True Detective Season 2 on HBO

[Nails]

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

[El Diablo Blanco]

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.

[Hulkotron]

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.

[El Diablo Blanco]

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.

[Nails]

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.

[BB]

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.

[f450]

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.

[Nails]

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

[Joe Pietaro]

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.

[El Diablo Blanco]

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.

That's the article I read. Thank you.

[Nails]

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

[El Diablo Blanco]

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 -

For those looking for a new series, Ray Donovan is still very strong this year.
