If it's half as good as the first season, I am IN!
McConaughey was fantastic.
-
Not thrilled about Vaughn. Maybe he can act differently than every single other character I've seen him as....but who knows?
-
Vaughn has a big ass head in person
-
farrell is a fucking shit actor really
-
First season was just pure awesomeness.
-
If they come close to season 1 I will be baffled
-

So basically TD is now a way for washed up actors to get back in the limelight. Next year will be Jennifer lawerence trying to get people to forget about her 2345623 nude photos she took.

True detective 2: swingers edition
Vince Vauhn plays a stereo salesmen with a penchant for house parties and las vegas card games. Cue Colin Farrell drunk from ''pints'' playing the slot machines mourning his former job as a rouge undercop who pissed off his boss one time too many... an unlikely buddy relationship forms..
No I hope they do something else

4 of the 8 hours of the season is spent on their car ride to Vegas and the shenanigans that ensue
-
They should have hired Zyzz and Ben Affleck instead of these two faggats

Well at the Vegas parking lot when Vince checking his hairdo in the rearview mirror, Zach Galifanakis pops out of the trunk..

X3... Great F'In show!
-
liked the first season. i think having diarrhea mouth vince vaughn is a big mistake though.
-
Started out great, but the show really took a dive after the fight between Woody and Matthew. The rest after that point was either rushed or did not make much sense given the meticulous nature of Matthew`s character. Plus, the yellow king was garbage.

It did feel rushed, but episode 6 where he goes undercover and hits the hood was epic. they had 8 episodes to tell the story. Wonder if Season 2 will be 8 or more

Agree. An excellent build up but the story arc needed more than 8 episodes to pay off. The end was rushed.

The end was a total cop out. They create a million loose ends and never tie them up. It's much easier to create interesting questions than to give satisfying answers and shows like TD, Lost and the original over-prmise under deliver show: the x-files. The high point was definitely the hood robbery episode. That was epic!

Would love to see gal and cswole signed on for Season 3.

Exactly and he's not in it. :( Oh and their choice for the new characters is not good.
-
I hate Vince Vaghn but also I hated Matt but after watching season 1 he quickly became one of my favorite actors.
-
Starts now......
-
Vince Vaughn is just not selling it for me. He is still that goofy looking guy from Old School and other comedies trying to be a mob boss. I think he was horribly miscast. The first episode was sloooow, but I read beforehand that it is slow with the entire setup of the series falling in place then episode 2 it takes off running. Also Rachel McAdams acting is meh. While she is trying to be serious or intense she still seems to have a smile on her face. She isn't selling it for me.
That Taylor Kitch and Colin Ferrel are nailing it though. Hopefully the focus shifts to them and we get less Vaugh and McAdams.
-
It's crap.
-
I tuned in just in time to watch Farrell rough up that butterball and kick his dad's ass

I loved S1 and even though this is a totally different program in reality, I will stick with it because it's the same writer. Sure, last night was a little slow and I also read that it was a build-up even through the first three episodes. (Quite the contrast from last season, where the first four were epic.)
I'm a little confused as to why these three are being put together on this case, though. Doesn't seem realistic at all and so far, VV is also my least favorite.
Some good titties and I also like the panties shot.
-
Part of the problem is going to be the comparison of season 2 to season 1 when they are completely different stories. Would have been better off instead of calling them Season 1 and Season 2, giving them a name like True Detective - The Yellow King and this season as True Detective - LA Story or some crap like that. Let the viewers know to not compare.

Just watched the whole first season a few days ago,it was really great.

I like that idea. It gives you the association with the title for instant recognition but also separates itself from one another. But this would have been my choice for the Season 1 title: "Marty Eats the Hot Stenographer's Ass."
-
I liked the first episode, some great cinematography and that curly haired bird who Kitsch is fucking is hot as hell. Hopefully we'll get to see her tits and ass. Also, it has some creepy undertones (the crow head mask and bizarre method of murder) like season 1.
-
Motherfuckkker , at that range it will be hard for him to pull through, just saying, unless it was salt pellets like in Kill Bill 2

I'm on the opposite end here, I think Vince Vaughn is nailing this role so far and I expect his character to get a lot darker as the show progresses.
But wow I did not see that ending to episode 2 coming!
-

Agreed.
-
3 episodes and each time I fall asleep mid episode. Just boring as fuck. The other day I was wondering if it sucks or if season 1 was that good so I went HBO on demand and watched the first 3 episodes and season 1 is miles ahead better than this shit season. I really don't care about any of the characters or the storyline. Just stupid all around.

