Similar shows/movies like True Detective

Are there any shows/movies similar to True Detective Season 1?

I just finished watching it and i want more.

I am also 2 episodes into Season 2 and it's boring shit.

Will Season 3 be good?

Zodiac, sort of. Zodiac is much better (since it doesn't shit the bed in the last few episodes) but it has a similarly dark, atmospheric tone with a focus on character development.

Do you mean the movie?
If yes then i have to say that i love it, have seen it for the 20th time last week.
It's really good.

Lone Star (1996)

The Wire

Does it also have a Occult theme?

Thanks, it sounds very good and has Alright boy in it.
Will watch it today.

Red riding trilogy

no, lol. also, to your earlier question, season 3 is okay, 2 is better, and 1 is the best dude i fucking love true detective season 1. furthermore, i have no good recommends for TF s1 feels but zodiac was a great suggestion

Thanks for the info.

2 is better than 3?
Fuck 3 must be really bad then.

Thanks, will check it out!

3 is just 1 again, but with big "fuck yous" to the fans

>but with big "fuck yous" to the fans
What do you mean?
Heard that Rust has a cameo in it.

that's a good example, the reporter character is us the fans of s1 being made fun of becauseshe's trying really hard to connect this case with the s1 case

Prisoners was good

Checked.
Season 1 & 2 are good with, obviously 1 being the best.
Season 3 is good from the first episode to the third or fourth the rest is just filler i felt.
The way things unravel at the end of season 3 is just an outstanding display of lazy writing. I've watched season 1 for the second time cause i needed something to make forget that shitshow at the end.

spoiler over the wife's book in season 3.


The book is there for no other reason just for the sake of his developing Alzheimer nothing useful comes out of the wife's book other than that lazily written twisty in a reddit fashion ending of theirs.


Have fun watching it.

You can just skip S2 honestly, it's trash.

S3 is not as good as S1 but it's a return to formula and very good.

>True Dectective S1 was a lightning in a bottle.
We are never getting anything like that again huh?

seven and the silence of the lambs have that serial killer vibe

I have seen them, and they aren't comfy they are depressing.
I felt bad after watching them, but felt comfortable after TD S1.

Memories of Murder fagggots

Season 2 was ok, better than 3, which was also not bad.
Watch Prisoners.

Necronomicon by Alan Moore

Fish rape?

A lot of people recommended that movie to me when i asked about movies like Zodiac.
I just don't like movies with subtitles, because it robs the vibe of movies.
Why can't Americans just overdub movies like other nations?
Damn, you are like the 4th person that says that S3 is the worst.
I as i said am 2 EP into S2 and it's pure depressing boring shit.
Shitty story, shitty time period, shitty environment.
I got a bit exited when i read that S3 plays in older days and in the South.

I have seen Prisoners and it was great!

But that's a comic book bro!

>We are never getting anything like that again huh?
It's depressing right?
I think with the whole anti white male/anti south agenda we will never see kino like that anymore.
Maybe some Indie movie here and there.

Prisoners and both Utopia Seasons

Came here to post this. Brilliant show.

>TD season 1
>Terror Season 1
>Chernobyl
That's about it senpai. Rest is literal garbage

From Hell is closer to TD imo

Chernobyl was great, left the same Void after it ended like TD S1

Hannibal maybe?

Check out pic related. The first season has the same cinematographer as True Detective season 1. People complain about the feminism, but it's more complicated than "grr ebil men," and the actual story and characters are good, and like True Detective, has a dark twist to it.

Check out pic related. It doesn't have a serial killer or occult undertones, but the relationship between two detectives and overall atmosphere of the movie really resemble TD.

Mindhunter

Looks promising, is it close to TD S1s vibe?

The Spanish film "marshland"

Hannibal is great but it doesn’t give me TD vibes. It’s still worth watching though.

Not the guy you responded to, but Mindhunter is pretty solid. It doesn’t have the southern gothic atmosphere of TD but it’s very cerebral

no, there's nothing else like it

the other two seasons have nothing to do with the first season either, not sure why they even bothered making it an anthology when everything that made True Detective popular is missing from the subsequent seasons, might as well be a different show entirely

Kill List
The Killing
Blue Ruin

I’ve not seen the other two but Blue Ruin is excellent

prisoners

its the only thing that can match true detective season 1.

it has the occult aspect but different and has so much depth you can watch it multiple times.

also loki is the only detective i can think of that is similar interesting as rust.

It has lots of spooks.

S3 had an interesting concept about chasing menory... But shits the bed constantly and is nothing burgers.

NCIS
NCIS LA
CSI

Basically any procedural crime show because TD didn't do anything profound or remarkable and had the absolutely most-cliche trope of "Depressed/lost/et al. person eventually finds hope at the end after X event right near the end of show/movie."

Time is a flat circle.

Sounds good then!

La isla minima

Sharp Objects for comfy small town with dead girls and investigations

This, La Isla Minima is litteraly spanish TD1

8mm with nic cage is pretty gritty but nothing occultic

Both the original wicker man and the remake, again with nic cage, has some occult stuff. The original has a better atmosphere.

Has anyone else watched this Canadian show called Dunham County

Manhunter (movie)
Kalifornia (Brad Pitt movie)
Mindhunter (series)
Millennium (90s occult killer series)
Brimstone (90s occult series)
Man Bites Dog (movie)
Twin Peaks (series)
The First Power (1990 occult)
The Conspiracy ('10s movie, pretty good)
The Den ('10s movie, surprisingly great)
Race with the Devil (70s occult movie)
The Vanishing (movie)

Blue Ruin is very close to TD, dope movie!

Is The Following any good?

It has its moments but overall, not really, no

>Why can't Americans just overdub movies like other nations?
are you retarded? honest question

imo the closest thing ive seen to season1 is the 1997 movie cure. cure is also in my top3 movies its amazing.

This. Great movie, very similar. Nails the oppressive ambiance that made TD1 so fucking good.

Memories of Murder. It's pretty similar. Also, as an added bonus, it's the best movie ever made.

Frailty, a movie where Mcconaughey recounts his life living with his cereal killer father and how he and his brother were forced to help him. Not much mystery but still great.

Have seen it!
It's really good, with a fucking epic plot twist!

Will check it out
