World Needs Bad Men. We keep the other bad men from the door.

Wow!
A truly stunning series, in my opinion, even to settle on Breaking Bad, The Wire, Game of Thrones, etc..
The series is world class on two levels: on the one hand of the plot, the story, the tension here, on the other hand, and this is just as important, the great power of the director and actors.
For the action, I do not want to reveal too much, but it was said that the tension is maintained throughout and also the development of the characters was great implemented.
Without limitations, but I can talk about the great pictures, the gloom and especially Rust philosophical statements. The music fits almost always and the cuts are set great.

The first season of "True Detective" sets the standard for all series new, of course, especially for Season 2, with a completely new story and cast.
