codeine Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Goddamn. Might be onto something! http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueDetective/comments/3bmcmd/s2e2_spoilers_the_final_scene_was_set_up_and/ Whether it happens in the show or not, very very cool theory. This person should write for TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Is it just me, or was last night's episode feel like it's worse? The acting is forced and trying too hard to be all dark and broken individuals. Plus the story is just convoluted and too much going on all over the place. I'm not dismissing the show just yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk3745 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 While the brooding (probably gay) cop is getting a little old, at least he has a reason to be such a baby now, right? Anyway, I know its not easy but I'm trying to watch this on its own without continuously comparing it to the first season, and by that standard its doing just fine and I'm enjoying it. Not as much as I enjoyed the first season but whatever. I'm in. I'm enjoying seeing Vince Vaughn playing a serious role for the first time since ...The Lost World? I don't know.

jhulud Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Since I accepted the fact that this season can't and shouldn't be compared to the first, I'm watching it as standalone and looking for its own merits. But damn, I am having a hard time finding positives on it. I understand that the story and characters are supposed to be damaged and with their own traumas and problems, but the forced acting to put that across is just that, forced. It doesn't feel natural nor believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgry Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 The fact that it's going so slow and there's only 5 more episodes left, not good. I'm sure it's going to pickup and something crazy will happen that will have everyone talking. For now, I've been looking forward to Halt and Catch Fire, which is on right after TD.

I understand that the story and characters are supposed to be damaged and with their own traumas and problems, but the forced acting to put that across is just that, forced. It doesn't feel natural nor believable. My thoughts exactly. The acting and writing seem very overdone, almost comical at times. Matthew McConaughey's acting in the first season felt really natural, which really blew me away and actually pulled me into the show. Maybe I set my hopes too high after the first season, but this season is off to a really rough start for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSeth Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Glad to hear I'm not the only one feeling that way. I was starting to think I was missing something. It seems they are throwing too much in with very little development so far. Definitely holding out hope that things pick up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylekrische Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Tim Riggins is obvi gay, there's no way you would need a boner pill to smash with one of the hottest girls alive. Did he pick up that prostitute in episode 3? Havent watched yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock N Roll Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Tim Riggins is obvi gay, there's no way you would need a boner pill to smash with one of the hottest girls alive. Did he pick up that prostitute in episode 3? Havent watched yet I wonder what happened to Riggins between his days lighting up fools on the football field and tappin' every ass in Dillon,TX to becoming a highway patrolman in California who has boner problems.

sjb2k1 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 aside from that weird line about fuckin the one kid's dad with his mom's head (or mom's head next to him? heh), i'm enjoying colin ferrell's performance. vince vaughn's character is getting better as he gets angrier and falls back into bad shit. "am i a god damn teenage girl?" and pulling out that dude's grill, barf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I was so happy with the grilling. Mostly because that thing wasn't only obnoxiously audacious, but he sounded like Mac wearing the wooden teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atticus Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I dunno.. It's not last season, but it's entertaining. I was 2 eps behind and almost didn't bother catching up because of some of the comments on here.. After watching I'm glad I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadreckoning Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 just watched the 1st episode, which wasn't too bad. seems like an effective way to deal with a bully. However, motorcycle deathwish guy should have been ground beef after getting the wobbles at that speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 more than anything, i can't believe how many people are watching this show. i spent the weekend with a whole bunch of friends, and this was an almost constant conversation piece. almost had a group watch last night, but decided against it because this isn't really the right kind of show for that, and not everyone was caught up. but man, oh, man do i wish i was in a room full of people for that ending.
