Doesn't have that same feel. S1 felt so cinematic. The shots were beautiful. The wides especially were just gorgeous and the use of tilt shift...it was just so good for a story where you didn't know who was the crazy one. That teaser up there looks so...conventional. Maybe it'll feel different when they make a real trailer?
It's also no longer directed by Cary Fukunaga... S2 is directed by Justin Lin (aka from the Fast and Furious franchise).

Not sure about the casting this time around. Personally not a fan of Colin Farrell, but that might work for him in this type of show as he is a douchebag. Haven't seen Rachel McAdams in much other than the Notebook and Taylor Kitsch ruining Gambit in Wolverine.
Then again my respect for Matthew McConaughey went up after last season...so I'm open to changing my mind.

I thought Rachel McAdams character was the most interesting. it's going to be impossible to live up to the hype of the first season which delivered all the way around but compared to most garbage on TV it looks like it has potential.

I disagree about the opening song. I love it...captures the mood that True Detective goes for, which I call "dirty sexy". Seven is a great example of this tone. The opening sequence with the music and visuals reminded me of Seven. Anyone that's played the Hitman games and has heard Jesper Kyd's music...it's the same deal.
I dislike Justin Lin's direction for this series though. Everything is too clean and too Hollywood. I loved Cary Fukunaga's work on S1 and his use of tilt-shift, center composition. It was gorgeous and totally fitting for the series.
Yup! Totally loved it. Not a huge fan of any of the stars but they all seemed to play their role well. I'm hoping I become more of a fan of any of them by the end of the show. Great music and mood throughout as well.

I agree with it being too Hollywood, but the season is still early so I've still got hope. The subject of this season seems to be more of corruption vs the occult in S1. S1 started the grimy/creepy vibe off right from the get-go (first scene with the dead girl) while S2 took time to introduce the characters first before any 'meat' of the story. I didn't think that was totally necessary though...cmon HBO give your audience some credit - we can figure the characters out on our own.
S2 feels much more conventional than S1 but yeah, we'll need some more episodes first.
I loved the occult setting of S1. It made the whole thing just so gross but you can't stop watching it. The whole Yellow King and basing it off a REAL BOOK made it so creepy.
