I never rewatched season 2, but I do think it fares better if you watch it in like three days or so. Not one episode each week. It did peaked at the end though, season one peaked halfway through.

WTFCary Fukunaga isn't entirely sure if he has a reputation for being difficult. But it's something he's heard from time to time. He heard it, obliquely, in the wake of shooting HBO's True Detective—a show that became a phenomenon following the fourth episode, which included a virtuosic, six-minute-long, unbroken tracking shot of Matthew McConaughey stalking his way through a robbery that turns into a bloodbath. Some people, such as the show's creator, Nic Pizzolatto, thought Fukunaga was being willfully idiosyncratic just for insisting on a shot like that. "Nic wanted to cut it up in post-production," Fukunaga says over lunch on a humid summer afternoon in New York, where he lives and where he's currently finishing Maniac, a surrealist Netflix series starring Jonah Hill and Emma Stone as two patients in a pharmaceutical drug trial. "He did not like that I was pushing for that one at all."
Well thank fuck that didn't end up in the post production room.Now Where Was I ? wrote: ↑August 27th, 2018, 6:12 pmhttps://www.gq.com/story/cary-fukunaga-netflix-maniac

I hope that Nic is smarter now, with 3rd season, than he was back then.
Well Pizzolatto is a writer and Fukunaga is a director, so I'm not that surprised by this. But luckily we got one of the most memorable scenes on TV in the end.
Returns January 13, 2019.
Nice pics
I still don't have much faith though
That second season was so... Bad
Pizzolatto's ego was the issue, I hope he has checked it at the door, and truly lets the directors do their thing.
