We don't know this True Detective Season 2 that you speak of. It went from the first season to the third season. We've all agreed that season 2 never happened. You must have missed the memo. It should be pinned at the top of your Slack channel. It should definitely be listed in HN's policies.
I always thought the Alabama3 track was just a remix of Cohen's
His song ‘Nevermind’ was used as the opening theme for season 2 of True Detective. It has a similar mood imo.
