Resumo: From the study of the first season of True Detective, this paper analyses the image of the TV viewer as a detective in search of meanings and relations present in the stories watched. The HBO show, which is guided by unreliable narrators, summons a viewer interested in "drilling" and rewatch the story, to use the terms coined by Jason Mittell (2009). Throughout the paper, we reflect on the extent to which this viewer posture, which parallels the suspicious reader predicted by Paul Ricoeur (2010), constitutes a critical movement beyond the series or is exhausted in a metanarrative pleasure. In the case of True Detective, the very possibility of a speech to contain a truth is put at stake, in what can be its main contribution in regard to the performance of the television viewer-detective.

El programa de HBO, cuya trama es guiada por narradores no confiables, convoca a un espectador interesado en "perforar" y "reasistir" su narrativa, conforme terminología acuñada por Jason Mittell (2009). A lo largo del trabajo, reflexionamos en qué medida esta postura telespectatorial, que encuentra paralelo con el lector desconfiado destacado por Paul Ricoeur (2010), constituye un movimiento crítico más allá de la serie o se agota en un placer metanarrativo.
