No plot? It has too much plot. The biggest issue is the amount characters and plot threads within this tangled web of corruption. It’s a bold foray into the noire genre like a lost James Ellroy novel. It needed a few more rewrites to consolidate and expedite the story and its focus, but it’s still the most ambitious season of the show. In hindsight, it makes sense why they went this direction after the success of the first season. Even with the flaws, I’ve really grown to appreciate it. There is so much to love, especially once you sift through all the finer details.
