HBO Television Show: True Detective

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

One of the worst parts about S2 was how the shootout in E4 essentially hit the reset button on the whole plot. We had spent four episodes meandering around these characters without really knowing who they were and what the hell was going on, only to have the rug pulled out from underneath by that shootout.

The episodes after that also featured meandering around the characters without knowing who they were.

This is probably the best harry lime thread.

I just thought about the ending again and got really angry.

I also just read that this show is done.

[@SkitchP]

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.

I stand by this.

The news that David Milch is on board to work with Pizzolatto on a third season gives me some hope. S2 had style, but it was a shitshow and a shit show.

not a fuckin cavity

Pretty clear S1 was a singular moment on T.V. that Pizzolatto will never come close to reproducing.

That being said, I love Mahershala, so I'll be watching just for him.

He's got an intriguing face that'll be perfect for Pizzolatto's usual 10-minute long stares into the camera.

Is the second season any good? We really liked the first one.

If you like terrible acting and ham-fisted writing, go for it.
