The first season of True Detective, an American anthology crime drama television series created by Nic Pizzolatto, premiered on January 12, 2014, on the premium cable network HBO. The principal cast consisted of Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Monaghan, Michael Potts, and Tory Kittles. The season had eight episodes, and its initial airing concluded on March 9, 2014. Each True Detective season has its own self-contained story, following a disparate set of characters in various settings. The first season explores themes of philosophical pessimism, masculinity, and Christianity. Critics have analyzed the show’s portrayal of women, its auteurist sensibility, and the influence of comics and weird horror fiction on its narrative. The episodes, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, were filmed in Louisiana over a three-month period. The series received positive reviews from critics and was cited as one of the strongest dramas of the 2014 television season. It was a candidate for numerous television awards, including a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Drama Series and a Golden Globe Award for Best Miniseries or Television Film, and won several other honors for writing, cinematography, direction, and acting. Season one focuses on Louisiana State Police homicide detectives Rustin \”Rust\” Cohle and Martin \”Marty\” Hart, who investigated the murder of prostitute Dora Lange in 1995. Seventeen years later, they must revisit the investigation, along with several other unsolved crimes.
The detectives track down an associate of Dora’s ex-husband, Reggie Ledoux, who showed pictures of Lange to a biker gang out of East Texas. In 1995, Charlie Lange showed the detectives a picture of Ledoux to his daughter, Ginger. In season two, Hart’s infidelity threatens his marriage to Maggie, and Cohle struggles to cope with his troubled past. Hart enters a jealous rage when he discovers his mistress Lisa with another man. While researching old investigations, Cohle identifies symbols similar to the Lange case in the death of Rianne Olivier, which was classified as accidental. In the wreckage of a burnt-out church Lange attended, they find a wall painting depicting a human figure wearing deer antlers, and her body is surrounded by twig latticework closely resembling Cajun bird traps. In a standoff with Iron Crusaders, Ginger extricates Cohle from a workplace standoff with security officers, saying he needs to visit his dying father in the dying father’s home. In another standoff, Hart confronts Maggie at her workplace, who reveals the affair to him, who leaves the house with their daughters. In. 1995, Hart and. Cohle turn to a five-year-old missing-persons case of a child named Marie Fontenot. Around the same time, another child claimed to have been chased through the woods by a \”green-eared spaghetti monster,\” around the same place, around the time of the Lange murder.
