Brief Thoughts on Season 2 Episode 1 of True Detective · 4:49am Jun 22nd, 2015
Okay, don't worry for those of you who don't want spoilers. We're one episode in, and I'll try to keep them to a bare minimum.
This is darker and more morose, and due to having more characters, feels more scattershot then episode 1 of season 1, and has what I like to call 'beaten city weary' in contrast to the first season's 'nightmarish fever dream' tone. The pace is slower as well.
