My fav pod, always insightful and explores themes and elements that go beyond the show itself.

Aron isn’t self aware to get that he traded JWs for progressive politics. I want to like these guys but the political lectures are stupid people saying stuff they think is smart

A. Ron runs around the word “pulp” but I think he means TD is drama meets pulp. Even the title True Detective sounds like a pulp magazine. Since it is an anthology series and the showrunner bowed out with his idea, it doesn’t seem weird they took another original idea and put a Yellow King...Read full review »

Bald Move is the best in the biz! Always the first podcast I go to after the episode! Keep it up fellas!
Le0hart via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/24
Been listening to all their shows for years.
John Walter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/24
As always, Bald Move is the best. It’s remarkable when I sample the competition then come back to Bald Move. These two are the best. I’ve already left as many superlatives as I can think of in other reviews so here I’ll say it’s like the listening equivalent to driving an old used car...Read full review »

If you're binging any new show, if the Bald Move crew has covered it, you owe it to yourself to give their recaps a listen. Adds a lot to the experience of the show.Read full review »

The Bald Move guys make each show I watch more enjoyable. Their TD coverage and speculation is excellent.
YanksFanJason via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/19
It’s like these guys watch the show once and then just hit record and start spitballing. Half the time they seem like they miss key details, which would be the reason most people listen to TV recap/analysis podcasts, right? Also they can barely remember the character names. Then they go off on...Read full review »

I usually prefer podcasts by women, but I thought I’d give these guys a go for my re-watch of season 1. I think season one is all about how “you don’t own your woman the way you thought you did”, and the boxes and boxes and rows and rows of dead and missing girls being a result of a whole...Read full review »

Jim and ARon are the best and I’m so glad they brushed off the True Detective dust for this new season. They always find a way to bring humor to even the darkest shows.

Again!
Manny CR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/19
Skip this show and just read Reddit for 15 minutes, get all the info you need about the TD. It's a lazy rehash of things they read online. But even while cribing other people's words, they get loads of incorrect facts and misunderstand a lot of information. And are you in the industry?...Read full review »

Bald Move brings you yet another podcast for an amazing series. If you aren't a die hard Bald Move listener than are your really watching the show at all?Read full review »

A deep dive into true detective
Timber222 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/20/17
Listened to at least 3 episode-by-episode podcasts following season 1 of True Detective before finding this one. Lo and behold, my search is over! The first season of the TV anthology is so multilayered, only a podcast as thoughtful as this one can really do it justice. The hosts go way...Read full review »

A cold Beer on a Sunny Day, a Smooth Malbec with a Tender Fillet, great TV with a Bald Move Podcast! Thanks Boys The Golden Age wouldn't be the same without you. Cheers Jason from England.

Entertaining listening, fun way to recap the shows.

Great job!
Dub2305 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/16
I really enjoy Jim and A.Rons reviews. I found these two when I was looking for a supplemental podcast for season 2 of True Detective. I ended up going back to listen to season 1 as well. I also enjoy their Fargo and The Leftovers coverage as well. As they are -- struggling through the Walking...Read full review »

These guys made the show bearable. Was confused that they didn't hate the show as much as I did but they are always entertaining.Read full review »
Meganlight via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/15
Listened to every podcast for this year's True Detective. Loved it. Even went back to the first season, re-watched, and then listened to every podcast they did on season one. Love the pyschosphere talk especially. Smart guys and funny. Highly recommend!Read full review »
mpnewhouse via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/15
Jim and A.Ron are my favorite podcasters for True Detective and pretty much any other tv show I watch, whether that be for entertainment or critical engagement. They provide the best blend of humor, professional analysis and research, and self-awareness and cultural sensitivity I've found,...Read full review »
Stocktart via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/15
I look forward to this podcast every week. I really enjoy their analysis and take on TDS2. I think they speak for everyone in saying this season is nowhere near as good as season one. I've listened to these for for a while now across various shows and listening to their take definitely adds...Read full review »

Good insight
Ginger666 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/15
True Detective requires effort; it is not Law and Order. Season 2 is geometrically more compelling the more you invest in understanding its mysteries (and even its red herrings). To understand this series, I need to watch every episode twice and then hear thoughts from others who are really...Read full review »

I really enjoy listening to this podcast more than the other ones for True Detective season 2. I look forward to listening after each weeks episode for their insight and also to hear if I might have missed a small detail of any episode.
SlamMan78 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/15
Great podcast with knowledgable and entertaining hosts.
Stefan800 via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 08/05/15
Jim and A-Ron are the best. Every series they cover is better because of their podcast-- True Detective is no exception.
alexismichelleSD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/15
Jim and A.Ron are the best podcasters out there. Do I always agree with them. Heck no. Do they offer thoughtful engaging insight all while making me crack up laughing. Heck yeah!! I have tried listening to other podcasts of my favorite shows and none of them are as good and funny as these guys....Read full review »
Jolacla via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/15
These guys have forgotten the basic fact that the vast majority of listeners don’t hate a show that they would go out of their way to find, download, and take the time to listen to. Unless you are the 1% who loves to hear two guys talk about how much they hate a show don’t waste your time. Oh and...Read full review »
Rick Derris via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/15
This podcast done by Jim am A.ron is top notch and has a heightened production compared to the other bald move casts.
Magfx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/15
I enjoy the Bald Move guys' Game of Thrones podcast well enough, so I decided to check out how they deal with another show I enjoy. Unfortunately it just doesn't work for True Detective. I have no interest in listening to two guys whine about how season two isn't as good as the first,...Read full review »
Ellemills via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/23/15
At this point my only reason to continue watching season 2 is so I can keep in the loop with this funny, engaging, insightful podcast. Keep up the good work :-)
raffee_ru via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/22/15
This is a great podcast for any TD fans that find themselves thinking obsessively about the show starting Monday morning. While the Thursday releases are a bit late, they make up for it with an insane amount of content and analysis. good stuff
Jaylaud via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/22/15
The psychosphere segment especially illustrates how much time and effort goes in to making this weekly podcast. Nobody does it better.
dangerwhatevs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/20/15
Good podcast. I would give it 5 stars, but the excessive profanity in their discussions distracts from the content. They are clearly smart, well-read and insightful, so I don't get the f-bombs and GD's? Makes a good drinking game though; shot for every f-bomb....seriously though not bad.Read full review »

Love it!
Bronco Buddy Boy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/15
These are not True Detective/ Game of Thrones fanboys. There is obviously a love for the shows and a desire to see great entertainment, but if an episode is a dud these guys will call it like it is. Great recaps, analysis and predictions.

Awful
Das9582 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/10/15
I am rarely moved to rate or review podcasts, but these two men so annoyed me that I was moved to comment. I have tried to like this podcast but can’t really handle the basically idiotic level of criticism that they deliver. I think this statement (paraphrased) by one of them regarding the...Read full review »

Best True Detective pod out there along with the pod Too True Detective.
Bgdave39 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/15
New listener and gotta say as tepid as my feelings were on the season thus far this podcast has totally reignited my True Detective love. Love the in-depth analysis. These guys do all the legwork of scouring reddit etc to give you every ounce of the stuff packed into these episodes. Keep it up guys!
TKrone8970 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/15
I am completely hooked on Bald Move. Jim and A Ron dig deeper, bring more info and do more research about the shows that they podcast than any other TV show based podcast that I have heard. Listen to these guys if you want something more than hearing your idiot co-workers talking about a show...Read full review »
