Fukunaga did not write any episode of True Detective. All of True Detective was written by Nic Pizzolatto.

To give a little more info, the directors who direct episodes aren’t “random people”. The show runner has directors that they trust. A high-caliber show that lasts several seasons usually has some consistent directors working on it. A specific episode might be assigned to a specific director because of the director working with a certain actor who has a big episode, or some other aspect that’s suited to them. And talented tv directors are in very high demand. Look at the IMDb for someone like Lesli Linka Glatter or Michael Uppendahl.

Also on the writing side just remember that even when it’s credited to one person there’s almost always a writers room. I don’t know specifically about the example of White Lotus, but for example every episode of Fargo season 1 is credited to be written by Noah Hawley even though a writers room was used.