I agree. It's still intriguing. Farrell and Kitch's characters are interesting. I have a hard time buying Vaughn as a tough guy. McAdams playing a role where she isn't the sweet pretty girl is kind of interesting.

That's exactly what happened. What a cop out. They either should have had the guts to kill off one of the main characters in the second episode or just never go there in the first place.

yea pretty lame , with 4 main actors on the show, one of them could of died right away

Even if it was rubber pellets, two shots at close range is enough to have him in a hospital bed for a good week. Doubt he'd be walking around. It was a stupid cliff hanger. Collin Ferrel's self loathing is hilarious. Like when he called himself a feminist because of his body image. Or how's a piece of shit with a shitty life. HAHA. The whole who killed Caspere is a boring storyline. Of course they made Klitch out to be a homo.
-
The problem with this show is people will be comparing it to season 1.
Season 1 was so good it was unreal.......at least till the finale >:(
Matt and woody knocked it out of the park. Matt especially. So far the story is not bad to be honest but based on season 1, I was expecting another masterpiece... anyways Ray Donovan is back :) so all is well.
-
This is just really bad neo-noir so far. The story is uninteresting, and most of the main characters just aren't strong enough to hold much interest either. They should've gone with older actors or established character actors instead. Just a tremendously ho-hum season so far.
On the flip side, Ray Donovan is looking very strong this year.
-
Yep. Kitch and mcadams both have a constant look like they have to shit. Everyone on the show is a sex deviant. Weak story lines. Vaughn is just not convincing. I continue to picture him with a cigarette in his mouth doing an iron cross.
-
i dont know whats worse This shit, or Ballers , previous season of Game of Thrones was also a massive snooze fest
-
This is a massive fucking letdown so far. I'm watching episode 2 of season two just now. Season 1 was fucking amazing; dark, brilliant acting...this series just seems cheap and poorly done so far. I wanted to give Vaughn the benefit of the doubt, but he is a dogshit actor.
Exactly how i feel, but maybe it will get better... Very boring for now, not liking the actors, Kitsch is probably the only one decent, for now... Season 1 was a masterpiece, both acting and story wise...
-
Loved the first season.
That girl from Texas Chain Saw is just off the charts.
The second season is bad. I tried watching it a couple times now...nowhere fast.
I would rather re-watch season 1 on bluray.
Agreed also with one of the above posts..Ray Donovan's first episode already blew this away.
MDN
-
What happened last night. Turned it on and about 10 minutes in I fell asleep. Woke up and the negro show with the Rock was on. Not even sure I care to catch up on episode 4 On Demand.
-
you didnt miss anything, the female det (i dont even know their show names) got suspended for sexual harassment from her coworker cop she blew ,
vince vaughn made a deal with some dudes for a big load of drugs he is buying to push through his night club and got his old apt complex infested with illegal mexicans ,
the other fag cop fucked some dude and woke up in his apartment , found out later he got a girl pregnant and proposed to her
there was a big shoot out at the end lots of people killed cops and by standers
really boring shit man
-
So I watched it. More of nothing. I bet you Vaugh, McAdams and Ferrell took the role in hopes of the career boost that Mathew got last season but if anything this may hurt them more since this season sucks ass and its happening on their watch.
-
i dont know whats worse This shit, or Ballers , previous season of Game of Thrones was also a massive snooze fest
Ballers is horrible. I turned it off halfway through the (only 30-minute) first episode. Will not give it another shot unless it starts getting rave reviews or something.
-
First 4 episodes of who killed Caspere sucked ass. Stupid storyline but I have to admit the show turned a corner yesterday. Seemed more real, better use of the characters. Was actually pretty good. too bad they wasted my fucking time with the boring ass first 1/2 of the season. Now it seems real interesting. It actually ended with me wanting more.
-
i can not believe there is only 2 more episodes left for this season
i mean what the fuck have i watched for the past 2 months ???
worst fucking season of anything i have ever watched
-

