While watching True Detective Season 1, it was pretty clear that most of McConaghey's dialogue, if coming from the mouth of any non-McConaghey actor, would have been awful. I'll watch Season 2, but without Daddario, the magic is gone.

That is a good description, but in the interest of full disclosure, there is a scene where Colin Farrell's character drives to the home of his son's school tormentor, drags the bully's dad out on the lawn and beats the [expletive] out of him with some brass knuckles. He then grabs the kid, stares him in the face and tells him that his dad took the beating for him and if he ever bullied anyone again, "I will come back here and butt [expletive] your father with your mother's headless corpse" so it's not all dumb lingering shots of highway interchanges and smoke stacks.
