True Detective

JAN. 13, 9 P. M., HBO

Alright, alright, alright! Despite a misfire of a second season, the hit HBO crime drama is back — with an Academy Award winner at the helm. Haunted by a case involving two missing children that he failed to solve in the 1980s, retired detective Wayne Hays (Mahershala Ali) returns to the scene of the crime, along with a documentary filmmaker, several years later.
