With the new series of True Detective debuting on Sky Atlantic on Monday June 22, The Hollywood Reporter has praised Colin Farrell's performance as corrupt Detective Ray Velcoro, saying he "gets the meatiest bits in the premiere, and he tears into them".
The key industry publication says that Farrell's performance sees him "fully inhabiting Ray's wrinkled clothes, droopy mustache and weariness".
"There's precious little thus far to suggest he has many redeeming qualities, but Farrell conveys a suggestion that Ray might just have enough pride left to do the right thing here," it adds.
True Detective 2 begins on Sky Atlantic on Monday June 22 at 9:00pm.
