I'm in bizarro world, I think Vaughn is putting the strongest performance here. I can feel the panic, disgust, forced pride dripping out of his scenes. Farrell is great, but its a tropey role. Kitsch is doing his usual whispery, eyebrow scowl thing but his plot is picking up. Indifferent on McAdams right now, I think she might be over doing it a bit.

 

[this_guy]

I was ready to give Vaughn a chance. I really tried to like him in the first episode, but now, I just have to agree that he's the weakest one on the show. His wife might be the second weakest.

This. Any scene that's just VV and his wife is hard to pay attention, and when I do I see 2 people trying to act instead of the characters they are trying to portray.

 

[Alcander]

Pretty meh on this season so far. It really misses that special something from s1 that made everything so tense and dark, I dont know. Don't really feel the acting much either, though I think Ferrell is the best by far.

 

[Alcander]

Oh yeah and VV's wife is so bad. Really transparent acting

 

[User 479360]

I'm enjoying it, but I'm not in love with it. It's been decent so far.

 

[dead souls]

That fertility clinic scene in the last episode was stunning in its complete terribleness.

New episode tonight:

Down Will Come

Spoiler

The detail works a pawn-shop lead to close in on a suspect in the Caspere case. Frank revisits his past to pay for his present.

 

[Currygan]

watched the first two episodes. Nothing has grabbed me so far, hopefully things pick up a bit because for now it's a total borefest

 

[Aurongel]

I just can't believe we're on episode 4/8 and we're still in the "procedural questioning dudes" phase of the detective drama.

I get the feeling tonight's episode will be the best of S2 so far but mannnnn this show is dry.

 

[Chance Hale]

I hope the show ends with all of the characters dying in a car crash unrelated to the case due to drunk driving.

Even better than drunk driving would be if it was caused by a driver reaching for their e-cigarette that they dropped.

The show is called "True Detective" and I highly doubt the actual procedural part of the show is gonna do a hard swerve. But go ahead Nick Pizzaman, surprise me.

 

[robotrock]

Do you guys think the show will jump 10 years into the future

 

[trh]

well i've been piecing together all the clues over the past few episodes and i think i've gotten a fairly good read on where one part of the show is heading.

[Jarnet87]

I started rewatching the first season, up to episode 4. There is definitely a lot of wordy dialogue in it, but McConaughey sells it betters and we've got Harrelson there to call him out on it or tell him to shut it.

 

[Iadien]

I won't continue watching it if tonight's episode doesn't pull me in. I wanted to like it, but nothing has grabbed me, at all.

What? Show me your diagrams.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

What? Show me your diagrams.

 

[Kerned]

I'm not exactly hooked yet either, but I know I'm not going to quit now. These seasons are so short, even by HBO standards.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I won't continue watching it if tonight's episode doesn't pull me in. I wanted to like it, but nothing has grabbed me, at all.

As much as it pains me to say, I'm right here too.

 

[Askherserenity]

I won't continue watching it if tonight's episode doesn't pull me in. I wanted to like it, but nothing has grabbed me, at all.

If this episode is more of the same...I'll be so damn disappointed.

 

[this_guy]

Put me in the camp that won't continue watching if tonight's episode is as disappointing as the last. So far the story isn't gripping and there's some bad acting which makes it difficult to pay attention.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Shut up you're all gonna continue watching.

 

[Dany]

Shut up you're all gonna continue watching.

yeah

 

[Mayyhem]

I wanna be put into that camp of not continuing watching if tonights episode sucks but I know that wont happen. All because of how much I loved the first season.

This season fucking blows

 

[TheKaeptain]

hahaha

[Phineous_2]

Shut up you're all gonna continue watching.

I wish you were wrong, you're SO not.

After last week's episode, I swore I was out, but I will be watching tonight. IDK if I come back because I think there's potential here, or just reverence for how much I enjoyed season 1. I want it to make me come back because of how good it is, not because I want to see how bad it's going to get.

 

[lamaroo]

The show is no where near bad enough that I'll stop watching, but I don't anticipate the new episodes like season one.

 

[vpance]

Crosses fingers for more Chad and Asspen drama.

 

[Kerned]

The show is no where near bad enough that I'll stop watching, but I don't anticipate the new episodes like season one.

My wife and I were just commenting that it feels like we have a chore scheduled for 10 minutes from now.

 

[Mimosa97]

I know I'll be disappointed again but I'll keep watching because as much as I'm not enjoying this season, I still want to know what happened to that old fucker.

Spoiler

And yeah fuck vince vaughn.

 

[BlackGhost]

The show is no where near bad enough that I'll stop watching, but I don't anticipate the new episodes like season one.

Kinda starting to feel the same. I'm don't really making a priority to catch the episodes live anymore. might not even watch love tonight

 

[trh]

y'all suck. this season is dope, if there was no season 1 to compare this too people would be praising it. and vince vaughn is really good. plus there's probably some buttstuff in store for taylor kitsch and i don't think anyone is going to miss that

 

[sangreal]

looking forward to see where the show goes now that we are passed the review screeners

If there was no season one to compare to, I wouldn't have any reason to hope that at some point it gets better.

 

[Mimosa97]

Why does HBO feel the need to spoil the upcoming episode right before it starts ?

 

[lamaroo]

Why does HBO feel the need to spoil the upcoming episode right before it starts ?

I always mute HBO before a show starts. I even try ignoring the "previously on" bits as well because they usually spoil what's coming.

 

[BigJonsson]

Yay new episode where I will probably end up confused after

 

[lamaroo]

Hey he finally did it, congrats on the sex.

 

[sangreal]

guys, I think he might be gay

 

[Future PhaZe]

That was terrible.

 

[Violence Jack]

Unless they plan on going somewhere with this "he's gay" subplot, I wish they would just drop it. He and Vaughn are really dragging the show down.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Hes not gay he just likes gay sex. Other that that, straight as an arrow

 

[cLOUDo]

This guy have an obsession with teeths

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Unless they plan on going somewhere with this "he's gay" subplot, I wish they would just drop it. He and Vaughn are really dragging the show down.

The twist is that Vince Vaughn is also gay, which is why he can't get it up with his wife anymore, and he and Taylor Kitsch are gonna bang at the end of the season.

 

[Robot Pants]

Ok I can't do it anymore. I was on board with the first episode and it's just gotten worse.

I can't stop rolling my eyes

 

[Violence Jack]

The twist is that Vince Vaughn is also gay, which is why he can't get it up with his wife anymore, and he and Taylor Kitsch are gonna bang at the end of the season.

I'd honestly be OK with that at this point.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Are they still solving a murder

I'm not sure anymore

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

There was a murder?
