Somewhere in the middle of this thicket, there was a compelling noir about a bunch of people caught up in a conspiracy almost too big to comprehend, but it kept getting lost behind frankly baffling storytelling decisions.” PLUS: Season 1 and Season 2 were exactly the same, why sideline the strongest character in the finale?, explaining the Season 2 finale plot, there was no sense of place this season — L.A. was somehow made boring, Season 2 will eventually be hailed as a cult classic, the best thing you can say about the finale is how beautiful it was, expect HBO to renew True Detective even after this mess of a season, 15 life lessons from Season 2, Season 2 had more respect for its audience than Season 1, and True Detective Season 2 unapologetically ended on its own terms.
