Season One took Nic Pizzolatto eight years to write IIRC. It shows, too, the first season is near perfect, but that kind of pace could just never work for a TV series. HBO ordered another season and he did the best he could do but it fell flat. Same for S3 before he left the series.

I really hoped Night Country could be a new chapter in the True Detective mythos but it's shaping up to be the second worst in the series. Not even Issa López's directing can save the production issues that are apparent in the final cut.
