10 TV Characters We'd Love To See Return For One Season

Possibly one of the most enigmatic characters in all of Television since the dawn of the medium in the 20th century, Rust Cohle quickly became a fan favourite when the first season of True Detective aired in 2014. Eight episodes was nowhere near enough to unpack everything that the Nihilistic detective, impeccably portrayed by Mathew McConaughey during his sensational career revamp, was all about. Whether it was a young Rust on the job or the old pony-tailed, chain-smoking Rust being interviewed in a police station, the character would often give form to eloquent diatribes about society and the world that often would hit a little too close to home.

Recurring characters across seasons goes against the premise of Nic Pizzolato’s gritty detective drama, however if an exception was to be made for one character it would have to be the mysterious Rust Cohle. However, while they are at it they may as well include his partner Marty Hart, portrayed by Woody Harrellson, too as their whole dynamic on screen is what makes them both excellent characters in the first place.
