Weirdly, January is now my favorite month for TV—primarily due to the return of Justified... but this time I'm also extra excited for the new HBO drama True Detective starring Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey (debuting January 12)! Check out this description from Deadline...

[True Detective] is descried as an elevated serial narrative with multiple perspectives and time frames. It centers on two detectives, Rust Cohle (McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Harrelson), whose lives collide and entwine during a seventeen-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. The investigation of a bizarre murder in 1995 is framed and interlaced with testimony from the detectives in 2012, when the case has been reopened. The concept is for the 8-episode first season to resolve the mystery at hand, with subsequent seasons using same structure but new characters and story.

And check out the new trailer. I am sooooo all over this.
