I know there are many writers (and a few trolls) who see Season 2 as a mere distraction to the supposed greatness of Season 1. Don't get me wrong: Season 1 was good, great even, but the final episode was a let-down. The unwashed, illegitimate and slow villain somehow managed to kill perhaps a hundred people while they drove by him day-by-day and never suspected? Lector he ain't. But the painful and bittersweet ending to True Detective Season 2 was one of the most emotional moments I've ever had sitting in front of a screen. The music, cinematography and plot-writing combined not just to form a mood, but to stimulate your thinking process. It wasn't just "stimulation", either but balls against the walls action, gun battles, exposing conversation and even some good old-fashioned begging. Some of the more well-heeled reviewers have said that the season was like a run-on stream of action and pointless dialogue. The truth is that the season was more down-to-earth and believable than TDS1. I don't understand the psychology of bashing a new version of something you like but some of these reviewers need to examine their motives.
