The Hardy Boys began life in the 1920s, inspiring a multimedia franchise spanning from books to television to video games, all about two young brothers who wear wholesome as heck sweaters and solve wholesome as heck mysteries. But the new Hulu series take on the material is... not very wholesome. In fact, this first trailer looks even darker than fellow YA mystery-thrillers like Stranger Things, evoking the moral ambiguities and tonal dread of a Perry Mason or True Detective. And while I know we're all a bit "gritty reboot" fatigued, this trailer, like, really works for me. Rohan …

Well... this is new.

Prepare for your mind to absolutely boggle because the next sentence is gonna throw you for a loop. On Friday, True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto unveiled a pitch for a new Batman comics storyline where he ends up killing God and Watchmen creator Damon Lindelof vehemently co-signed the idea.

[caption id="attachment_875087" align="alignright" width="400"] Image via Warner Bros.[/caption] It all kicked off when Pizzolatto hopped on Instagram to share a lengthy caption and photo set where he essentially unveils his complete thoughts about Batman — "the only …

In a bit of a surprising piece of news, the TV ratings for the season finale of the HBO series The Outsider soared above those of seemingly buzzier shows like Watchmen and True Detective. The final episode of the 10-episode first season of the Stephen King adaptation was watched by 2.2 million viewers across all platforms, per Variety, which is the best performance for a new HBO drama series since Westworld in 2016.

True Detective is a mystery series that leaves viewers guessing with each episode. Look to the costumes to find out a little more about everything.

A True Detective reunion is in the works, but not at HBO. The creator and showrunner of the hit-or-miss HBO anthology series Nic Pizzolatto will create, write, and executive produce a new FX series called Redeemer, which will star True Detective actor Matthew McConaughey. Indeed, McConaughey co-led the brilliant first season of the HBO anthology series and has always expressed a desire to work with Pizzolatto again, and it appears the time has come. Redeemer is inspired by the Patrick Coleman novel The Churchgoer, and the show will follow a former minister-turned-dissolute security guard whose …

The Fox drama series Deputy follows Bill Hollister (Stephen Dorff), a fifth-generation lawman who suddenly finds himself running the Los Angeles Country Sheriff’s Department when the elected Sheriff dies and a rule that dates back to the Wild West puts him in charge.

During this 1-on-1 phone interview with Collider, actor Stephen Dorff talked about how much his experience on HBO’s True Detective …

I deliberately avoided reading Stephen King’s novel The Outsider when I heard it was being developed into a limited series, because I love me a good mystery and I wanted to go into the show absolutely cold. And I’m so glad I did, because while I can’t speak to its quality as an adaptation, I can say that The Outsider is one creepy-as-hell detective story that’s equal parts True Detective and Dracula, told in a style that is unmistakably King’s. It’s a darkly entertaining mystery bolstered by strong performances and a crime …

Stephen Dorff has some experience when it comes to this particular vampire hunter.

True Detective is one of HBO's most acclaimed series, and only true fans could catch these hidden details while watching the first season.

The first season of HBO's True Detective was a masterpiece; Season 2...not so much. We look at the best and worst episodes of the crime TV series.

He makes an interesting point.

True Detective started off with a bang in 2014 with its first season that got rave reviews and viewers hooked. That was followed up by a lackluster second season. But season 3, which aired its eight episodes in January 2019, brought the anthology crime drama back to its initial glory. Each season features a new cast, and follows detectives investigating a major crime. There are twists, turns, red herrings, and plenty of shocking moments to keep viewers at the edge of their seats.

True Detective started off with a bang, and the credit goes to its lead characters whose complex personalities made it a show to watch. Rust Cohle was the breakout character in the first season, as fans took to his introspective words that rang the truth aloud in real world situations.
