3	* Errol Childress watches ''Film/NorthByNorthwest''.
4	* Several concepts (The Yellow King, Carcosa etc.) are named in homage to ''Literature/TheKingInYellow''.
5	* Cohle's line "L'Chaim, Fatass." is reference to a line uttered to ComicBook/TheKingpin by his former consigliere as last words in an issue of {{ComicBook/Daredevil}} by Creator/BrianMichaelBendis.
6	* The Tuttle family name is a hint that they're all in this together. "All in this together" is a line from ''Film/{{Brazil}}'', as is the surname Tuttle.
7	* [[http://www.unnecessaryg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/TD-s01-1.mkv_snapshot_25.52_2014.05.07_05.25.19.jpg This]] shot of Maggie sleeping in her bed is suspiciously similar to the memorable [[https://kelamun.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/lit1.jpg opening shot]] of ''Film/LostInTranslation''.
8	* A SerialKiller keeps his mummified dad around, who used to be an AbusiveParent, just like Norman Bates does in Film/{{Psycho}}''.

12	* For his visit to Chad in the mall, Ray picks up a MSN-03 Jagd Doga mobile suit model kit from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'',
13	* Velcoro admits he isn't exactly ''Series/{{Columbo}}''. Frank later asks if he's supposed to wait for Velcoro to pull a "Rockford," referring to Series/TheRockfordFiles.
14	* There's a scene that takes place under a big ol' billboard for ''Film/AmericanSniper.''
15	* Frank Semyon's plot to surreptitiously buy up land in order to profit when it is later bought by the government is a common one in Los Angeles noir stories, appearing in both ''{{Film/Chinatown}}'' and ''VideoGame/LANoire''.
16	* Velcoro's [[spoiler: near-death experience]] has overtones of David Lynch, particularly ''Series/TwinPeaks''.
17	* Woodrugh's fiancee and mother watch ''Film/SplendorInTheGrass'' in their motel room.
18	* The subplot of a robbery having an effect on the main plot is similar to that of ''Literature/BloodsARover''.
19
20	!!Season 4
21	* In one of Annie Kowtok's pictures, she is wearing an Music/ArianaGrande shirt. Apparently Leah used to be obsessed with her, and this gives Danvers an idea of how old the picture is.
22	* In episode 3, Hank Prior threatens to accuse Danvers of pulling a "[[Film/TheGraduate Mrs. Robinson]]" on his son Peter.
23	* The polar research station is called Tsalal, the EldritchLocation from Creator/EdgarAllanPoe's ''Literature/TheNarrativeOfArthurGordonPymOfNantucket.''
24	* [[https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/true-detective-season-4-ending-who-killed-annie-scientists-1235908415/ Per Issa Lopez]], the subplot with the severed tongue is a reference to the movie ''{{Film/Audition}}''.
