I'm 20 min into Season 1 of True Detective, does Matthew Mcconaughey's character get less annoying?

I know the show is supposed to be really good, but his character's personality is really making it hard to immerse myself in the show. I know it's only 20 min but he seems like an edgy teen, not a grown ass man. It's like he's not like other girls detectives.

Also I know they're state police, but if that murder happened in a small town, and he just moved to that area, as his partner, I would totally suspect him of the crime lol.

I'm going to stick with the show obviously, I just find his dialogue in the investigation scenes, and his monologue about religion and humanity annoying.
