Summary/Abstract: The two- season crime drama is based entirely on the authorial concept, with dominant role of the screenwriter/showrunner Nic Pizzolatto. The article delineates the specifics of the authorial organization of the creative process of the tv series, its artistic, economic and organizational consequences, and the production context. The individualistic, authorial character of the creative process may be both the reason of the enormous artistic and commercial success of the series, and the reason of the failure it met in the second season.
