True Detective Preview: What To Expect From Season 2 Episode 1

By James Hunt /

5. A Death Kickstarts Everything

A serial killer was the catalyst for the events of season one of the show, and once again it€™ll be a murder that acts as the cause for what happens in its second year. The show will be getting straight into that, with the synopsis for the episode reading: €œThe disappearance of a city manager disrupts a lucrative land scheme and ignites an investigation involving three police officers and a career criminal who is moving into legitimate business.€ It€™s already been revealed in the season synopsis that a bizarre murder will be bringing the characters together, so we could well be seeing that as soon the the first episode, although it€™s more likely it€™ll be the discovery of the dead body, as opposed to witnessing the murder itself. There€™s still plenty of scope for that to be as dark and twisted as you€™d expect though.
