True Detective: Season 2

I am coming around to this season. The thought of Rachel McAdams going ATM makes me happy. I like all the cop stuff so far, and Colin is doing a bang up job, but whenever I see Vince Vaughn I sort of lose my partial. He just seems miscast or some shit. Dunno. But moar tits please.
 
Vince Vaughn has been fine. The fight scene against the Mexican was kind of stupid, but whatever. I loved Friday Night Lights, but Tim Riggins is a bad actor. I know his character is supposed to be somewhat of a dolt, but the guy offers nothing except being good looking (75k).

He's pretty bad, just holds a pensive stare into the distance. Vince Vaughn has been pretty good. I like how he was introduced as former thug gone good, was generally likeable, and now is going back full thug.

The fight was pretty fucking stupid. If you think a mexican gang leader with fuck you gold teeth has the old school honor to submit after losing a fist fight, you're crazy.

At the most he gets assassinated, at the least he starts a crippling gang war.
 
I still don't know what I'm really watching. I know Colin Farell is an alcoholic, Taylor Kitsch likes dudes and chicks, Vince Vaugn can't get a boner, and Rachel McAdams is kinky. I think they are working on a case?

He wants to like chicks but he doesn't. He likes dudes and he hates himself for it.

So what you're saying is, he lacks #Courage.
 
Fuck me for admitting I watched the first part of the ESPY's but Rachel McAdam's plunging blazer gave me a side/underboob boner.

What a fucking disappointment this season has been so far. I'm trying to figure out if this was season 1 would they have green-lit a season 2.

They blow up half the block, kill a bunch of random mexicans (who kill a bunch of random civilians), and then they continue the story next episode 2 months later? Everyone has been relegated to a shitty job, how sad.

I literally give zero fucks about what's at stake in this story. Corrupt politicians are corrupt, ok. Spoiled wannabe gangster pimp mayor's son is running girls with some random russian mobster from the opulent geico commercials. Vince Vaughn's shady henchman and rick springfield like to kick it with them too.

Meanwhile Tim Riggins' cliche whore mother jacked his 20k in hazard pay because Riggins is as dumb as he looks and hid it in a locker in her winnebago instead of putting it in a lockbox. He's also really mad that he is gay, which is important because it's not.

McAdams better get naked soon, her dragging her ex-whore sister back into the life she just left for college is going to get her killed next episode. Then McAdams, ovaries swelling, will get Pat Hill tuff and crack the case as all the feminists cry up to their moms with pride.

Vince Vaughn had some really shitty lines in this one, nobody gives a fuck he is shooting blanks into a barren redhead. I guess it humanizes him or something. Ray is the only interesting character left. The twist about the rapist was 90% expected after the looks Vaughn gave his henchman the very first time they met in episode 1. Does it really mean anything beyond Ray beating the shit out of Vince Vaughn and going even more rogue?

I'll still finish the season bc there is nothing else to do in Mom's basement, but it gets zero more slack. Maybe it will be the reverse of season 1 and finish strong, but i can't imagine anything outside of a jagged flint mudslide over Vinci having any impact. Shit shit story.

yeah, I can't really figure out a point beyond "people are fucked up, let's have a bunch of cliche fucked up in the head people interact." The storyline is far from compelling.
 
I think this season is far better than the first. I think Rachel McAdams is way over rated as an actress and for hotness
 
Crazy psycho religious killings > corrupt politician/JV mob types shady land deals

People fail to realize that 95% of actresses aren't all that hot. Many are attractive and definitely fuckable, but you can go anywhere that isn't dirt poor from LA to San Diego and see women everyday much hotter. I'm not trying to be facetious, but if I saw Rachel McAdams look-a-like at a bar I wouldn't think anything of it.

The reason you can't have the actresses be too hot is because they want women to like them. So actresses like McAdams, Aniston, Bullock, etc are the most famous because of this reason. They are white and pleasant looking but not too hot.

There's Kate Beckinsale, then everybody else. HTH
 
The directing and writing has been an absolute dreckfest. The base storyline I think is pretty good, in the classical Film Noir sense, better than the first seasons storyline. But there is just a lot of ancillary garbage that doesn't make sense and muddies what is actually interesting.

The shootout was LOL. If there was a shootout that killed half-a-dozen police officers, another 10 innocent citizens and protesters, and a lord knows how many drug dealing messicans it would be one of the most bloody shootouts in modern US history. It would be like Branch Davidians and Koresh. Those people would not be working a few weeks later as police officers and they would sure as shit not be enlisted in some super secret detail off the books by the state police agency.

The writing is sloppy and there is too much ancillary crap. A good story is there, but it's gone pear shaped, unfortunately.

I can't take Vince Vaughn seriously, so it's pretty much ruined this season for me. The only role he played that was semi-serious, which was fucking awesome, was in Clay Pigeons. That movie rocked. I just don't think he's that talented of an actor. He's hilarious, but no Marlon Brando.

Rachel McAdams is not bringing much to the table in this. I thought she would be better. This role just doesn't seem right for her, similar to Vaughn.

In short, so far this season has been shit compared to Season 1.

Return to Paradise was pretty awesome.
 
Season 1 takes a royal shit on this season. I've tried to like it so far but I'm kidding myself trying to. I will finish it as well but it really has been a lackluster annoying season.
