True Detective

Four separate stories with four separate casts, so any order works. The fourth one nods at the first, which is a bonus rather than a requirement.

Where to start with True Detective

Any order, genuinely. Four self contained stories with nothing carrying across, so start with whichever premise appeals. The only thing worth knowing is that the fourth contains three deliberate references to the first, which land as small rewards if you have seen it and pass unnoticed if you have not. Nobody needs to watch the first to follow the fourth.

  1. 1
    Season 1 True Detective

    Eight episodes in Louisiana, and the season the show is famous for. Also the one the fourth quietly refers back to.

  2. 2
    Season 4, Night Country True Detective

    Six episodes in Alaska, the shortest season and the most recent. It stands on its own, and lands slightly better after the first.

  3. 3
    Season 3 True Detective

    The Ozarks, across three time periods. The one most often recommended if you liked the first and want more of that.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
