True Detective season 2: A Stranded Overloaded Mule

My girlfriend and I both lost interest in last night's episode of True Detective (season 2) and turned it off. It's like a stranded  mule overloaded with vices like a glitzy Las Vegas Xmas tree in a casino where all the dealers are insane. 

On a character level: No one is interesting or relatable. 

Storyline: Not sure if there is one. 

Conclusion: Its like they cut the brilliant cinematic skin right off Season 1 and draped it over some cancelled cop show made in the early 2000s.
