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?

Season 2 wasn't bad. Even season 1 doesn't measure up to the idea of season 1. I tried to rewatch it but couldn't get far. The dialogue is kind of cringe. I enjoyed it once, but it didn't go anywhere too interesting and in hindsight the self important dialogue isn't earned.
