True Detective

CrimeDramaMysteryThriller56 min per episode

Each season of this anthology follows a different police investigation, using multiple timelines to show how a murder case exposes personal histories, professional secrets, and corruption inside and outside the law. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson lead the first story as Louisiana detectives drawn into a search for a serial killer with links to a cult; later chapters turn to new investigators, with Mahershala Ali at the center of one case and Jodie Foster heading another. Across the series, the crimes are only part of the story as the detectives’ own lives, departments, and past decisions come under scrutiny.
