Is "True Detective" season 2 bad, or just bad compared to season 1? (lemm.ee)

Watched season 1 back when it was first airing, but never got around to season 2. People seem to hate it but I can't quite tell if that's because it wasn't up to the standard of season 1 or if it was just bad TV.

Should I skip it and go straight to season 3? Or is it worth watching on its own merits?

It would have been fine if they'd either removed Vince Vaughn or made him the main story.

He was acting like he just saw Jeremy irons in dungeons and dragons and thought he was being too subtle. He had 0 awareness that there were other actors in the show, he made every scene a Shakespeare's soliloquy about how intense he was.

That was the problem, everyone was acting it 15/10 intense, and you can't have every character be s1 rusty, woody actually did a great job as the straight man keeping it from devolving into a huge mess.
