I actually like S.2 but I know I'm in the minority there. The extreme minority.

I liked season two also. I thought it was good. It just shouldn't have been a True Detective season in my opinion.

Season 1 set the tone for a serial killer vibe, and season 2 went in a completely different direction. It was more of a Mafia/Gangster drama.

If season 2 was a standalone HBO Max series I think people would have liked it a lot more.

Yeah that's fair. I think I like it just because I find that kind of Los Angeles underbelly interesting. Same with Jackie Brown, Repo Man, Chinatown. LA is just so spread out and weird as someone who's lived in more urban, packed in cities. Just find it fascinating.

Season 2 was a weird mulholland drive David Lynch typa vibe and tbh it didn’t mesh well with people.

In my opinion, season 2 is a good show, but it's hurt by people binging season 1 and rolling right into it.

Season 1 was truly special and has a wildly different tone, setting, and set of characters. Going into 2 off the high of 1, especially expecting more of the same, is a recipe for disappointment.

Rewatched this year and it’s better than it got credit for back during airing. Tough to follow S1, which I think skewed the opinions on it.
