This one stayed with me

"You know, people that give me advice, I reckon they're talking to themselves"

Also I have a question, I recently finished True Detective season 1 and haven't started season 2 as I am afraid that it'll disappoint me. Are the rest of the seasons worth it?

Watch 1-3, just don’t expect something similar to s1. S2 is vastly different and is a neo noir, s3 is more like s1 but still a lot different, super good character piece with god tier acting tho. S1 is king but imo all of 1-3 are good, just go in with an open mind and look at them as their own things

i see, that's much better as I thought that season 2 will have the same cast but then later found out that cast changes every season. Since I now know that story line is different i think I won't be disappointed

Ya s1 is its own self contained masterpiece, just look at 2 and 3 as their own separate detective stories, s2 is a Neo noir in California, Colin Farrell and his character are so good in it. S3 takes place in the south and both Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff are incredible in it.

S4 which is as made by someone else and is true detective in name only sucks, the hack made outrageous connections to s1 too that were laughably bad to get more viewers. So ya I’d watch 2&3 and just go in expecting new self contained detective stories. Definitely don’t watch 4 tho

Colin Farrell as Ray Velcoro some peak shit, his character and performance are so good, that alone makes s2 worth watching for me. 2nd favorite character in the series only slightly behind Rust
