True Detective ~ Season 2

[Rudeboyelvis]

This has got to be the biggest let down since "John from Cincinnati" for HBO.

Horrid direction, laughable script....It is even making accomplished actors (Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams) look ridiculous. Taylor Kitsch's character (who is the only bright spot of this wreck) is really the only reason I've managed 4 episodes.

I guess it would be unfair to expect this season to live up to season 1, but this dreck is unwatchable. WTF has Colin Farrell ever done well? Literally cannot name a more overrated hack in the business.

He was pretty good as the dick in Horrible Bosses.

i loved that show.........and then without ANY notice what so ever it just stopped airing, kind of like Treme.

I stand by this motto for this season so far........FFWD through the first 55 minutes of these episodes and simply catch the last 5 minutes, last and ONLY action in every episode, kinda pathetic

I watched every single episode of JoC just to find out WTF it was supposed to be about. I wish I had those hours back.

Ever since then, I've enacted the JoC "Rule" - you get my attention for 5 episodes - if you don't have me by 4, the 5th better be "Godfather Part 1 captivating", or I'm gone.

4 episodes into Season 3 of Treme = the first victim felled by the JoC rule.
(seasons 1 & 2 were GREAT)

After an epic season 1 run with McConaughey and Harrelson, True Detective season 2 is about to be the next, I'm afraid.
