Should I Watch True Detective?

[Druidic]

TD was Twin Peaks without the self-indulgence and goofiness. Unfortunately, as good as TD was--and it was very, very good--it didn't quite scale the high points that Twin Peaks did when that show was firing on all cylinders. Nevertheless, these are examples of television drama at its best. Imperfect, sure, but occasionally brilliant.
Seriously, outside of Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead and a mere handful of other inspired shows, television remains, for the most part, The Great Wasteland...
