Why is True Detective better than other detectives? What makes it different? In their marketing, they announced that they were more in-dept and more in detail regarding real detective work. Atleast, that is how I was told about True Detective.

I've only seen a few minutes of this serie yet, but all I've seen was not really "real' or reality-based. For example, there was a crime scene (surrounded by the famous tape/band). That's okay, but as soon as the "detectives" arive, one of them throw his cigaret on the crime scene. Really!? And, employees were walking and walking through the crime scene. That aint reality..
