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'm really touched I like this show so much the actors was good and looked similar to the real victims and it's hurt me so much to know there's such a cold hearted people living around us.

I can't express what I feel right now but it's a lightning for us to know about those crimes to be extra careful in life specially kids :(

I have really enjoyed both season 1 and 2 and cannot wait for season 3. The depiction of real crimes re-enacted and narrated by those who investigated them is an excellent concept and makes for enjoyable viewing. Anyone who is involved in law enforcement, forensics, legal, crime stories, corrections etc, will be able to relate to stories told. I found myself in trenched in the easy to follow episodes. I highly recommend watching both seasons. Well done to those involved

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

I've recently been on a true crime show binge & I've seen some good shows. It doesn't matter what genre you talk about because every genre has great shows, while others are so bad they're laughable. While on my latest binge I came across Real Detective & was immediately surprised to see Michael Madsen in the very first episode of the show. After it I was afraid that would be a serious drop-off on actors after that, right? WRONG! Every episode delivered in every sense of what great shows should be, and then some. I was angry that I breezed thru all of the episodes in no time, I should've savored each & taken my time. If we get a Season 3 I'll have to try & control myself! Sure, some of them still occasionally find a show or an episode featuring actors that weren't good enough for community theater but overall been impressed with some of them. Then I came across this show & kept putting off watching but don't remember why! There hasn't been an episode that wasn't amazing & was essentially a 42 minute feature film. Production values are high but the actors are SO TALENTED! If you haven't watched this show DON'T WAIT ANY LONGER!