They wasted so much time to get to the story. Episode 5 should have been episode 1 and started from there. Might have been a decent show. Ani is the worst detective in history. Every lead she's found is linked to her dad and his church yet she hasn't figured it out yet. Pretty lame.
-
5-6/10 in my estimation, it's picked up, but is still a pale imitation of the greatness that was season 1. Episode 6 should of been maybe episode 3 or so. Lots of boring filler.
-
I think the ghost writer for season 1 either died or fell out with nic.
The drop-off in quality is just too great... Even if the writer of the original was trying to suck he still wouldn't be this bad.
Its picked up a bit but is still shit.... Thank goodness for Ray Donovan and Hell on Wheels.
-
i can't even blame Vince Vaughn for this even though he sucks in it, the storyline and writing is just amature and boring as shit

This is well known. One of the producers was Cary Joji Fukunaga. This person kept Pizzolatto in check and reigned him in to keep the story flowing. They had a falling out after season 1 and Fukunaga left the show. Pizzolatto had free reign this season and the pace sucks, the story telling sucks and the show sucks
-
I feel a bit better that many of the guys on here are seeing S2 the same way as I am. It has been confusing and not even interesting enough to try and figure out. With S1, I would catch a repeat during the week to see it again and read the full episode breakdown/review, as well. That's how into it I was.
So far this season, the shootout was cool and the whore party. Other than that, it's been slow to develop and boring.

Wasn't Pizzolatto accused of plagiarizing some little known novel for portions of the dialogue from Season One? I never heard more about that after it made the news but Harrelson and McConaughy even joked about at the Emmys when it was nominated last year.

This season sucks so bad I wouldn't be shocked if HBO doesn't do a season 3. As for Vince Vaugh, Rachel McAdams and Colin Ferrel I don't think their phones will be ringing off the hook like McConaghy's did after last season.

Shit, shit, and More shit
I wont watch anyone season, I will wait read review and if good ill marathon watch it on hbogo ,if more shitty reviews ill keep skipping seasons of this shit
-
What the fuck was the ending about? So lame. It was obvious from the first time that Frank met the Mexicans that they'd kill him at the end. The whole who killed Capere ended with a thud being that it was two orphan kids that you never fucking heard or saw until last night. All of those ghosts haunting frank? Seriously? What a drop off from last season. Ray who just went Rambo killing a dozen people decides to act like a pussy and mail it in when the black SUV starts to follow him? Couldn't he have called Annie and told her he was being followed and have her waiting on a street corner and take out the black SUV? The dumbest thing was Annie having Ray's kid. So basically she was pregnant for 9 nine months, then waited maybe another few months on top of that to finally give a journalist all of the info. Why did she wait a full year to do that? Such a shit show from the beginning.
-
it had Big city cop, CHP cops, little city cop, Movie Star extortion, hippy father, cam whore sister, childhood molestation, Cop wife rape, Paternity testing, Russian mob, mexican mafia, Jewish mafia, Fagggot cop , gay homo love quarrel , video cam pornographer, Whore house ring , back door Relestate deals , Dirty Mayor with a son? and a Russian mail order whore?, black ops military , and thats just off the top of my head, and with all that pile of shit, i dont know what the fuck i watched , i have no idea what the story line was all about

It was super predictable. That big shootout with the Mexicans. Every cop, including trained SWAT members died except for those three. Really? Then when Frank yelled at the Mexican cowboy in a 5 second scene, you knew that was stuffed in there as his ending. Then 5 episodes of who killed Caspere, to have them go to some random movie set and a story of blue diamonds that came out of nowhere revealing some orphan killed casper. That ended with a big THUD. Why did Annie wait over a year to turn that evidence over to a journailist? Of course when Ray was driving you knew he wouldn't end up alive escape, but having him go to his kids school to salute him? WTF was that? And his kid carrying around the police badge? Is a huge 6 inch by 6 inch block. Where the fuck does he keep it? Frank who had his big plan, takes out the mafia but then returns back to his home to pack his bags. Don't you think he'd have packed his bags first and just left immediately? Why the fuck would you return home when you know people will be looking for you? I did laugh though when the kid was trying to stab the black police chief that the cops shot them both. LOL. Blacks are the target even when they're the victim. There was so much wrong with this show. The ending showing people we've never seen before yelling at Frank. That was lame and him seeing his wife yet he fell and died about 20 feet back. HAHAHA. what a horrible show.

