The second season of "True Detective" is a disappointment, and not just because it doesn't live up to the first season. With the exception of Farrell who did a great job as a Detective who's life was spinning out of control, all other actors are just delivering a mediocre performance. The Story is extremely over-complicated. While watching I did not feel any sort of emotional connection to the characters or the crime. The atmosphere was great but atmosphere alone isn't enough to save a show. The ending felt rushed and got overshadowed by illogical actions. Also missing is the amazing camera work from Cary Fukunaga, the first season's director.
This is without doubt one of the best TV series I have seen recently. (Trust me) The story-line is great from start to finish and the acting is superb. The show grants you a authentic and gruesome look into the world of organized crime in Naples and it it comes without any Hollywood clichés. Gomorrah feels just so real. (The show was shot on location in an actual drug-ghetto) If the show continues on this level, Gomorrah may just be the next Sopranos. Go watch it.
