second season was about city-level corruption. i guess the first one was too, but at least it wasnt about just money but about a satanic cult with rituals and shit and a fat serial killer. they need to amp it up, not down.

Well there was a bunch of weird shit with prostitutes and illegimate children and animal masks, porn etc. It's just that the dudes doing it weren't pagan devil worshippers or whatever. The first one was about a decaying cabal of rich families with a history of conspiring in murder and child rape. In the second one the rape, murder, and corruption was still ongoing and unresolved at the end. The real difference was the atmospheric menace hanging over season one suspended by rust's depressive realism. There was a suggestion of supernatural horror to go with the dark metaphysical stuff. The second season suffered by trying to marry the philosophical occultism of the first season with an L.A. Chinatownesque sense of the futility of earthbound corruption. People have seen enough of the latter and wanted more of the former, which was original.

Second season would have been ok if they got rid of some of the awful dialogue, recast Vince Vaughn, and completely cut out the gay tim riggins character and the whole private mercenary army nonsense. Then you'd be left with a decent enough film noir plot.
