re: True Detective S2E3: "Maybe Tomorrow"

here's a question (may be a dumb one) about the next season. As people have mentioned in here, S1 was likely so tremendous bc it was this guy's life work that he put years and years into and he did it exactly his way....then with S2 he basically had to live up to it again on an extremely short (comparitively speaking) time frame. The network essentially said "great, now do it again and have it done by [X date]".
My question is, in situations like this why don't they just let the creative people take their tiem and just finish when they finish? Obviously, you can't give them COMPLETE freedom or it could be like 5 years between seasons. But take books for example. I don't read GOT but hasn't GRRM taken years and years between books? I'm sure the publsiher (and fans) would love to have each one come out on a fixed schedule, but he's like "nah, IDGAS. It'll be ready when it's ready". Is that kind of things not ever done with television?

One word, money

Leveraging momentum from S1 to earn more money. Longer they wait, the more people forget about it and it loses viewer momentum.
There is a fine line though between getting it out quick enough to piggy back that momentum and too quick that it hurts quality.

That's not what happened at all. Pizzolatto basically pitched a couple of different shows, TD being I believe the third idea after the first 2 were turned down. They liked the TD concept, so he went and wrote all 8 episodes in like 3 months. TD S1 was hardly his "life's work".
