True Detective is an American television crime drama that premiered on January 12, 2014 on the HBO network. It was created and written by Nic Pizzolatto. Conceived as an anthology, each season will be engineered as a disparate, self-contained narrative, employing new cast ensembles and following various sets of characters and settings.

True Detective was a candidate for television awards in a variety of categories recognizing its writing, acting, production, and direction. The show received eleven Primetime Emmy nominations heading into the 2014 Emmy season, scooping up five wins, among them being Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for Cary Joji Fukunaga. At the 72nd Golden Globe Awards, the show scored three Golden Globe nominations, including Best Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film for Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson and Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film for Michelle Monaghan. Other substantial nominations include four TCA Awards (two wins), three Satellite Awards, and a BAFTA (one win).
