Controversial opinion alert! My colleague just re-watched season 1 of HBO's True Detective – it's available now on NOW (formerly Now TV) – and it got me thinking back over the show as a whole. And, yes, I have a soft spot for season 2 – which is now over a decade old, if you can believe it.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the original season, although with some of Matthew McConaughey's dialogue almost unintelligible, it's a sometimes taxing watch. It's worth it for that final payoff, of sorts, but I respect season 2 for treading a totally different path. Check it out in the trailer below, if you missed it the first time around:
