the majority of the actors and actresses did good to great jobs, given how shitty the writing and stotylines were. Rachel McAdams in particular did a great job given the dreck she had to delivery. Have to feel somewhat sorry for the actors and actresses that had a part in this second season; I'm certain they felt they were going to have the stellar material shown in the first season. McAdams in particular probably fared to worse with the bad reception for the second season given how hard it is for actresses to 'make it' and fare well in Hollywood. Also tougher for her since the True Detective role played against roles she typically held in the past and she may get pigeon-holed going forward.
