Season 1 is the gold standard. Do yourself a favor, watch season 2 first lol. It wasn't bad unless you compare it to season 1.
True Detective, Season 3

is Season 2 a stand-alone like Season 3 was?

Season 1 was referenced in Season 3. You can want Season 2 without season 1.
season 1 was very good

They are all stand-alones. Season 3 was very good, season 2 was awful, and season 1 is one of the best things I've ever seen.

I didn't mind season 2. Just finished season 3 over the weekend. LIked it - was solid. Think it was said above - the acting was fantastic but there were times the whole thing didn't come together for me. Sometimes I think when they get too cute with plot twists and timelines something gets lost.

Yeah agree with this assessment overall. 1 was super hard to follow it up. 2 was ok, I enjoyed it but again tough to follow up #1. 3 made a real nice comeback no doubt, solid.
The standings are 1,3,2 thus far. But all worth watching.

Finishing with Season 1 - thought the acting is phenomenal, but finding the story a little harder to follow than Season 3. I've had to rewind several times and watched portions of a couple of episodes more than once. Tonight I'm watching the finale, then I'll move onto Season 2.
