That was fucking great. Loved it.

I'm a big sucker for a good modern gothic/lovecraftian mystery story

Even though he wasn't in it tons, the guy who played The Yellow King was great

nice! you've pretty much finished the show, the rest is completely optional and there are probably better ways to spend your time

you gotta watch season two now as well, but not to enjoy it like season one, just to witness the abject travesty of it.
I tried watching the first episode of season 2 and I stopped lol.

It just rubbed me the wrong way right off the bat.

I'm either gonna move onto Twin Peaks or The Leftovers next

I hear Twin Peaks is similar to True Detective so that may be the better way to go

True Detective crashes and burns faster and harder than any series I've ever seen going to a new season.

Season 3 is really well done and worth a watch as well, haters will hate. I am in agreement that season 2 is pretty awful.

3 is definitely worth watching. Ali and Dorff carry it.

Twin Peaks is my favorite show of all time, but I would not call it similar to True Detective in any fashion, other than theres a mystery being investigated by police.

The way it was described to me was "it's a small rural town where there's a murder that has possible occult connections"

Dunno how off-base that is.

Regardless, I've been interested in watching the show for years so I may as well dive in

I do wish they'd gone a bit more unambiguously cosmic horror but it's definitely one of the best seasons of TV, ever.

I mean, that definitely isnt an inaccurate summary, but I would say if nothing else theres a stark contrast in the settings alone - Twin Peaks taking place in the Pacific Northwest near the Canadian border and True Detective S1 taking place in the South. That alone gives the two shows very different vibes.
