Not great. The first few minutes gave me some The Terror vibes (and a little Resident Evil lol) but after that it was a rote introduction of too many boring characters, dull writing, mediocre performances and very little narrative momentum. I’m going to wait on the reviews for the rest of it before watching more

Edit:
The soundtrack was weirdly obnoxious too

I’ve only seen Season 1 (and one episode of 4 lol) because I saw the bad reviews when 2 came out and wrote it off. Started watching it finally after listening to the recent trueanon episode reviewing the show as a whole. It’s pretty good, and takes on new meaning post-Epstein. The dialogue is clunky and there are some confounding editing decisions here and there. Otherwise I don’t get the hate.

I don't totally get the hate for Vince Vaughn in season 2. He wasn't a standout like Rachel McAdams but I'm not sure how that character was really supposed to be different than as seen in Vaughn's performance.

I think every actor gave their best with the dialogue they were given. Pizzolatto REALLY needed an editor. You know it's a problem when every character has the same weird vocabulary that hasn't been common since maybe the 70s (it especially made me cringe anytime ended a sentence describing something with "like". No one says this!)
