It seems so cruel to say that True Detective has lost its touch based on two episodes, but the writers of this show are capable of so much more. The ending of this week’s episode was interesting, but up until then, it was horseshit.

For years now, HBO has constantly put out quality entertainment, even some of the best TV shows of all time. Last year saw the first season of their new show True Detective, starring Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey as two detectives on the hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. The show was about as close to perfection as TV has come since The Sopranos ended, with its exceptional performances, beautiful cinematography and incredible writing garnering praise from just about everyone. So when it was announced that show would return with a new cast and plot, audiences became sceptical. Could they possibly top what they had already done? Do we want a show without Rust and Cohle? It lead to some worrying thoughts, but lo and behold, Season Two has arrived, to an incredibly underwhelming start.

True Detective is back on our screens, albeit, sans McConaughey and Harrelson. Instead we have Colin Farell, Rachel McAdams and Vince Vaughn. To celebrate the new season, it’s about damn time we had a look at the mesmerising titles that started every episode of Season One.

The stars of the small screen all took to the red carpet last night as one of the biggest television awards in the UK got underway. Under the sunny skies, peeking out in the unexpected chill of spring, the glamorous cast and crew of some of your greatest shows, series and one-off dramas took to the streets of London to celebrate their hard work. At the Theatre Royal, nestled in the capital's famed Drury Lane, the BAFTA Television awards, hosted by Graham Norton, got underway and the list of winners were announced with whopping amounts of praise.

DAMN, THAT’S A MIGHTY FINE MOUSTACHE, FARRELL! Ahem, excuse me. Now, if you had told us about a year ago we’d be getting goosebumps over a teaser that stars Vince Vaughn and Taylor Kitsch, we’d have laughed the facial hair right off of our faces. Which is probably what we did, because it looks like it collected on Colin Farrell’s face, staring at us menacingly like, “Yeah, fuck the McConaissance.” by The I'm With Geek TV Team Another year has come and gone, and with it some fantastic TV series.
