Briefly: I still need to watch the finale, but so far True Detective has been an absolutely incredible ride.
For those that missed the miniseries, HBO has just revealed the first season’s Blu-Ray release details. The set will release on June 10th, and cost you $79.99 for Blu-Ray (just $10 per episode…), and $59.99 on DVD.
True Detective focuses on Martin Hart (Harrelson) and Rust Cohle (McConaughey), two detectives and former partners who worked in Louisiana’s Criminal Investigation Division in the mid-1990s. At first glance, Hart and Cohle couldn’t be more different. Hart, a native Louisianan, is an outgoing family man with two kids, whose marriage to wife Maggie (Michelle Monaghan, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) is buckling under the stress of the job. Cohle, a former undercover narcotics detective from Texas, embraces isolation, articulating a pessimistic, even bleak, world view. But they share an obsession with justice and a facility for violence that will inflict irreparable damage on both men. In 2012, the two are interviewed separately by investigators about their most notorious case: the macabre 1995 murder of a prostitute by a possible serial killer with disturbing occult leanings. As they look back on the case, Hart and Cohle’s lives collide and entwine in unexpected, sometimes catastrophic ways, and their personal backstories and often-strained relationship become a major focal point of the investigation.
Along with the episodes, the set will also feature a myriad of interesting special features:
