Quentin Tarantino Thought This Emmy-Winning HBO Show Was "Really Boring" And Dropped It After 1 Episode

True Detective is one of the most acclaimed HBO shows of all time — especially its groundbreaking first season — but Quentin Tarantino was so bored by it that he couldn’t get through a single episode. Tarantino has never helmed a TV series of his own, but he’s a big TV watcher. The Pulp Fiction director is just as vocal about his opinions on television shows as he is with his opinions on movies. He was a big fan of Justified (based on the work of one of his biggest influences, Elmore Leonard) and How I Met Your Mother.