1: Why was there an APB on Ani? She went to the party using her sister’s name.
2: Why did Paul go to the meeting "to get the pictures?" These were digital pics, there were probably 1000 copies. What era does Nic Pizz live in when you can "get the negatives?"
3: Burris telling Ray to "hand over the papers" and Holloway telling Paul to "hand over the papers." Uh, of course NOBODY would have made Xerox copies, right?
4: How is it Ray was framed for the AG’s murder? Because he got in her car? What evidence?
5: Why didn’t Ray, while on the run, or Ani, just go to cops in LA and turn themselves in? Being arrested is better than being dead, and the Vinci cops would still have to prove guilt and, don’t they have evidence (contracts etc) to prove what is going on? And isn’t it well known Vinci is a crime capital?
6: Why did Ray allow himself to be killed after looking at the trees? WTF?
7: Paul goes to the meeting with no flack jacket?
8: Ray and Ani decide not to follow Paul, but to get drunk and screw? Nice back-up.
9: Ani decides she was "proud" she turned-on her abductor when she was like 8 yrs old? WTF?
10: And this is the biggest howler: why wear a f-ing bird mask to kill Casper or shoot Ray? WTF did a bird mask have to do with ANYTHING? It’s not like the "wild" sex parties were full of people wearing freaky costumes…

you would think a highly trained professional police chief? would be more cautious of spilling the all the beans at a train station lobby while sitting behind a guy (the twin) with a hoodie right behind him, it was almost to comical , he meets up with Woodrugh in an abandon subway station in the dark, yet reveals everything in public to Ray Velcoro with one one sitting right behind him ::)

I assume you cut and pasted those. Sounds like a chick's writing. But to point 10. Casper kept a bunch of animal masks at his home. He like to have weird dress up sessions. The guy took the mask with him and Ray happened to be at Casper's home when Lenny was there.

My final grade 5.5/10. The whole thing could've gotten shaved down to a decent 2 part/4 hour mini series if they didn't try to over complicate things. I think HBO will bring it back for 1 more season, just to capitalize on whatever good will the series still has left. I bet they hire a bunch of good pulp writers to ghost write it behind the scenes too. Pizzolatto trying it himself was just amateur hour, especially for a big league production house like HBO has turned into.
P.S. for anyone that needs/needed help with some of the backstories (I know I did), a good synopsis of the story up till the last episode can be found here -
http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/08/03/true_detective_season_two_a_guide_to_the_plot_of_this_confusing_season.html .
For those looking for a new series, Ray Donovan is still very strong this year.

I stopped watching after that ridiculous shoout out scene in episode 3 or4 . That was a barrel of lols. Shit show
-
A bad story, badly executed. A total waste of time.
-
This whole season was a bag of shit. I kept watching hoping that it would turn a corner, but despite speeding up a bit in the second half of the run, it still didn't deliver at all. No real storyline, so many different threads/people to try and follow, and then a completely bullshit ending with the killer twins. And then Ani and the ginger chick wander off to Mexico for over a year and don't bother telling anyone?! That was the worst bit for me, after a whole season of watching them tracking down the 'bad guy' and then fuck all happened at the end.
True Detective 3 needs a complete overhaul if they go ahead with it.

Extremely disappointing season and that last episode did nothing to salvage it. It played out like a Steven Seagal movie and was shit from the get go. The least they could have done is include an ass eating scene. Season 1 didn't even need that to be great but did so, anyway.
-
Very weak,especially it having to stand up to the first season. Colin Farrell is a solid under rated actor, was the only intriguing thing in it.

