Just as Orange Is the New Black was THE show on everyone's lips and fingertips last year, True Detective had and has a chokehold on our cultural zeitgeist this year. Welcome to 2014, where Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson ruled our must-watch TV with iron fists. You have to imagine Emmy voters were relieved that Breaking Bad wrapping up its final season all but guaranteed that the award would go to Bryan Cranston, otherwise it may have come to blows over whether or not it would go to Harrelson or McConaughey. True Detective was dark, twisted, cerebral. The crime drama was unlike anything we'd seen on TV yet.
