True Detective

True Detective is a show I finished not too long ago that has a very interesting Narrative in terms of the actual content but also how it is undertaken. The narrative is about two detectives who portray both similar and different traits which have them constantly second guessing each other. The series begins with both of them being interviewed separately by two detectives in 2012. They recount the events of a case that happened 15 years prior as the show constantly flashes back between them then and now.

This continues for the first 6 episodes until it leads to the two detectives meeting up after their interviews and continuing their unfinished case.

The typical TV series crime drama narrative starts at the beginning of the case and goes on until it is solved. True detective is similar in this way however it features a different narrative structure that I have never witnessed which ultimately makes it unique and interesting.
