Video Description

The year was 2014, and the whole world was gripped by this Southern Gothic dread and philosophical brooding, which was created by none other than the HBO Show True Detective! The first season of the show had an atmosphere so thick you could bottle it up, and amongst the fans. It was not just a hit. It was a revelation! The show, set in Louisiana swamps with existential monologues murmured softly with haunting tracking shots, crystallised this as the best season that was ever seen in television history. However, things started to fall apart. Each season came with new angles, trying something new. Some of them were noble, while the rest can be best described as baffling. So now, you have to wonder. What happened? How did the show that started off with such a huge bang whither away with a barely audible whimper? Well, that's what we are here to unpack. Let's get to it. #truedetective
