Real Detective

This one is exceptional. in the line of "the detectives".. also brilliant, check it out. now, normally i am not a fan of re-enactments and dramatisations - which tends to end up in ridiculous sensationalism - but this one, through the choice of known and well chosen actors (as the detectives) lends the whole thing - in my opinion - a nice dimension. the story doesn't get lost and it feels very authentic. it is narrated by the detective on the case with no intrusive commentary of other people. i really loved it and wish there were more seasons... please make more!

I can't get over how good this show is! The show, each week follows one murder case and the detective who investigated it. The detectives appear and narrate as the story is recreated by actors. The stories are very well told. And the honesty of the real life reactions to the retelling of these stories is incredibly engaging. These detectives have been scarred for life by these experiences. The wear and tear on them has worn into their faces. And can be heard in their voices. The recreations are very well cast. And the production value of each episode is incredible. The look and feel of this series is just great. Not something I was expecting from a TV show. The cinematography is warm and rich. Something you'd expect on the big screen. The title design really grabs you. The images cause you watch every moment even if you've DVR'd it (and you could just blaze past it). This is really excellent television. And if you like a factual retelling of the investigation of homicides. You'll love this show.

I love this show! The actual detective narrates, and the actors so far are spot on!!!

I wasn't sure to watch it l, but from the first episode I was enjoying and surprised by the cast, image and great narrative of the show.

Loved every episode, was an amazing re-enactment, and the characters really seemed realistic. Sad stories did make me cry, especially when it was talking about children's murders, but it was amazing to be able to see how the detectives and sergeants were able to bring the killers to justice.
