Better than The Wire? Better than GoT? Better than Boardwalk Empire(havent watched this series yet but will)? You guys are gushing a fucking Shit ton of praise upon this show. This season is great, but let's just be content to just say THAT for now.
it's better than Game of Thrones but I'm completely "meh" about that show. Also, Iggy said "could be on that kind of level". Pretty tentative. The only other shows that I make sure to see every week that are currently running/not on a break/in between seasons are this, The Walking Dead and Psych. So I stand by "best show currently on TV".
Krimzon7
02-14-2014, 12:01 PM
I can appreciate your opinion on Game of Thrones, it's not for everybody. With that being understood, I can see why you'd argue that POV. After rereading Iggy's post, I understand what he's saying a bit better...and it makes a helluva discussion.
Not to thread jack...but Every episode of Psych that I've seen I have absolutely loved. For whatever reason, I haven't managed to watch it regularly. WTF is wrong with me? Defintely adding Psych to my 'need to binge' list.
c'mon son, you know damn well you need to watch all of Psych as soon as possible

Definitely afraid that people are hyping it up too much and that they'll be big backlash if it doesn't end "the right way". Honestly think people are expecting some massive twist and it doesn't really seem like it's heading that way.
neways still a near perfect show.
My theory is that Alexandria Daddarrios tits are doing the murdering.

Just started watching yesterday, meant to watch one episode, watched 3 in a row.
On episode 4 now.
It took me a couple of episodes to get into it, but I started to really like it. I actually don't think I've done a complete turnaround on a show as fast as I did with this one.
About to start episode six.
Doesn't feel like a tv series. Seems like an 8 hour film.

does any1 know what happened in that episode
Who was the guy Colin Farrell attacked when he put on the mask... was that his wife's rapist or w/e... looked different from the pic Vince Vaughn gave him...
What was Vince Vaughn's entire storyline... didn't understand anything at all about what was going on with him...
And that other cop, the generic looking white guy, he was the guy who got a BJ from that actress or w/e and got suspended I guess right...

Also who was that "Casper" guy and y is he important
Boondock Saint

The dude he beat up was the journalist writing the 8-part article about the city's corruption. At the end, he tells Vaughn that the guy won't be finishing the article. Clearly doing a favor that Vaughn alluded to in the flashback about the wife's rapist etc.
The Caspere dude was the City manager, pretty much overseeing the whole speed-rail project that Vaughn's mobster-esque character has money in/plans on benefiting from.
The other dude got suspended, yes. He clearly needs some viagra due to something in his past that messed him up
That's what I deduced from the episode, anyway.
I thought the girl detective wanted buttsex at the beginning.
need to watch this later...
Anyone else watching this?
Really liking season 2 so far.
Holy fuck the end of the second episode.
If Colin Farrel is somehow alive, I'm calling bullshit. He probably had a vest on.
Triple A
07-08-2015, 12:28 AM
The dialogue feels bad / corny...
Like Vince Vaughn's character is written to use bad grammar like a "dumb mobster" but then he will use all these "big words" and say some really long "cleverly written" thing... feels annoying... feels like Colin Farrell is the only one who "pulls off" the bad dialogue... everyone else feels so unnatural...
Still gonna just watch it though, probably will end up liking it.
I like it. Feels more industrial/grounded and more noir than last year, less philosophical.
It sure ain't as good as season 1, not yet at least. Episode 3 was a bit better but it's still not as great as the previous season. I remember staying up all night just to watch the whole series last year, now I wouldn't do that, unless it improves.

What was Vince Vaughn trying to find out from that other lady that got killed... who was she

The woman and the kid Vaughn was consoling was the family of one of his thugs, Stan, they found dead in a warehouse or something a few episodes ago, supposedly killed by Mexicans.
Vaughn was looking for the girl that pawned the stuff from Caspere's house, Caspere being the guy murdered in the first episode, with whom that whole investigation started, he was the city manager and he had Vaughn's money when he died. Vaughn is looking for a disc that belonged to Caspere, with recordings of a lot of higher-ups involved in orgies and whatnot. He was promised a deal on the railroad (even though his money was lost with Caspere's death) if he can retrieve it.
The girl they rescued was the missing sister of a Mexican (I think?) lady they met during their investigation in the first episode. The lady cop was investigating, that woman told her her sister's been missing and she promised to find her.
Those parties are crucial to the plot, with all the richfolk involved and to be fair I'm kinda confused about this by now. It's something about those diamonds they are looking for but I'm no longer certain what that's about, someone else should probably explain this better.

So Colin Farrell has anger issues and loves his lil chubby ginger son who isn't really his son and his family don't really want him to see his son.
Rachel McAdams has a pornstar sister and hippy father and she's struggling to be the "straight shooter" of the family.
Tayler Kitsch is a secret bender
Vince Vaughn is a gangster of some kind. Dunno. Colin Farrell owes him a favour.

the show has too many characters this season but I still like it
even though I like the second season of True Detective, I can admit the dialogue is pretty bad...going to share some of my favorite lines with everyone.
“He looks half anaconda, half great white.”
“You like to bully kids, ASS-pen? You’re 12 years old and you’re already evil as fuck.”
“You don’t want to look hungry. Never do anything out of hunger. Not even eating.”
“If you ever bully or hurt anybody again, I’ll come back and butt fuck your father with your mom’s headless corpse on this goddamn lawn.”

True Detective "hate" going viral on the internet today I guess
http://gothamist.com/2015/08/04/true_detective_lines_reactions.php
If you read aloud from, say, a thesaurus or a Mad Libs filled in by a 10-year-old, you would probably spew out something like the lines delivered in True Detective 2. The show's script, at points, sounds like it was written by someone who read a bunch of Smart Books and then tried to sound like them without much understanding of their words or meaning.
Most of the lines in the show feel like they're written for 18 year old boys who have smoked pot for the first time in college, with a Che poster above them while Bob Marley's Legend is playing.
feels like the dialogue was written by "Bray Wyatt" trying to write a cop show
Definitely my favorite:
“If you ever bully or hurt anybody again, I’ll come back and butt fuck your father with your mom’s headless corpse on this goddamn lawn.”

"True Detective sucks" meme train out in full effect after hating it went "viral" last week and ppl discovered it was safe to have that opinion, it feels
not perfect or as good as the first season but I still liked it. Was glad we saw biker cop's mom/gf again for half a sec, disappointed we never found what happened to rachel mcadams dad/sister.
They need to work on dialogue next year and by that I mean hire a completely different writer. Think the worst line was when they were looking at contracts and someone exasperated "these contracts....they have signatures all over them!" like it was really odd or out of place to have signatures on a contract. Still thought it was an ok season overall, nowhere near as good as the first though.
