re: True Detective Season 2 Ep. 2: Night Finds You

I didn't watch the first season, but I checked out episode 1 of season 2: it was awful. The writing was pathetic (the female cop's entire perspective of the world was literally just told to the audience), the characters are all too familiar (stereotypical drunk cop with a broken view of the world? real fresh), and the directing really just laughable. Can anyone honestly say they didn't burst out laughing on that last shot of the episode when the 3 detetectives arrived at the crime scene?
All that said, I'm giving this season one more episode tonight. I can chalk up a bad first episode to problems in setting up a story; hopefully things will start to improve now that we got the shitty character intros out of the way and we can get into the meat of the story. I'm a pretty hesitant though, as poor writing and flat characters tend to carry across episodes.
I need to go check out season 1. I can't imagine it struggling near as much as the first episode of season 2 did given how highly it was received

the directing really just laughable
