Admittedly, I used to not be much of a TV show person. My disdain for TV shows has dramatically faded over the years, though. I mostly blame Netflix for this once they started dramatically dwindling down their movie line-up in instant play, and started replacing them with an endless count of TV shows and movies that no one cares to watch. Even though I still consider myself more of a movie person, I have somewhat of a long list of favorite TV shows now.
After a long, sometimes hectic week at work; my husband and I love to relax and unwind by staying in and catching up with some of our favorite TV shows. Even though neither one of us are really into crime dramas, such as CSI or Law & Order, we do watch the Discovery ID shows from time to time (until one of us gets slightly paranoid, considering these are genuine cases). However, our curiosities are piqued by the fictional crime drama, True Detective. To top off, the main stars of the show are played by two naturally talented and well diversified actors: Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. In the plot, it follows Rust Cohle and Martin Hart, two detectives, who are entangled in the hunt for the most gruesome serial killer in history in Louisiana.
Since my husband has a strong love for TV shows (and music), buying him a gift on Father’s Day will be effortlessly easy. One of my usual haunts is Best Buy, because they always seem to have the perfect gift. The first season of True Detective releases on June 10th – talk about perfect timing! Between June 8th – 14th, Best Buy will be having a HBO All on Sale in-store and online. You can shop and save on other TV show series from HBO, such as Game of Thrones, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Eastbound and Down. Great shows beat plaid ties anytime!
I have heard such good things about this show. I definitely want to watch it at some point!
This looks right up my alley. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

I’ve not yet seen this show but I’m intrigued by the trailors. Woody Harrelson is one of my favorite actors. Matthew McConaughey isn’t bad either

I absolutely love True Detective and highly recommend it! I found out about it from one friend who was raving. It’s so well-done.
I keep meaning to check this show out. I had heard so much about it.
I am a HUGE Game of Thrones fan. I am anxiously awaiting book 7.

Well, those are two definitely good actors, and MC is hot, so I’d say it’s worth checking out 🙂

I had never heard about this show until just recently. I didn’t think much of watching it but I also didn’t know that it starred Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey either. Now I’m a bit more interested in it, LOL!

Normally, it’s something I probably wouldn’t get into (unless it was a movie), but the fact that Woody and Matthew stars in it makes me definitely interested in it. Both are terrific actors!

I watched this show on HBO. I really tried to get into it. But I’m glad it’s on bluray to maybe watch again.
I have heard that the show is slow at first, yet it starts getting better and better after a few episodes. I can’t wait to watch it, because the storyline sounds really intriguing. 🙂
