Every detective has that one case that pushes them to the brink. A case so personal and intense it haunts them forever. Investigation Discovery's (ID) all-new original series REAL DETECTIVE brings to life the real homicide cases these seasoned pros can never forget. With narrative driven exclusively by the detectives themselves, each episode ventures deep into the mind of a homicide detective as they describe in vivid detail the one case forever ingrained in their memory. Inspired by HBO's acclaimed series "True Detective," REAL DETECTIVE blends documentary and scripted techniques to transform these first-person accounts into spine-tingling cinematic true crime television. Guest-starring Michael Madsen, Devon Sawa, and Brendan Fehr, the eight-part series REAL DETECTIVE premieres on Thursday, January 7 at 10/9c only on Investigation Discovery (ID).
