    Thoughts on True Detective season 2
    I know its only 2 episodes in but I like a lot already. Like the actors they got Colin Farrell is really good at his part, I thought that season 2 might be disappointing because it is going to be hard to top Woody and Matthew two hard to say at this point really early I like the direction that its going though.

            -1000 he's still alive.....No blood splatter and it just doesn't make sense to off the unanimous #1 character so early

            I like the season alot so far although it's obviously not anything like the first season.....just try to take it for what it is and not what it isn't

                Imo season has been boring. If not for the good actors I would have stopped watching after episode 1 or 2. I thought tonights episode was boring. Most the dialogue with Vince Vaughn confuses me because it is boring as shit.

                  Vince Vaughn is a G in this show. I didn't think he had it in him.

                    its a tad bit confusing but i think the show is starting to pick up.

                    Vince Vaughn is doing a great job with his acting. I thought he was only capable of playing the same character in every movie/show but he has played a very scary villan.

                      So far really slow. I am waiting for it to pick up. Colin is no McConaughey. Vince is currently carrying the show.

                      Mr.Robot is the better show right now.

                        so far excellent. Intriguing. Love the characters so far. I am debating on whether to just stop watching it until it's over so I can binge-watch the rest. Rachel McAdams is sexy as fukk.

                          Entertaining but at times is bogged down by its attempt to recapture the existentialism and nihilism of the previous season.

                          It definitely has potential but desperately needs to attempt blaze its own trail rather than attempt to piggyback on the first season by regurgitating elements that were thought to be reasons for its popularity.

                            This.

                            I had forgotten what an incredibly beautiful woman she is. She seems to only get sexier with age. Her character being a little rough around the edges only adds to her appeal in my opinion.

                              Can't keep my eyes open

                              Have to rewind 50x per episode due to mind wandering

                              Stick to comedy Vaughn

                              Quit showbiz all together Farrell

                              McAdams is nailing the only halfway interesting character

                              One and done

                              Golin needs to stick to one project at a time as he clearly dropped the ball

                                The second episode of Mr. Robot wasn't all that great either, but you're right in it's better (so far) than seasons two of True Detective.

                                    was very worried about Vinnie Vaughn working out, comedic actor that he is

                                    but i'll be gosh darned if that opening scene of Ep2 didn't change my mind

                                                            That screen isn't from True Detective but if you watch the first episode again...when she's done penetrating the sheriff in her apartment she shows it off for a second in the bedroom getting dressed I completely went blank for the next few minutes and had to rewind it

                                                                      I feel like they are running out of time to introduce the beginnings of a "should have seen this coming" twist but I guess that one would make sense. I think Vince Vaughn's second in command is the key to this whole thing. We saw he is involved in the cartel's prostitution ring. I think it was him that shot Colin Farrell in Caspere's second house with the bird mask on.

                                                                      Whatever the twist is, it better not be something hokey. I feel like as good as season one was ( I just re watched it) its plot, at its most basic, was kind of a cliche as far as the whodunnit aspect.
