Anyone starting on season two yet? seen a few reviews saying it's not up to the level of season one, which was to be expected really, bar was set high, and it's bound to take a few episodes to hit it's stride.
I'll wait until I have a few episodes stacked up before I dip in.Comment

I have only watched the first two episodes. So far, I love that it is so different. I love the atmosphere, although it feels very bleak and depressing without any equivalent of Woody to lighten it up. But the first episode had way too many threads and it only really started to feel like it was starting to go somewhere right at the end of ep2. It gives us a huge amount of points of view, which I'm not sure is a good thing. But there is already a lot to enjoy and I'm looking forward to seeing it build.Comment

S2 has a different feel much like the differences each season of The Wire. It is watchable and does appear to be improving and unfolding well.Comment

Watched episode 3 the other night. I'm really enjoying it so far- the naysaying bothers me a lot, as it seems that a programme has to prove itself in the space of two episodes to be deemed worthwhile now. No chance for a slow burn with hypersensitive networks constantly gauging audience reception and people springing onto the Internet to write something off if it's not immediately satisfying.Originally posted by VR46 View PostComment

Yep, I agree with that. Also I think a lot of that comes down to rejecting anything slightly different, which for me is what makes this interesting.Comment

HBO have set True Detective Season 3 for 2019Comment

2nd series was such an immense fall off in virtually every aspect that made the first one so good. Story, chemistry, direction, visual, everything. It was dripping with wack juice but will still check the third as I'm optimistic like that.Comment

Wonder if Nic Pizzolatto is back on board for S3 ... 2 was so disappointing.Comment

Yep, he's back and is co-writing the season and directing several of the episodesComment

Funny that the purge cut this thread off before I had got far enough in to accept that series 2 was going nowhere. It was very, very poor.Comment

Great news, absence was most certainly felt in series 2. Red Dwarf was the same when Grant and Naylor were at the helm it was dope but just one can't pull the weight.Originally posted by Superman Falls View PostComment
