I'm actually fine with it being an anthology show, it keeps things fresh in my opinion...It allows the show writers to come up with new and interesting plots, as well as introduce us to more thought-provoking characters. 

I don't think True Detective is the kind of show where it matters about the murders and stuff like that. To me, the murder investigations just seem like a kind of backdrop for Rust to be able to express his self-indulgent nihilistic views about humanity, and other philosophical bullshit.

Which to me is quite fantastic, it's brain food to me.
