I hate Vince Vaghn but also I hated Matt but after watching season 1 he quickly became one of my favorite actors.

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.

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.

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.

BB · « **Reply #44 on:** July 10, 2015, 05:42:45 PM »

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.

El Diablo Blanco · « **Reply #45 on:** July 10, 2015, 06:23:31 PM »

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...

mdn250 · « **Reply #48 on:** July 11, 2015, 09:15:58 AM »

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.

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.
