On the surface, this show should not be on this list, but there's more going on here than meets the eye.

True Detective first premiered back in 2014 with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in the lead roles. Since then, the show has put out two more seasons with a new cast and story every time. The likes of Mahershala Ali, Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Ray Fisher, and Vince Vaughn have all been involved, and now, after a five year hiatus, it's back.

Subtitled "Night Country", the fourth season of True Detective will be set in Alaska and revolve around the mysterious disappearance of a group of scientists at a research lab. Jodie Foster and Kali Reis head up the cast, whilst showrunning duties fall to Issa Lopez, Mexican director of acclaimed horror movie, Tigers Are Not Afraid.

Rumours are flying around that this season of the show will feature more horror elements, and with Lopez on board, you can bet your backside they'll be done right.

Even if it's not that scary, it's True Detective, so it'll be great TV regardless.
