I was in a near fatal accident in 2016 at 2am in the middle of nowhere when true detective season 2 came out, i woke upside down in a burning car with the song "My Least Favorite Life" playing on max volume, cracked skull fracture arm, 4 stab wounds and a gsw from a 22 in the right arm. Worse night of my life. Couldnt drive without the song playing for a few years after
Really glad for this edit my friend...I think some of this only plays with the airport scene right? Was always looking for this track and glad you put it together. Lera Lynn's work has always resonated with me.
That's right, the episode-part is from the airport scene (and the "The mystery..."-bridge from it's ending). I'm very glad you enjoy it; thank you for your comment!

The story should've explored Velcora's fall into corruption as a gradual process with his kinda symbiotic friendship with Frank, utilising occasional flashbacks. Then have the show illustrate the moral ambiguity between official justice vs corruptive justice, with ideas such as the continuum of compromise being one of its key fronts. Get rid of the killer and Paul Woodrugh, put a bigger focus on Ani's dualism with Velcro as the traumatised but still good cop so they can compete for ideas. Have the story be about a tragedy of two cops investigating corruption, only to find they are on the opposing end of the elite social ladder. Simple, yet can be done elegantly. Have the cinematography theme be blue and yellow like the picture shown above, focus on landscape shots with high industrial areas vs desert California with the symbolic Western genre of old places clashing with new times. Character progression wise, Make Velcora a sympathetic anti-hero and push Ani towards the revelation of how to live in a corrupt world without relying on idealism.
The season definitely could've done very well with more focus on Ray and Ani from the start. Paul's story was kinda pointless aside from just seeing him occasionally do some cool commando shit. But Ray's fall from grace/becoming corrupt and compromised, losing his family etc took place over the course of 10 years or so. Way too much to fit into 8 episodes. Plus the season is depressing enough idk if I wanna see Ray going through a divorce and becoming more and more of an alcoholic while beating people down for Frank. I'm fine with picking up 10 years in lol. I agree with everything else you said though. This season had a lot of great ideas but the plot was so much more... convoluted and less interesting than S1. They could've narrowed the focus to Ray, Ani and Frank and made the human trafficking angle a bigger part of the story rather than something they stumble across while investigating some old politician's death.
