Genius season! exceptional from the traditional storytelling pattern

No matter what they say in the reviews ,This Season is better than the first one the way i see it

True Detective is one of the greatest TV Series ever made . Probably the best Cop Series ever, 1st season was great in all aspects ,It had more black mystery and darker crime HAIL THE YELLOW KING , lt had a less complicated storyline & characters...aaand it had the same repetitive story telling pattern "HEROES GO THROUGH HELL TRYING TO GET THE BAD GUYS , THEY SUCCEED,THEY SURVIVE.THE END" a solid pattern that worked for centuries. but we want something new.

That's where 2nd season comes, it has a more exceptional pattern ,an outstanding approach to real life like nothing I've ever seen ,The story and each Character are a representation of how real life works. they're complicated yes but hell! real life is even more complicated and most of its endings are sad.

and FRAANK! why didn't you take off the suit man ?! is that worth your life ? apparently not , it wasn't about the suit it was about the diamonds in his pockets remember ? (oh! yeah right its all coming back) he could have give the diamonds and saved his life but MONEEY was more important to him . his wife kept telling him to take whats left and start e new life but you know frank "NO REST , NEVER STOP MOVING". I liked it in the end when the ghost of his wife told him "You stopped moving way back there" like if it was way back when he lost his money and that's where he should've walked out

***MORAL : Contentment is an eternal treasure (arabic proverb)

The scene where The rail project and the catalast group continued its Corrupt work and the scene where Toni Chessani made his oath and became mayor makes you open your eyes to this truth : Even If they cut off one head, more shall take it's place (Hail Hydra! wait that's captain America) anyway the Creators took great care of showing how corrupt the government systems are ,its all the same in real life.."if you know where to look"

So that's it , that is Life ,it will remain corrupt no matter what we do as long as there are humans , giving you the common sense of the series "MAN IS THE CRUELST ANIMAL".

Though, unlike all the tragic endings this one gives you a bit of something that makes it up to you , like when you see that Volkoro & Ani had a Child , and Frank's wife as she always wanted kids holding him , also the way Badass Ani wears her hidden knifes & pistols like nothing ever changed

Aaaand the music maaan!!! it fits perfectly! , this Series & Season are genius , but not everyone understands genius , it is only for high standards & great minds.

So whoever wants to see the same repetitive stuff of : "HEROES GO THROUGH HELL TRYING TO GET THE BAD GUYS ,THEY SUCCEED,THEY SURVIVE.THE END" you have a lot of series out there.

we hope to see a third season that is all different from both seasons in all aspects , not because the two seasons weren't good , they were great! , but because renovation is always a good thing especially from gifted creators like Nic Pizzolatto.
