You won't be disappointed although the first series is easily the weakest in my opinion.

Although it has been some time since I saw them, I thought the first three series were the best, and the show went downhill after that, but all five were high-quality TV.

My girlfriend has seen Game Of Thrones up to date so i took a break from my marathon to catch up to watch season 1 of True Detective managed to get in the first two episodes earlier today. Loving it so far has a really eerie dark vibe really got hooked a few minutes into the first episode.

Got about 6 episodes of this left. Had it a few months but rotate it with other stuff too.

Just finished season one of True Detective just kept getting better and better well worth a watch if you can. Going to try season 2 tomorrow I hear it's not as good but worth a shot.

Glad you enjoyed it Nord. Despite the slow burn approach season one is magnificent tv. Now season 2...well do you have anything else to watch?

Definitely stick with it, as it gets much better. Season 2 is far superior to season 1 and I consider it the best one with 3 a very close second (almost tied) and 5 makes up the last of my top 3 seasons. I’d place season 1 in the middle. It’s the most simplistic season; it’s only 12 episodes long (half the length of the other seasons) and it’s more of a monster of the week show at this point with a loose story arc thrown in. The effects are the most dated of the series too. But it’s still fun and it lays the foundations of what’s to come.

Joss Whedon really takes advantage of elaborating on this with Season 2. It really comes into its own as a show here especially at the halfway point and becomes the ‘Buff the Vampire Slayer’ that is adored by so many. It also introduces Spike who’s my favourite Buffy character along with Willow and Faith who’s introduced in season 3. Season 6 is a good season overall with the last three episodes being excellent. Season 7 is second from bottom but isn’t bad overall. Season 4 is the worst but it still has some standout episodes and Spike has loads of great comic moments throughout.

Check out the spin-off series ‘Angel’ as well that’s also great. It starts after Buffy season 3 and is set alongside Buffy season 4 onwards and runs for 5 seasons. If you’re interested, you can follow this guide to watch all episodes of both shows chronologically - The Watcher's Council: Buffy and Angel Episode Viewing Order

This series made me reevaluate MM as an actor. Sadly the second doth not do the same for its stars IMHO! Ahem.

I felt like that about Woody Harrelson.
Unfortunately Season 2 wastes 2 good actors and fuff knows why Vince Vaughn is in, his performance is cringey.
