My husband and I are addicted to crime dramas. We watch them all. This past January we knew that True Detective, which stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harelson (that pretty much seals its success right there), would be one that we would not miss. It did not disappoint.
Season one of True Detective used multiple timelines that followed two Louisiana State Police homicide detectives, Rust Cohle and Martin Hart, trying to solve a murder of a young woman. During the course of the 17 years that was chronicled in this series, it became evident that they were hunting for a serial killer. McConaughey and Harelson’s gave fascinating performances as they showed off their characters dark sides. The storyline was gripping and suspenseful and exactly the type of show that would encourage one to order HBO.
I can’t think of a better gift for Father’s Day than to give Dad Season 1 of True Detective. A great show beats receiving a plaid tie or another pair of socks any day! Best Buy is a great place to get this HBO series, which releases on June 10. Dad will have all summer to catch up on this series so he can be ready for Season 2, which is rumored to start in January of 2015 and will have some big name stars as part of the cast.
Best Buy has a huge selection of HBO Series available that would make great gifts not just for Father’s Day but for any gift giving occasion. These include HBO’s Game of Thrones, Eastbound and Down and Curb Your Enthusiasm (one of my husband’s favorites).
“HBO All on Sale” will be available from 6/8 – 6/14 at Best Buy – both in store & online.
Don’t delay, you only have a little over a week to pick out your gift before Father’s Day. Giving one of the HBO series available at Best Buy will make Dad happy and give you the satisfaction of giving not only a great gift, but a unique one!
I received a copy of True Detective Season 1 for writing this post. All opinions are my own.

I’ve heard such good things about this show, but don’t have HBO, so now I don’t have an excuse not to check it out 🙂
I wonder if my Hubs knows about this show… It is one that I am sure he would really like.
Not heard of this show.I would like to check it out.
My husband started watching this! And with DVD and digital copies, binge watching is the BEST way to get caught up!
True Detective is awesome, though very dark and disturbing.
I’ve never seen True Detective (we don’t have HBO.) I’ll have to mention this to my husband. It sounds like something he’d be into seeing.
I don’t have HBO, so I either have to download or go buy the shows. I’ll keep this one in mind. Sounds like something I would like! Thanks!
We started watching this, but never finished it. I’d like to finish the season!
You had me at Best Buy. They have everything! And this looks like a great show for our collection, we are going to need something to view when the kid is at sleep away camp!
I haven’t watched True Detective. I’ll have to check it out.
I love this show and I’m getting my husband into it too! I can’t wait for the new season to start!
I just started watching this series the other day and I am totally addicted! I love Matthew and since I live in New Orleans, this show was a must watch for me. So glad they are doing a second season.
I have never seen this show, but it looks really good. I will have to check it out. My dad used to love Hill Street Blues, so maybe he would like this as well.
I’ve not seen this show, but I’ve heard some great reviews. I’ll have to check it out.
I keep hearing about this and it sounds like I’m gonna have to give in and purchase the season! I do love Matthew!
I love Matthew! I don’t think I’ve seen this show though.
Anything with Matthew is sure to be a hit…because well he is just awesome to look at! It sounds like a great series!
I had no idea those two were doing a TV series – this sounds awesome! I will have to check it out!
My husband and I like crime dramas too. This had good actors, for sure!
I hear this series is awesome- can’t wait to watch it!
I need to watch this. I was scrolling through HBO shows last night on my On Demand and I saw this, thinking my hubby and I might start it.
I haven’t seen this but it sounds like something I’d enjoy watching. You can go wrong with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
I love Woody Harrelson and anything set in Louisiana ( I spent ten years there and love the place). I will have to check this out. It sounds really interesting.
this would be perfect for Father’s Day! I don’t have HBO, but definitely heard great things about this show
My husband and I have always wanted to watch this. What a combo, WH and MM!
My hubby watches this, I’ll have to tell him it’s out.
I’ll have to add this to my bingewatching list. That is, after I get caught up on OITNB.
I want to see this just because I love both actors!!
Never watched this but I can see Hubs enjoying this thoroughly. Definitely his kinda taste!
A little Matthew never hurt anybody. I’d watch just for him.
We’ve watched a few episodes and really like it. This would be a great gift for my hubby since we don’t have hbo anymore.
I have not yet heard of this show, but it does look interesting. I will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
