and True Detective have noticed a lot of similarities in the mystery and plot. There are differences in character and focus, but the central mystery is...well, ...True Detective isn't quite as original as some critics thought.
