    Did anyone watch Season 2? The reviews I heard were terrible so I never bothered, but I remember season 1 being amazing. I also heard the original show runners were back for this season?

      Yeah, I did. Don't bother :P. Season 2 just had no clear vision and completely average writing. Sadly Fukunaga isn't returning as a director for Season 3; so I don't think it'll be as good as...

      ok, here's the deal with S02. It wasn't bad and especially not as bad as everybody says.

      The issue with S02 is that everybody had such high expectations after S01 -- and when the story didn't have the same structure or feel, everybody was disappointed. Is it as good as S01? No. Is it better than a lot of other beloved shows? Yes!

      The thing with S02 is that its a really slow burn with some decent action. The plot is confusing as shit, but if you can track it, its enjoyable. If you read the first section of the wikipedia page, it won't spoil anything, but will give you everything you need to know -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Detective_(season_2)

      I've watched the season twice. The first time I was with the masses in my disappointment, but a year or so later I rewatched and enjoyed it.

      S02 is kind of like matrix ii- it's deeper with the philosophy. I found it as good as s01 but its strength lies along a different axis.
