    I only watched a bit of True Detective season 2 but I could tell it was not going to be nearly as good as the phenomenal first season

      To be fair, it was the highest possible bar to clear. True Detective season 1 is arguably the best TV has ever gotten, it was just perfect from story to pacing to acting and cinematography

      TD Season 2 has to be one of the biggest falls from grace I’ve ever seen in a TV show.

        As weird as it sounds, I liked season 2 TD a lot and on some level I think it’s even better than season 1.

        I initially watched season 1, then season 4 (skipped 2 because of the seemingly bad feedback) and then watched season 2.

        I really liked that season 2 was more down to earth and had more of a realistic-gritty vibe. I really liked the ending as well. It felt real.

        Season 1 was great, but in comparison to season 2 it was more about style. I liked the setup of season 4 (and it was cool to see Jodie Foster), but I didn’t like the ending.

        But yes, I do think season 2 of true detective was better than season 1.
