True Detective - Season 2

I still have no clue who the black dude was the cop met with. The big problem with this season is how convoluted it is.
 
Here is a comprehensive breakdown of what is happening for anyone who is confused or baffled by what's happening.

Well, season 2 is over and I'm not entirely sure how much I liked it. At the moment I'd rate it a 7/10 overall (Season 1 was a 9/10 for me). A lot of confusing plot-lines to follow, but it does get cleared up by the end. Let's hope Nic P keeps things simple for Season 3.
 
I wanted to like this, as near-nihilist Los Angeles modern film noir is a great genre (contemporary James Ellroy, if you will), but this was just too sprawling and stilted. Too many unknown names mentioned in a way that made it seem like we should care about them. The Stan episode is a case in point. So much talk of a dead character we literally met (alive) once.

Watching the first episode, I thought this would be a show where I cared about the plot and not the people. The opposite surprisingly turned out to be true, I started to relate to Ray after a few episodes and Bezzerides was a great character. I even started to like Frank. But after seven episodes I still didn't know who was who of Burris, Dixon, Geldof, and Holloway, and that's a big problem in a plot-driven TV show.

Too bad, because I think this had great potential.

I see in the other thread you already found out, but for others who are curious, there was a database problem and many posts from the past few days were lost. This was not intentionally done by the FE team.
