Was that whole hollywood film set scene just an excuse to take a jab at Cary Fukunaga? I was actually wondering if it was a Fukunaga cameo because it seemed too out of place otherwise. But after googling, it sounds like Pizzolatto may be feuding with Fukunaga.
So, What’s Going On Between Nic Pizzolatto and Cary Fukunaga?
Also, the article above references plagiarism allegations about Rust Cohle's character/dialog which I had never heard before, but seems to be serious. Especially because nothing so far in Season 2 seems to approach being that interesting.
