Jeremy Saulnier directing True Detective is like the most obvious great idea that I had never even considered.
He wanted to make Vince come across as a guy who was self taught for a lot of things and is always eager to show how smart he is to show how far he's come from being a poor and abused child but Colin's character says almost as much dumb shit and there's no levity in the show practically. Everyone is always grimacing and angry.and even then it has this weird charm to it. Like he was a bit (or a lot) of a nut. Vince Vaughn was just confusing.
Thank goodness they're back in rural America. There is absolutely no mystery to California (at least the parts depicted) and mystery was such a great part about Season 1. I have lived here most of my life and when it was announced it was going to be in California, my interest dwindled. The location alone has me excited. Now that the other parts are falling into place, this has potential to return to greatness.
I've rewatched it and it is still great. The problem with season 2 is that everyone is Cole and he doubled down on the thesaurus. There's no one to ground us.
I think you definitely appreciate Woody's no-BS attitude more.
Nah, it's still great. Only Rust speaks like a nut.
lol at Season 2

Season 1 script had a ton of unnecessary indulgences that Fukunaga overcame with sheer talent (and probably some choice script editing).Won't mean a damn thing if the script is Season 2-tier.
The problem with Season 2 was the script - not direction, which was competent.
I still don't know if this is a great line or a terrible line.
The dialogue in S2 is just embarrassing. You have to be really full of yourself and out of your mind do write that tripe and I think "Yeah that's some good stuff."
I definitely need to give TD S1 a rewatch.

Would be happier to know he was on board to direct the whole season. Would be nice to get a singular director vision ala Season 1.
The writing in season 1 was terrible too. It just had better performances.

I cannot abide this, the writing in season 1 was fantastic. That show has some of my favorite lines ever spoken on TV.
Yeah it doesn't come across too well in the show, I actually only fully picked up on it after I read that interview and then it all clicked, that's why this guy sounds like he's trying so hard lol. Truth be told I've known some people like that too.Exactly. He's like the walking embodiment of the Peter Principle. He's this violent street tough who suddenly finds himself in a management position that he's totally unequipped to handle, and he tries to compensate by putting on airs. It's a good idea, but the script is more overwrought than it needs to be, and the actor and directors don't seem to have fully understood it.
Which makes me still kinda worried for this. He had a while since S2, but who knows how much of that was him licking his wounds and how much of that was writing? I'd feel more comfortable if he at least had a small writers room set up or someone else he bounced ideas off of, that's actually what I thought Milch and another (?) writer where brought on to do but apparently that only added up to one episode. I agree with you that cliches or alleged plagiarism aside, S1 was good writing though.Nah. Writing in Season 1 was good.
And again, Pizzaman is great.
I don't know any one person outside of a coked-up Aaron Sorkin that could punch out 8-10 hours of quality television by themselves in less than a year.
The first season was cooking with Pizzoloto for 7-8 years.

I never saw season 2, did it havelike season 1?the Lovecraft, soft of, connection,
Huh, well that sounds like enough of a reason not to ever watch it I guess :/ Thanks.none.
It did have, however, a random David Lynch-inspired sequence in one early episode.
Its terribleI still don't know if this is a great line or a terrible line.

lol at Season 2
Agreed. It had an embarrassingly bad finale.
