701501, I'd also encourage everyone to read James Ellroy's "LA Quartet"

It's his series of books about Los Angeles from immediately after WWII until the late '50s. The season is heavily inspired by them, especially "Big Nowhere" and "White Jazz," the two of the series that haven't been made into films (the other two are Black Dahlia and LA Confidential).
If you do decide to read them, I'd advise against Googling James Ellroy and True Detective Season 2, unless you feel like spoiling the books before you read them. Which you shouldn't.
