Rubin Farr Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I like keeping the tropes of one detective being questioned, and then flashing back that were used last season. Obviously, Farrell is being set up as the Rust equivalent, but that could be a bait and switch. We have basically 4 characters this season instead of 2, so anyone could turn out the be the TD.

Nebraska Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 watched this last night (re-run of the first episode) and i don't get all the hype. actually, i disliked season 1 after 1.5 episodes. this to me just seems like meandering detective work with a few shockers thrown in: Reveal hidden contents catching the porno shoot, religious dad doesn't want to save his daughter from doing porn, colin farrell fucking up some kid's dad in front of the kid for cutting up his son's shoes then saying he will butt fuck the dad with the mom's headless corpse etc etc Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/87251-true-detective-season-2/page/3/#findComment-2338072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Enter a new display name Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Why the hell did they hire the director of Fast and Furious 3-6 to replace Fukunada? The direction of the first season is what made True Detective so great. Seriously this episode was a huge letdown. I will watch the episode again to give it a chance, but damn...

fenton Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I didn't like it as much as I liked S01E01 - but what really threw me was when Vince Vaughn was saying "It's an 8 part series" twice which is the shittist in-joke ever but he is a comedian I suppose and wtf was going on with everything being called 'Vinci'. Is HBO running a 'we'll turn your career upside down' buyers club?

NI64 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 On 6/23/2015 at 4:40 AM, Candiru said: I actually really enjoyed it for the setting and Mulholland Drive/Lost Highway/film noir/pornstar/impending barroom brawl vibes. Pretty much exactly the vibe I got. Lots of similarities to Lost Highway especially. And did you notice how the city manager drove past Mullholland Dr in one scene? Was a little quick, but they definitely showed the sign somewhat prominently. I thought it was clearly a Lynch reference. That and the night shot of the no-headlights 100 mph highway Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide NI64's signature Hide all signatures wow Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/87251-true-detective-season-2/page/3/#findComment-2338551 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The direction of the first season is what made True Detective so great. Seriously this episode was a huge letdown. I will watch the episode again to give it a chance, but damn... you say that like it's a bad thing? I think the FAF films are pretty well directed (being what they are). Fukanada had to be replaced because he's moved on to other things. I thought the production was fine, and great in places. The characterisation is what fell flat for me. Farrell's character isn't likeable at all, Vince is just dull, Rachel is 'we need a female character so we'll make a strong manly female character with family issues' - tim riggins is playing jason street. they should have just got jason street in for that role. obviously i'll stick with it but this feels all gritty and serious without any actual entertainment. the first season was great up until the end. this one feels a bit odd without the 'southern mystique' and the fairly clear plot.

Twelvetrees Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 It seemed messy to me, and too many of the lines seemed poorly delivered. Lots of potential and I'm trusting Pizzolatto to do his thing, but not the most promising of starts.
