Top-3 Movies If You Miss True Detective Season 1
Some things are just classics at this point.
The premiere season of the legendary series was critically and commercially acclaimed. True Detective was a masterpiece that captivated viewers with its dark, complex storyline and stunning performances.
However, much time has passed and the creators have not been able to repeat the success of the first installment.
We all really missed the unhurried storytelling and layering of True Detective's mysteries. Unfortunately, season 2, with the equally charming Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn, failed to replicate the success of its predecessor.
The third chapter, however, tried to follow the same pattern as the first season, but didn't get the same recognition.
So we've put together a list of movies that will help you remember the intense, dark atmosphere and twisted plot of True Detective's season 1.
Se7en (1995)
Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, Se7en is a dark and disturbing thriller that explores the seven deadly sins through the gruesome murders of a serial killer.
The movie's bleak atmosphere and the killer's twisted motives will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
2. Zodiac (2007)
Another David Fincher film is based on the true story of the Zodiac Killer, who terrorized San Francisco in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The movie follows the investigation led by a cartoonist, a journalist and a detective as they try to catch the elusive maniac.
With its attention to detail and realistic portrayal of the investigation, Zodiac is a must-see for true crime fans.
3. Memories of Murder (2003)
Directed by Bong Joon-ho, Memories of Murder is a South Korean movie based on the true story of a serial killer who terrified a rural town in the 1980s.
The story chronicles the investigation led by two detectives who must navigate the corrupt and incompetent local police force to catch the criminal.
Memories of Murder is a gripping crime drama that will keep you guessing until the very end with its blend of dark humor and suspense.
True Detective remains the benchmark for quality and mystery. The new installment of the anthology series promises to take viewers to Alaska, but it will probably be more like Fargo than Nic Pizzolatto's work.
So these movies will help you immerse yourself in the beloved atmosphere of the first season of the legendary show.
