Season 2 was great to watch live while everyone was talking about it and making up greentext monologues of VV's dialogue. I've been meaning to rewatch it at some point but I'm worried it won't hold up without that same social element (like if you watched LOST for the first time starting today).

But it's a little bit difficult to do without resorting to vague claims like 'the acting' or 'the cinematography'. It is The sum of its parts but those parts aren't easy to recall and name. I was entertained by S4E1 and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season, but I think this gets at the core of why everything after Season 1 will be inherently subpar in comparison. It's essentially impossible to define what exactly makes Season 1 distinctly "True Detective". You can list out all of the elements, but checking more of the boxes wouldn't make a new season feel more like "True Detective". If I took a stab at creating a new season, I'd think the most core aspect would be the theme of nihilistic detective working an extremely bleak case to ultimately find some measure of meaning to life, while incorporating some of the following:
In any case, it's interesting seeing the suits at HBO try to decipher what made the original such a phenomenon
