HBO Home Entertainment’s groundbreaking and universally acclaimed new thriller series TRUE DETECTIVE is released on Blu-ray and DVD on 9 June 2014 following its successful broadcast on Sky Atlantic. We’ve teamed up with them for this comp where the first prize winner can walk away with a TRUE DETECTIVE DVD box set and a Bulldog Men’s Skincare range which includes Original Facewash, Original Moisturiser, Original Eye Roll-on and Original Shave Gel. One runner up will get a DVD box set.
TRUE DETECTIVE is a truly unsettling cinematic epic in long form, starring Academy® Award winner Mathew McConaughey and Emmy® Award winner Woody Harrelson. Their characters are partners on a sinister case that takes place in the pits of rural Louisiana, contending with oil industry pollution, religious zealots and satanic sacrificial murders.
Created and written by Nic Pizzolatto (The Killing) and with every episode shot on 35mm film by director Cary Fukunaga (Jane Eyre), who uses the Southern Louisiana landscape to achieve an eerie film noir effect, the bleak brilliance of TRUE DETECTIVE is that it asks viewers to also be the detectives. It’s time-shifting structure creates a hugely intriguing show that has won critics and viewers around the world and makes for a gripping and addictive experience as the on-screen events are played out to a conclusion that will have you guessing right until the very end.
In 2012, Louisiana State Police Detectives Rust Cohle (McConaughey), and Martin Hart (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 into 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.
