I don't think the direction was the biggest problem.

eh season 1 was carried by him and fukunaga so...
Yes he should direct it without a script. That's surely the way to go!

Season 1 is one of the best television shows in existence. If he can bring that back, I say go for it.

After that shitshow that was season 2, I'm not surprised that probably we won't be seing season 3. And I'm not sure if I wanna see Rust again. It was flawless and I loved every single second of that character. Maybe it's better if they leave it right there. It had a kinda perfect ending. Unless they're doing a prequel about that time that Rust was an undercover agent. That would be cool.
Hate for season 2 is way overblown. It sure wasn't the best thing ever BUT it tried to be something different. Ultimately it failed to capture the hearts and minds of the people who loved the first season, BUT
and this is a big ole but
Pizzolatto told everyone multiple times he couldn't turn out a proper season within a yearly cycle. He also was incredibly up front about trying something completely different with the second season. Viewer expectations added with the second season not getting enough time in the oven are why this series is where it is right now.
Nick Pizzolatto can make another great season of this show, and I fully expect him to do it. Taking time to explore other projects does not mean he's not in the planning stages, and extra time is absolutely the thing he needs.
I wish people would give the guy a break. There's nothing wrong with trying something new, and given time, he can deliver.

Yeah, it's called Sicario.
Aww you missed out. The True Detective Season 2 thread was one of the most fun threads to participate in on GAF at the time it aired.
The hate Pizzolatto gets here makes me want to throw up. He spent like 3 years writing S1, he owns that shit, the idea that Fukunaga is the one responsible for its success instead of him is insane. It does not exist without him, full stop. Pointing to S2 as some kind of proof of him being a fraud makes no sense, HBO demanded he pump it out in 8 months and everything else he's done till then (including novels) was excellent.
There's also the fact that S2 hate is totally overblown but that's another conversation.

Fargo Season 2 was different from Season 1 and fans still loved it.
The reason people don't like Season 2 of True Detective was because it was an incomprehensible mess.

That's pretty good. I like that. I'm taking it. It's mine now.
It was average and had its ups and downs. People despised it because it was a follow up to one of the best seasons of anything ever, if it were its own show it would have been received with "that was kind of weird and cool".
I guess you just totally skipper past the dude not being given enough time.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Why would he be in season 3? Isn't this an anthology? I like how anthologies go against the grind of "more, more, more of the same until it's bled dry".
I never knew I wanted this!!

I been saying it since it came out. It portrayed crime in that scary and downright eerie way that Season 2 tried to do and failed at. Didn't even need to rely on weird Lynchian imagery either.
Naw, if it were called something else, it'd still fail. The only difference is that less people would have watched it.
I'm not even hating trying to hate. I watched the whole thing as it aired. And a couple months ago I tried to give it another chance. I made it 3 episodes in and stopped. There are just no hooks for these characters. You don't like any of them. They're all overdramatic pieces of shit in the most boring way. The mystery has no hooks. At no point do you get invested in the mystery or care. Dialogue tries way to hard to be edgy. I'm not saying it should be good with the less-than-a-year time he had to write it. I'm just saying we shouldn't defend a rush job just because it was a rush job.
