Still not exactly sure what was happening in season 2, season 1 was brilliance though.

Still not exactly sure what was happening in season 2, season 1 was brilliance though. In a nutshell, writer had an ego trip but didn't have enough story or had too much story for 8 episodes, but lost the story in those 8 episodes. And he wrote too many characters who all spoke the same, directed to act the same, which made them feel interchangeable, and because it was all done within 8 episodes it made them feel unapproachable. Season 1 worked because our leads were well defined and the story wasnt lost.....because there was a singular director.

A better season 2 of "True Detective" would've been "The Night Of", starring John Turturro as a banged up old defense lawyer. Not as good as "TD Season 1", but better than the season two story.

Yep.
The writer blew his whole load the first season. He probably worked for years polishing that script, then finally BAM! They're doing the show!
But now he's only got less than a year to come up with a second season in order to CASH IN!
So he busts it out, but it's shit.
They need a team of writers on these projects, like Game of Thrones when old man George fell too far behind.

Yeah, I agree that can happen, it's like a debut album where the artist has spent their entire life crafting it.

Did some minimal research..... and it seems Pizzolatto is "co-directing" 6 episodes...... oh boy.

If this season is solid..... be prepared for people to come flooding again. I bet you that if season was solid, not necessarily on par with season 1, but just good.... there wouldn't have been such a drop off in stars.

I just felt it dragged too much, I felt it lost what the plot was after 3 episodes, even lost who the characters were. I'll give it another try at some point since I do own the bluray, but yeah.
