LOS ANGELES, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Matthew McConaughey and Woody
Harrelson may be best known as fun-loving comedy actors, but the
pair put aside the laughs and their friendship to portray
detectives at odds with each other in a gruesome television
series for HBO.
"True Detective," a new anthology premiering on Sunday,
pairs Rust Cohle (McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Harrelson) to
solve a strange and grisly murder case that takes them deep into
Louisiana's dark, impoverished and drug-stricken underbelly.
The series spans 17 years, from the time the two detectives
begin investigating what appears to be a sadistic killing in
1995 up to 2012 when the case is reopened and each detective, in
very different places in their lives, is questioned by police.
"It's a whodunnit for the murder case, but what you're going
to see throughout is who these two guys are, and when you see
them in 2012, how the hell did they get there and what happened
in the interim," McConaughey told Reuters.
