Hopefully Pizzolatto got his shyt together.
The problem was the show was rushed.He tried too much in the second season, too many points of view and different characters made it very convoluted. It should be Mahershela and a good second character with a bunch of minor characters in between.
He took a long time with the first season. He waited until it was perfected.
The hate for season 2 is completely hyperbolic,theres some good stuff in there. It just needed more time in the oven. Couple rewrites at minimum. Trim the fat and clean up the dialogue.
I think they realized the mistake of rushing the 2nd season and won't make the same mistake again.
They also should have used 1 director again.
