True Detective Season 2

[Dylan]

I like a lot of shows. In no particular order:

Sopranos
Boondocks
Archer
Arrested Development
The Wire
VEEP
Game of Thrones
Mad Men
Curb
Homicide
Freaks and Geeks
Fargo

The show was bad for a few reasons. The dialogue was largely stilted and unnatural. Lots of scenery chewing by two actors who are usually pretty decent. The storyline was fragmented and felt rushed at the end. The final sequence was cheesy almost beyond words - the hokey voice echoing around and blah blah blah. It just never managed to capture my attention in a meaningful way. I felt similarly about Breaking Bad tbh, though Breaking Bad was still the superior show.

I liked the show generally but I feel similarly about that tunnel chase/fight sequence in the finale. I also think Breaking Bad, while a very good show, is overrated. I can't get down with your overall assessment but it's a respectable one.

[Revenant]

Breaking bad is just boring and terrible.

last season i was drawn in more each episode. this season, i've been scoffing at the characters. vince vaughn talking 10 minutes about being eaten by a rat. f**k a this show. most of it is just about setting up how tortured the people are working on the case, instead of talking about the actual case. i don't give a f**k that colin ferrel isn't the father of his son but some ginger rapist is, or that he killed the rapist, or that he drinks. i don't care that the girl has daddy/authority issues. i don't care that the other guy is closeted gay and torturing himself over it. why not, instead of all that, just talk about the case. but hopefully ferrel is dead, then, i won't have to listen to it anymore. tbf the acting is fine, iu think it's the writing that has gone to shit. after one season. and the worst part? it had the ability to be fresh and awesome and "new show" like forever. it could introduce new characters all the time and still have an interesting show about solving crimes. but no, had to take what should have took all season setting up for backstory on these people and shove it in the front, forgetting about the case. i dunno what other filler they'll be adding. christ

No you won't. It will be like Battlefield Earth. So bad you can't turn away from it.
