The first – and in my opinion, the best – season of this series is more of a crime drama, but it certainly delivers a fair dose of creepy and unsettling moments. The story revolves around a series of grisly, ritualistic murders and the investigation that follows. The narrative jumps forward and back in time, following two detectives on the case, brilliantly portrayed by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
