The reaction to the second season of HBO’s True Detective has been less than stellar. It’s still an entertaining exploration of the darkness that eats at the souls of men, but certainly has lost something from the propulsive first season that seemingly churned out classic episode after classic episode. Perhaps instead of the too on-the-nose Leonard Cohen opening credits, HBO should lean in to the pulp history of the L.A. cop scene and use that as the new source material for the show’s titles.
