Emmy-winning ‘True Detective’, created by Nic Pizzolatto, returns for its third season starring Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali as Wayne Hays, a retired detective who has been tormented for 35 years by a case involving the 1980 disappearance of a 12-year-old boy and his 10-year-old sister in the town of West Finger, Arkansas.
With a failing memory, the aging Hays ruminates on details of his investigation with the producer of a true-crime documentary. Through flashbacks, details about the case are revealed of what happened on that fateful night in 1980 – and how that one event shaped the lives of so many people.
“Season Three of True Detective doesn't have quite the pulling power of the first go-around, in which McConaughey's revelatory performance immediately jumped off the screen.” - Uncle Barky
“Despite the shadowy distractions, "True Detective” is a solid procedural led by a faceted leading performance." - Boston Globe
