[-Pyromaniac-]

I really thought we were gonna get 'kid brings piss to a shit fight' v 2.0

lol me too. He should have gone full bachman

 

[Squalor]

What are the characters' names? I haven't caught them at all yet. Lol

Paul Woodrugh (Taylor Kitsch)
Ray Velcoro (Colin Farrell)
Antigone "Ani" Bezzerides (Rachel McAdams)
Frank Semyon (Vince Vaughn)

Dat bottle of Blue Label, though.

i kinda hope this somehow ties into s01's story, although i understand why that's an immediate turn off for some

It would make absolutely no sense.

They said they're completely standalone. They could be lying, but it would be awful if so.

 

[Judderman]

So goddamn rogue.

I don't think the season can be anything but awful for you.

Spoiler

I'm just kitsching your farrels

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Just let Colin Farrell have his own show damn.

 

[sangreal]

wear a helmet bro, that shit is dangerous

 

[CharminUltra]

Death wish.

 

[Squalor]

wear a helmet bro, that shit is dangerous

You'd think a cop would know better, right?

 

[sangreal]

ok now this feels like true detective

 

[Squalor]

And there's Casper.

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

So.... A bunch of tortured cops. This could get interesting.

 

[CharminUltra]

I loved that song/sequence.

(First time hearing it. I'm pretty good at avoiding spoilers, including ads.)

 

[BlackGhost]

All coming together ..

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Oh shit

 

[Judderman]

Now this is what I'm talking about.

 

[TimeEffect]

would love to see Townes Van Zandt become a theme in the soundtracks. shoehorn "Waiting 'Round to Die" or "To Live is to Fly" or somethin

Ha, I was just thinking the same. They ended an episode with Townes, I'd like to see something like Kathleen be the theme.

 

[duckroll]

LOL. That last shot. Roflmao.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

LOL. That last shot. Roflmao.

lol pretty funny

I liked the last 10 minutes or so though!

 

[Squalor]

Ended fairly strongly, that's for sure.

The stare downs were weird, though.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Cinematic af

 

[robotrock]

I don't know what happened in this episode

Looked gorgeous though. I'll try and check it out again before the next episode so I have an idea of what's going on.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Fucking awesome ending. Started with Leonard Cohen, ends with Nick Cave? This fucking show

 

[the_firewithin]

Scattered first ep but at least they are all together now so hopefully it's a bit more cohesive

 

[Spinning Plates]

Fuck the reviews, I enjoyed that. Nothing like it on TV

 

[ezekial45]

I enjoyed that. Looking forward to seeing more.

 

[sangreal]

preview

Spoiler

was that D's mom?

not really a spoiler just a casting question

 

[spyder_ur]

I enjoyed that. Colin Farrell seems awesome for this part. Less sold on Vaughn and Kitsch, but maybe they'll grow on me.

 

[Squalor]

Everything up until the last five minutes was just pretty sloppy character setup.

This episode should have started with those last five or ten minutes.

 

[Euron]

Great episode. Can't wait to see where this heads.

 

[Future PhaZe]

didn't think I'd come away praying for ballers to start but i mean this is where we're at

*terribleblowjob.gif*

 

[styl3s]

Enjoyed it and i can't wait for next week.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Am I fucked up, or was that good?

 

[Gattsu25]

Well, here's hoping at least Ballers is good.

 

[lamaroo]

Decent start.

Anyone know if Ballers is supposed to be any good?

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

lmao they ended the episode on a Mexican standoff.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Oh I liked that, I liked that a lot. Not even understanding the mediocre reviews. Colin Farrell fuckin brought it. Awesome start imo.

 

[Squalor]

Decent start.

Anyone know if Ballers is supposed to be any good?

Well, its Metacritic score is somehow higher than True Detective two, haha.

 

[talisayNon]

good!

vince vaugn is...yikes.

but the rest. obamanotbad.jpg

Agreed. Didn't resemble the description I'd been given of S1 greatness.

Who was the dead dude?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Agreed. Didn't resemble the description I'd been given of S1 greatness.

Who was the dead dude?

A politician

 

[Squalor]

Agreed. Didn't resemble the description I'd been given of S1 greatness.

Who was the dead dude?

It was "Casper," real name Caspere.

He was in business with Frank Semyon (Vince Vaughn) and had been missing for over two days.

 

[StriKeVillain]

It was packed to the gills with content too. I feel like I only caught like 70% of the episode.

Need to re-watch ASAP.

 

[Jrmint]

Relatively intriguing.

No way it'll be good as good as Season 1, but we all knew that going in.

 

[CharminUltra]

A little uneven, but I'm down. Let's see how this develops.

 

[BlackGhost]

I don't know what happened in this episode

Looked gorgeous though. I'll try and check it out again before the next episode so I have an idea of what's going on.

Feel the same kinda lol, but didn't think it was bad.

 

[lamaroo]

A politician

City Manager, wasn't he?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

City Manager, wasn't he?

Yeah
