The first season of True Detective, which sees partners Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson hunting for a serial killer in Louisiana over the course of 17 years, has gained widespread critical acclaim.

This video, from the guys at The Soup, spoofs these traits of True Detective with a video mocking the accents and language used on the show.
