Finished True Detective season 1. Can’t recommend it enough, although I won’t watch the rest of the series as I feel there’s not much more the show can provide and their reputation is low. Starting The Wire now
Season 1 was a high water mark for TV in general, so anything that followed had an impossibly high bar to clear anyway. That said, I’d still say just skip season 2.
I thought season 3 was good, not great. It fits the themes well, but the talent and cast chemistry simply do not compare. Still worth a watch down the line, I think.
I’d recommend giving season 4 a go. It’s got a new show runner and Jodie Foster is amazingly good in it. And it’s creepy a fuck in a good tension building way. And it’s setting really notches up the whole thing.
