True Detective Season 2 Finale.

I liked it. A lot. The last episode and this one truly saved this season. There was no way that anything that they did was going to come anywhere close to season one. Having 4 leads was their first mistake this season and then the ridiculously convoluted storyline and huge batch of secondary characters added insult to injury, but for the final two episodes they cut right to the bone. We all knew exactly who the good guys and bad guys were and what the important basics of the story was.

Safe to say that if season one never existed I think that this season would have been given a lot more praise. Ya, the first 6 episodes were tough to wade through but 7 and 8 brought it all into focus.

Biggest regret for me?

Spoiler for Spoiler:
Burris didn't take a shotgun blast to the face during the final standoff with Ray. Really hated that ****er.
