I thought it started badly with the title song, luckily that was the worst item. True detective 2 was more intricate than the first offering, requiring much more in the way of story development. So it took a little longer to get into it.

The acting was very good from all of the principal players, I enjoyed all of the episodes equally and I think it provides a really good contrast to the first series.

I also have to mention the music from Lera Lynn which was a first class backdrop to the series.

More please.

I was surprised by this new TV series, as I haven't been used to the BBC producing a well thought out, piece of drama for quite a few years.

One review that I saw in a national newspaper said, 'Yawn, Yawn' it's all been done before. I am glad I read that after I saw it. If it has been done before, then I haven't seen it.

The acting was really good, and although the subject matter and gore was about as far as you would want to go on TV, I would sooner have it this way, than toned down to suit the more prudish element amongst us.

As this was the first outing, normally you get the feeling that the actors are finding their feet with their new characters. I didn't feel that with this episode, they all looked comfortable in their roles and the show was much the better for it.

I am looking forward to episode 2, to see if they (BBC) can keep up the good work.
