Someone has surely written on this before, but- what are the odds that season two of True Detective was intentionally scuttled for hitting too close to home? I haven't watched it since the premier but at the time I was disappointed and thought it a massive letdown after season one. But could it have been mangled in the writer's room or in production? It's fine to suggest that white Christian preachers in Louisiana are engaged in ritual sexual abuse, but in California? In Hollywood? Unthinkable.

I watched Lonesome Dove based on your recommendation and it's probably the best western I have ever seen. Have you read the book series and if so are they worth reading beyond the first one?
