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.
