I doubt we'll see a season three after this disaster of a season.

I honestly don't know if i'd like this show more if it wasn't True Detective or if I am only still watching because it is.

That's because despite it getting stronger towards the end, it's pretty bad.

Re: HBO Television Show: True Detective
The writing is just brutal. The actors, all of them, are trying so fucking hard to be dark and mysterious that it comes off as childs play. Just ridiculousness. I dont blame the actors, except Collin Darrel because he's horrible.

Re: HBO Television Show: True Detective
I hated Collin Darrel before this, so I doubt I will like this at all.

It's terrible. And like Skitch suggested, I wouldn't be watching this if it wasn't True Detective, which is probably pretty fucking stupid on my part.

I will concede that Farrell's ex on the show is a master of the nose flare.

Re: HBO Television Show: True Detective
Me too. I accidentally turned my computer off while I was in the middle of watching yesterday's episode, and I thought to myself, "Oh good. I'm done with this show. It's not worth browsing all the way back and finding where I was. I'm not going to watch any more of this season." But when I turned the computer back on it just automatically started playing from where I was. I was disappointed, but I continued to watch.turned2black wrote:It's terrible.

After the 15 minute mark i got upset that i was still wasting my time with it. I turned it off and went to bed.
I finished it this morning.
That is all.

Re: HBO Television Show: True Detective
If they can get a single director and a co-writer for next season, I'd be completely on board. Even without those things, though, I'll still watch, I'm sure.
