The first season of True Detective, an American anthology crime drama television series created by Nic Pizzolatto, originally aired from January 12 to March 9, 2014 on the premium cable network HBO. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Monaghan, Michael Potts, and Tory Kittles, the season focuses on Louisiana State Police homicide detectives Rustin “Rust” Cohle and Martin “Marty” Hart and their seventeen-year investigation of the murder of prostitute Dora Lange. Season one explores themes of philosophical pessimism, masculinity, and Christianity; critics have analyzed the show's portrayal of women, its auteurist sensibility, and the influence of comics and weird horror fiction on its narrative. Pizzolatto initially conceived True Detective as a novel, but later felt it was suitable for television. The show received positive reviews and was cited as one of the strongest dramas of the 2014 television season. It was a candidate for numerous awards, including a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Drama Series, and won several other honors for writing, cinematography, direction, and acting.
