‘True Detective’ Season Two Character Posters

True Detective Season Two Character Posters

Why are the heads of Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, Vince Vaughn, and Taylor Kitsch cut off in this new set of posters from HBO’s True Detective? Does the fact the posters don’t show the eyes of any of the four leads mean they’re hiding secrets or that the characters are kept from seeing something crucial to their work or relationships? Or was it simply an artistic choice not to include the full faces of Farrell, McAdams, Vaughn, or Kitsch?

Series creator Nic Pizzolatto wrote both seasons of the critically acclaimed series, and episodes one and two of season two were directed by Justin Lin (the Fast and Furious franchise). True Detective is set to premiere on June 21, 2015.

The basic plot: “A bizarre murder brings together three law-enforcement officers and a career criminal, each of whom must navigate a web of conspiracy and betrayal in the scorched landscapes of California.”
