I'm rewatching season 1 this week - Rust has a line "Vision is meaning. Meaning is historical", which completely sums up the failure of S2. Despite everything Rust said in the previous 8 episodes, his last line of dialogue is "Well, once there was only dark. You ask me, the light's winning."
None of it meant anything. This was an emo rant about how everything in the world is corrupt and awful. And for a show called True Detective, there was almost zero detective work done. It's just a bunch of #### happening. It is in service of nothing.
I really hate this season, the more I have to think about it. It wastes two outstanding performances and a badass Leonard Cohen track.
