Watch: 'True Detective' Season 2 Trailer Shows Its 'Best Self'

If you were at all disappointed by the first “True Detective” teaser , then odds are you won’t be by the second. What was slow, methodical and silent before is now fast, energetic and talkative.

In the dark, moody spot, we learn there’s a missing girl that only Rachel McAdams’ sheriff character seems to care about. We also get a glimpse into the confused mind of Taylor Kitsch’s highway patrol officer and see the bloodied knuckles of Colin Farrell’s pessimistic policeman.
