Sorry, Jim but you\’re incorrect.

Fukunaga has said since the end of season 1 that he would have no direct involvement with season 2. The continual EP credit was/is given as part of his agreement to do season 1. Just like Harrelson and ole JK Livin\’, or Walter Hill on the Alien movies. Like Jonathan said, it\’s all about getting a piece of that action for as long the show is being made.

That\’s just smart bitness.

I find it funny that he didn\’t go around disclaiming he had anything to do with Season 2 until after it came out and people didn\’t like it. Before it came out, he had no problem suggesting he was still involved with the show even though it\’s clear that he had nothing to do with it. Executive producer credits are like honorary degrees….given to someone for doing nothing.

Basically means he just gets a big check every so often for doing nothing. "True Detective" obviously isn\’t "The Simpsons" in terms of popularity, but I remember Sam Simon or someone else saying Simon — who only worked on the first season or two as co-creator and executive producer — basically got like a $20 million check every year from "The Simpsons" for doing, essentially, nothing. It might have been more frequent too. Like every other quarter. I don\’t remember. Imagine that: working for two years and getting a $20 million check for the rest of your life.