Far from underrated and is well known to be one of the best actors. Where are you getting this from?
Furthermore, Vince Vaughn did an impressive job as Frank. Easily the best acting and actor in the show. If someone were underrated, it would be him. He did an amazing job in my opinion. Played the part perfectly.
-
Not as big a drop off as it seems, just down around 20% over last year. HBO is willing, and wants a 3rd season, if Pizzolatto is up for it.
-
I think the writing could have been a lot better and they wasted Frank's character.
Also, he was very careful and certainly would not let himself be cornered like that by two cars.

Maybe the wrong choice of words. Should say surprised at how well he played the part. Vince Vaughn did do a solid job as Frank. I like pretty much everyone else had very high expectations after the first season.

everyone thinks they can play tony soprano, but its not so easy it it seems , right vaughn ?

Good Lord. I finally watched the last episode last night and that is exactly what I was yelling at the screen.
The characters were terrible, the writing was turgid, the plot was incomprehensible and the ginger kid was a fatass.

Farrell surprised me because it's been ages since I'd seen him in anything, and didn't realise he's as good an actor as he is.
You really liked Vaughn's performance though? I wanted to like him. If hoped this would be a redeeming role that would show he's capable of more than shitty comedy's...but it proved the opposite for me. It's like he didn't even believe himself that he was capable of delivering a serious performance. he tried too hard and his movements and facial expressions looked amateur as hell, IMO
I think that the whole thing suffered from bad character development. In TD1, you had McConaughey's character being the "dark, brooding guy". In TD2, they capitalized on that by making every damn character "dark and brooding".
-
The writing and character endings were obviously a reaction to criticism of the first season when people had complained about McConeheys character not dying from the obvious fatal stab wound and the female characters being throw aways. This season all the lead men died and the the main female and weakest female characters lived on.
This is what happens when you don't have a strong producer telling the writer to get his shit together and not write to in reaction to criticism.

they took him for a million bucks in a suit case, his Audi , and the 5' 6" midget mexican wanted 6' 5" Vaughn's Suit ::)
absolutely stupid ending

It's the horrible writing that made Vaughn seem like a bad actor. His stupid sayings were hilarious and something no one in real life would ever speak. It's like Pizzolozo got one of those calendars that has a different saying each day and decided to stuff them into Vaughn's dialogue.

Real life?
If they made this like real life, do you know how boring it would all be?
Do you really want that? ???

Haha that's true. They were all a bunch of miserable bastards. The ginger fat ass was my only Ray of sunlight in an otherwise dark and monotonous season.
I bet the Pro-Life bastards were cheering to find out the fat kid was Ray's and that it proves a raped woman shouldn't have an abortion because you never know....
-
I reckon even the pro-lifers would have aborted that kid ;D
looks like Ed Sheeran

I think there were a lot of plot loopholes one being is if frank was driving a new car provided for by the Armenians he paid of in an earlier scene then how did the Mexicans find him so quickly unless the Armenians also ratted him out.

He went back to his room to pack his shit, which meant they were already on to him. Mexicans are industrious fuckers.

I believe they gave a clue that the Armenians did rat him out. It was lame of him to have everything planned out so perfectly except for having his bags packed and ready to go. Any criminal knows you can't go back home after a shootout like that. Listen to the conversation with the Armenians before he leaves and you'll hear the convo. Also that Audi is the same one he drove off in after they torched the Range Rover. I think the Armenians tipped them off about his money also because as soon as they got to the desert they pulled out the suit case and placed it in front of the gang leader. The only thing they didn't know about was his diamonds since he did that in secret. They knew Frank was done and that's why they drove him into the desert and planned to leave him there.

If you haven't seen season 1 then watch that. probably the best 8 episode show ever. Just don't bother with season 2. Would be interesting though to watch season 2 without knowing how epic season 1 was and see if you can be unbiased and actually enjoy it.

i actualy liked season 2 myself sure wasnt like season one, but still a decent show.

The whole yellow king was stupid as shit actually and made no sense.

Season 1 was the best 8 episodes of any show I've ever seen. Season 2 was a let down. But I knew going in that nothing could come close to matching, let alone topping season 1. My overall opinion of season 2 is that I liked it a lot and overall it was very good.
-
2 sucked balls, had a few good scenes, but way too convoluted.
