I also finished rewatch of True Detective S2 which I was also an extra on, also a stand in for one scene of a supporting cast etc It's definitely better then people give it credit for.
They needed to cut out at least one character and maybe more. Woodrugh the bike police story needed to be cut out, it's thin overall. The two regular detectives besarides and the colin character should have been the focus on the police side of it. The Vince Vaughn character rounding out the non-pd side of it.
I did find the colin character and his obsession with the redhead boy to be bizarre tbh. A little too much into the boy who they're not even sure is his son. At the end part it is proved that he is the father. Kinda makes no sense of course, the mother and him are both dark complexioned dark hair, usually redhead children have fair-blonde-redhead parents. I have relatives like this etc
The talking was always way too hushed and tried to sound "epic" all the time, they needed just regular tone and such to be more authentic. There are also too many characters and plots all over, especially on the "bad" guy side of it. The political people and such. The guy Caspar who we never meet in the show AFAIRemember maybe needed to be in the show as living and then getting taken out so we had something concrete to relate to with the hunt as to who did it and took Vaughns money-land. Got lost until almost half way through the season really.
Then the ending is kind of ridiculous in how the two main male characters died. Colin just had to see the boy from 50 feet away one.last.time before leaving the country. Then they put a tracking device on his car, and he knows it. WhyTF get in the car and drive all the way out to nowhere, thus making it a lot easier for the pd hit squad to take him out. Go on foot and lose them duh! Drive the car to a public mall where they're not going to be able to just have a shootout, duh. DUMB.
Then the Vaughn boss guy just killed off all the doublecross guys with tactical weapons and tear gas gets a ton of money, all good just leave the country. Well just driving on the street the mexican gangsters somehow jack him take him to the desert and this is all just for some small deal about dealing drugs in Vaughns club, which burned down anyways beforehand. So for some little nonsense he gets knifed and left for dead in the desert, very stupid really. So Besarides goes to Venezuela with Vaughns SO and they present the story of the corruption and such to some rando reporter there. Eh not the best ending tbh. Although S1's ending isn't really that great either.
But overall it's a good installment of True Detective.
