Been keeping my eye on this for a while starts on the 22 of this month on Sky Atlantic HD.
Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) and "Rust" Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) are two detectives and former partners who worked in Louisiana's Criminal Investigation Division in the mid-1990s. In 2012, for reasons not immediately revealed, the two are interviewed separately by investigators about their most notorious case: the macabre 1995 murder of a prostitute by a possible serial killer with disturbing occult leanings. As they look back on the case, Hart and Cohle's personal backstories and often-strained relationship come to the fore.
Hart, an outgoing native Louisianan and family man whose marriage is being frayed by work stress and infidelity, is (at least on the surface) the polar opposite of Cohle, a lone-wolf pessimist and former narcotics detective from Texas. But their shared obsession to hunt down the ritual killer reveals the mercurial nature of Hart and Cohle's relationship and personalities, and how they affect each other as detectives, friends, and men.
"Magnificent and magnetic... Out-of-the-box knockout" - The Hollywood Reporter
"Rich and absorbing, this eight-part drama quickly vaults into elite company, offering a singular voice that's unlike almost anything else on TV." - Variety
