Sunday, January 12:
-- Premiere of True Detective (HBO): This is a quick summary, but the reviews to date have been very positive, and you cannot beat the talent involved in this new show:
In 2012, Louisiana State Police Detectives Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) are brought in to revisit a homicide case they worked in 1995. As the inquiry unfolds in present day through separate interrogations, the two former detectives narrate the story of their investigation, reopening unhealed wounds, and drawing into question their supposed solving of a bizarre ritualistic murder in 1995. The timelines braid and converge in 2012 as each man is pulled back into a world they believed they'd left behind. In learning about each other and their killer, it becomes clear that darkness lives on both sides of the law.
-- Season three of Girls (HBO): Season four has already been green-lighted.
-- Season four of Shameless (Showtime)
Monday, January 13:
-- Premiere of Bitten (SyFy): See my earlier post.
-- Premiere of Don’t Trust Andrew Mayne (A&E): A magician focused on revenge. Sounds odd and intriguing.
-- Return of the first season of The Fosters (ABC Family)
-- Season four of Being Human (Syfy)
Update: Keep in mind that Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson will only be on the first season of True Detective, so this is a one time offer.
