    Abstract

    This article outlines some of the salient features and ad hoc history of metaphysical detective fiction (MPDF). Using season 1 of True Detective (2014-) as a case study, it explores how the series takes advantage of new programming freedoms to dramatize MPDF for a "broadcast literature" audience.
