Yeah I’ve never seen the other 2 seasons as I’ve heard there was a massive drop off in quality from the first season. Definitely top 2 if you are going single seasons of tv shows easily.
 
I’d say True Detective (season 1) is up there with a few series just behind Band of Brothers and The Bridge (Swedish version) as the greatest TV show ever made.

Funnily enough, I’ve never watched the series 2 and beyond. As others have said, there was just something about the story, the characters and the atmosphere that wouldn’t have been replicated in subsequent seasons.

EDIT - Whilst BluRay is made for TV series like TD, you can get season 1 on DVD for £4.44 from Amazon. A bargain.

I agree, we rewatched the first 2 series before watching season 3 and they were still brilliant second time around, whereas the storyline was weak in season 3. Easy enough telly to watch and decent enough but not a patch on first 2.
