Generally speaking, it depends on the skill of the actor. Makeup artists can age and/or *deprettify attractive actors when necessary, so I do not think someone should be ruled out simply because of his/her looks (i.e Charlize Theron in Monster). Whether the actor can pull off the role is another story.
(Yes, I made up that word. )

The world sees them as pretty. They are both very popular (for their looks) with males and women who like women.
perkana wrote:And even if they were "pretty", why would no one take them seriously if they are actually good detectives. I just don't understand you.
But I already explained. You could make the same argument about two talking rabbits as detectives. If you want to cast a quirky detective comedy for ABC, then such absurdly unrealistic casting might be fine.
Anyway, Julianne Moore and Michael Shannon is as far as I got in my hypothetical casting.
i agree...young hot detectives would lose them credibility. it would be like veronica mars or scooby do. maybe older and hot would work. someone like diane lane or maria bello.
I liked Remington Steele and I thought Pierce Brosnan was hot. I guess I don't care how someone looks like or how old they are as long as they convince me they're good.

Jessica Chastain was offered the lead but hasn't accepted/been confirmed. Thoughts?
On the bright side, she'll be in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar with Matthew McConaughey:

That trailer for Interstellar looks cool. It seems long, like it gives away too much story. Seeing that it's Nolan I'm sure that doesn't matter since there will be twists.

i bet it takes place in the central valley or the desert. like louisiana those places could "capture a certain psychosphere ambiance" like louisiana.
More details have emerged about the cast and setting of “True Detective” season two, which will have three new leads, according to creator Nic Pizzolatto.
In a recent interview with public radio program “To the Best of Our Knowledge,” Pizzolatto revealed that in the new season’s current form, “we’re working with three leads. It takes place in California — not Los Angeles, but some of the much lesser known venues of California — and we’re going to try to capture a certain psychosphere ambiance of the place, much like we did in season one.”
He added, “The characters are all new, but I’m deeply in love with each of them. We’ve got the entire series broken out with a couple of scripts, and we’ll probably start casting in earnest in the coming months.”
The show’s anthology format means that season two will be entirely self-contained and distinct from its freshman year, with no plans for season one stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson to return — something that differentiates the series from FX’s “American Horror Story,” which recycles actors from past seasons in new roles.
Pizzolatto previously told HitFix that “True Detective” season two would be about “hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system.”
Last week, rumors circulated that “Zero Dark Thirty” star Jessica Chastain was offered a role in season two, but the actress denied the buzz on the red carpet at Cannes. “It’s an awkward thing because when all that attention happens — it takes away from whoever plays the role,” she said. “I’m a big fan of the series. I’m going to watch the second season just like I watched every episode of the first.”

Finished watched the Blu-ray collecting the 1st season last night. Overall, I was a bit let down by the ending, in that it seemed like it was shoehorned into the last episode as if maybe there was some last minute decision to crunch the season down to 8 eps versus maybe 10. Still, greatly enjoyed the show, moreso because it was full of great dialog and compelling lead characters than the somewhat mundane (by now) occult murder conspiracy.

Dear creep, all HBO shows that take place in Louisiana and begin with the word "True" aren't the same.

Yeah I was wondering what spawned the change cause I swore you liked this show.
