Twitter Came Up With Amazing Casting Suggestions For Viral Hashtag #TrueDetectiveSeason2

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's new HBO series "True Detective" is being touted as "The best new show on television." Even Obama is a huge fan!

Twitter, too, went nuts over the show yesterday when #TrueDetectiveSeason2 became a trending hashtag.

Here's how it works: pair the hashtag with a photo of an unlikely duo and voilá, McConaughey and Harrelson are humorously re-cast as the Olsen twins, Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski, or Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito.

Casting directors take note, here are some of our favorite ideas below:
