Even with impressive performances byColin Farrell , Vince Vaughn , Rachel McAdams , and Taylor Kitsch , 2015 ’s mirky noir serial publication could n’t uncover the captivating quandaries of that first provocative excursion . Viewership taper off , Reddit theorizing fizzled out , and the solar day after the finale were understood .

True DetectiveSeason 1 saw Rust and his spouse Martin Hart ( Woody Harrelson ) reflecting on the experiential warfare of luminance and dark that hold out inside all human beings ’s tenderness . Neither looked all that quick to puzzle out another example . So where could it go from there ? Would we flash back to Rust ’s unseasoned days ? Could a new peck of detective try guidance from a sage - like mentor ? Maybe the philosophic son - of - a - kick have enough record hop in his step to work out … One . More . Case .
