Stephen Dorff as Roland West in season 3

Hot take:Stephen Dorffwas the best thing aboutTrue Detectiveseason 3.

Actually, after some research, it seemsI’m not alone in that opinion.

Well, theBladealum had been perfectly cast as the Woody to Ali’s McConaughey.

Colin Farrell as Ray Velcoro in season 2

Another hot take:True Detectiveseason 2 is underrated!

Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a lot of confusing (Stan?)

And by far the best part of season 2 isColin Farrellas Ray Velcoro.

I don’t even know where to start with Ray.

Matthew McConaughey as Rust Cohle in season 1

Could it really be anyone else?

After originally being offered the role of Marty, McConaughey pushed instead to play Rust and for good reason.
