Streaming [HBO] True Detective

[Warsaw]

Ali might have wrapped up his Emmy in just two episodes. ******* unreal and for him and the crew to capture the three eras so clearly. That alone is more impressive than anything out of S2.

Not going to do any deep dives into it like S1 on the Yellow King, Carcosa, Lovecraft stuff cause I've been burned by that before. But it'd be hell of a flex on Pizzolatto's part if he didn't lean heavily right into it come the end of the series, after already alluding to it here (and given the reaction last time around).

Looking forward to the Milch written episodes the most.

Ali...did you notice the look on his face in Ep2 when he was talking to Cousin Creepy on the verandah? He changed his facial expression and posture to look like another person from what we had seen.

episode 3 tonight, a couple more interesting developments. i am loving this so far, it's building nicely.

 

[Santoz]

Very similar feel to Series 1.

I’m liking it

 

[Frank Bunn]

A good series so far. it feels a little too slow but I'm hanging out for the next episode with lots of unanswered questions. The biggest one - what was the child sized object that the trash collector guy moved after he got beaten up?

I didn't think it looked like that at the time but I've seen a lot of people online have interpreted it that way too.

I just thought it made sense that it was a bag of weapons seeing as he'd just had the s**t kicked out of him by a bunch of red necks and looked rather pissed off about it.

Yeah I initially thought bag of weapons but the way it moved as he carried it made me think it was a body...

 

[pjcrows]

Excellent start to the season.

 

[vast]

Fantastic episode. They are still leaving us hanging for answers on alot of fronts but that is not a bad thing because I loved the way that ep was crafted.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

They've set up a good sense of doom, some interesting characters and plot points.. but have killed it with the incredibly slow pacing.

Needs a big second half of the season to redeem itself.

Explosive episode

Explosive episode

What was explosive about it exactly?

I was rather dissapointed that we had a 70 minute episode and yet.. nothing really progressed the case for me. There were a couple of revelations, but nothing that blew the case open (or closed) and they blue balled us on the biggest action piece of the season.

My post was meant to be a pun in regards to the final scene

Apparently this was in the preview for next week's episode:

Agree. It's as slow as a wet week. Nothing really happened in that episode until the last couple of minutes, and it was incidental to the murder/kidnapping investigation.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I don't want to be negative, but i'm starting to feel like i've been conned into feeling so good about this seaosn with Ali's excellent performance and a return to the tone and pastiche of the first season. I have a feeling this season may be going for some subverted or subdued conclusion and, if that the case, i'm sorry but that's not what i'm here for.

I want the intrigued and suspense to wrench up in the next two episodes or this season will fall very flat for me.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

I think Hays's son is sleeping with that reporter.

 

[Kirby]

It's a quality show but I agree that it does get bogged down at times, especially in relationship scenes with Hays and his wife.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

They've gone back to the winning formula but it's starting to drag.

Would be a good show to binge.

I have tried three times now to get through this...,maybe it’s the hot weather..dunno...but have fallen asleep 30 minutes or so in...will try again during daylight over the weekend but it’s starting to stink up

The early applause has suddenly died

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Watched Series 1 and was ok but wow underwhelming last few episodes. Green paint? **** off. He felt his daughter and old man?....gimme a break!

MM character was convoluted and pretentious.

Came on here to read other opinions and staggered that people comparing it to BB, Wire, Sopranos etc. Nowhere near it, holy ****. I’ve watched The Americans and The Leftovers over summer and shits on this.

This is just Hollywood serial killer formula.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Dragging a bit at this stage.

Not a fan of the revisiting of Hays and Amelia's relationship each and every episode.

I'm predicting a episode 6 reveals Hays and West killed the cousin who drilled the hole in the wall.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

The real mystery is what happened to the white cop to change his perspective of dogs.
