I like Ricky Greenwood's frequent porn exercises in nostalgia, taking many popular genres of 1970s drive-in movies and recalling them in a XXX format. "Wanted" has him casting Blake Blossom as a female FBI agent in a vintage red Mustang tracking down serial killers out West, with sheriff Isiah Maxwell as her partner, but "True Detective" this ain't.

The story (and any semblance of logic) peters out quickly, as we're treated instead to a series of lengthy sex scenes spotlighting Blake and her co-stars Kylie Rocket and Charlotte Sins. Violence is minimized, and suspense is nil. Director Greenwood certainly doesn't have the benefit of a big budget to stage action scenes or setpieces, as Digital Playground's days of ambitious productions like its million-dollar blockbusters "Pirates" and its sequel are a thing of the past.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
