True Detective Season 2: 10 Reasons To Be Excited

7. Going Into The Unknown

Much like the first season, a large amount of secrecy has surrounded the actual story that€™s going to unfold over the eight episode run. There was talk by Pizzolatto initially of it featuring €œthe secret occult history of the US transportation system€ but he has since confirmed that€™s been scrapped. It does, however, retain those links, with a bizarre murder, reported to occur on the eve of a major transportation deal, acting as the catalyst that brings the four lead characters together. Outside of that not much is known, and there€™s something to be said of not giving too much away, and keeping plenty of surprises in store. HBO execs have said that this season is €˜more exciting€™, although of course they would say that, but from what we know it€™s going to be a rather different story, yet one that manages to retain the same feel of the first season.
