But they didn’t just settle for letting moderator Chris Hardwick ask the new cast questions, while taking some other queries from the audience. No, J.J.

(This post contains spoilers. You can read my thoughts on episode one and episode two of True Detective, season two.) Riot shells, the kind police use. That’s what brought us to this place.
