Real Detective

Loved every episode, was an amazing re-enactment, and the characters really seemed realistic. Sad stories did make me cry, especially when it was talking about children's murders, but it was amazing to be able to see how the detectives and sergeants were able to bring the killers to justice.

I'm really touched I like this show so much the actors was good and looked similar to the real victims and it's hurt me so much to know there's such a cold hearted people living around us.

I can't express what I feel right now but it's a lightning for us to know about those crimes to be extra careful in life specially kids :(

I'm a BIG true-crime addict, and have been watching true crime TV for over 30 years. This show ranks with the best ever series that I've seen. The show has got to be one of the most expensive ever. The production values are fantastic, and many of the episodes star actors who, if not famous, are excellent character actors that I've seen many times and I'm sure others would recognize from many films and TV shows: Michael Madsen, Tahmoh Penikett, Louis Ferreira, etc. I usually don't like the dramatizations on most true crime TV, but the recreations on this show are excellent. But ultimately, what really sets the series apart are the presenters - always the detectives that worked the original case. They've all been deeply affected by these cases, and it shows. This makes Real Detective perhaps the most moving of any true crime documentaries shows on television. Kudos to the show runners and everyone involved. I hope there are many more seasons!

I love this show! The actual detective narrates, and the actors so far are spot on!!!

I've recently been on a true crime show binge & I've seen some good shows. It doesn't matter what genre you talk about because every genre has great shows, while others are so bad they're laughable. While on my latest binge I came across Real Detective & was immediately surprised to see Michael Madsen in the very first episode of the show. After it I was afraid that would be a serious drop-off on actors after that, right? WRONG! Every episode delivered in every sense of what great shows should be, and then some. I was angry that I breezed thru all of the episodes in no time, I should've savored each & taken my time. If we get a Season 3 I'll have to try & control myself! Sure, some of them still occasionally find a show or an episode featuring actors that weren't good enough for community theater but overall been impressed with some of them. Then I came across this show & kept putting off watching but don't remember why! There hasn't been an episode that wasn't amazing & was essentially a 42 minute feature film. Production values are high but the actors are SO TALENTED! If you haven't watched this show DON'T WAIT ANY LONGER!
