''True Detective'' is an American anthology crime drama television series created and written by Nic Pizzolatto. The series, broadcast by the premium cable network HBO in the United States, premiered on January 12, 2014. Each season of the series is structured as a disparate, self-contained narrative, employing new cast ensembles and following various sets of characters and settings. The first season, starring Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Monaghan, Michael Potts, and Tory Kittles, takes place in Louisiana and follows a pair of Louisiana State Police homicide detectives, and their pursuit of a serial killer over a 17-year period. The second season, starring Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch, Kelly Reilly, and Vince Vaughn, is set in California, and focuses on three detectives from three cooperating police departments and a criminal-turned-businessman as they investigate a series of crimes they believed are linked to the murder of a corrupt politician. The first season received generally excellent reviews from critics and earned high ratings for HBO. It was nominated for and won numerous awards and other accolades, chiefly for its acting, cinematography, writing, and direction. The second season received generally favorable reviews, praising its acting, cinematography and action sequences, and maintained high viewership for HBO. ==Production== Before developing ''True Detective'', Nic Pizzolatto worked as a literature professor for the University of Chicago, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and DePauw University.〔 He delved into fiction writing soon after, having developed a fascination for it as a graduate student at the University of Arkansas. His first published work was the short story collection ''Between Here and the Yellow Sea'', released in 2006.〔 The author published his debut novel, titled ''Galveston'', four years later, around the same time he began preparing to branch out into the television industry (earlier attempts were never realized due to lack of capital). Intended to be ''Galveston'' follow-up, Pizzolatto felt ''True Detective'' was more suitable on-screen once the project took definite form.〔 Pizzolatto shopped the novel to two TV executives, and, once he secured a deal in May 2010, drafted six screenplays, including the pilot episode script for ''True Detective'', which consumed 90 pages.〔〔 He devoted another script for the series shortly after his departure from ''The Killing'' writing staff in 2011, thanks to the support of Anonymous Content.〔 The final copy, amounting to 500 pages, was written without the aid of a writing staff. By this time, Pizzolatto secured a development deal with HBO,〔 and by April 2012, the network commissioned ''True Detective'' on an order of eight episodes. Set up as an anthology series, each season will feature a different cast of characters and self-contained narratives. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「True Detective (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
