I finally got around to watching the first season of True Detective. The hype train did not lie. This was phenomenal. Honestly, I expected something a little more explicitlysupernaturalin the end, but I was fine with the direction they took.
So I'm a little concerned by the fact that season 2 apparently has none of the same cast/characters, takes place in a totally different setting, and doesn't even HINT at anything macabre in the trailer. It looks like they just decided to make a crime drama and use the True Detective brand. Da fuck mayne.
Is S2 any good? Are my fears justified? I would be happy to stop watching right now and end on a high note. I just need to know.
>Is S2 any good?
No.

season 2 is absolute shit and you might as well not watch it.
it was fun when we had threads on here every night. we could frankpost and make fun of it. the night that they tokyo drifted into the moon was fun, that was extra laughable. especially with the heist scene ending up how it did. (i won't spoiler it but lets just say deus ex machina x infinity)
if season 2 was its own show we would have said meh, its ok. but the fact that it was the second installment of the greatest story told in modern times made us all wonder what the fuck was up for about two episodes, and then just relentlessly make fun of it for the rest.

Don't watch it
Watch seasons 1 and 2 of Fargo instead, much better anthology series
Awesome. Guess I'll leave it at that, then. RIP TD, you were a great 8-episode miniseries.

What kind of person would make a shitpost like this? You loved Beasts of No Nation didn't you?

Why does nobody ever mention that the ending of S1 was LITERALLY the same ending as LA Noire?
Season 2 is not anything close to season1. It's not awful, but it's not that good.
It's unfortunate, because season 1 was so good, perhaps the best tv show I've ever seen (besides lost). It's absurdly difficult to live up to that standard.

season 1 was really enjoyable. season 2 was tryhard "le tarantino banter"-tier shit.

Thanks man

me and wife just finished season 2
it was great television
not as good as the first season..but MM and Woody are pretty bad ass actors, and the storyline and screenplay were quite a bit stronger
still we watched it in two days..best thing we had seen in a while
bloodlines on netflix was kick ass as well
Second season is still good TV, just not as good as season one. Colin Farrell is fantastic.

It's so good HBO said fuck this shit and cancelled it.

This.
Everyone had high expectations and were therefore disappointed. People get very emotional when they're disappointed and proclaim it as the worst thing ever.
I rather enjoyed season 2, but it's pretty hard to follow if you only get to watch one episode a week, spread out over 2 months. Especially with no "previously on" to help.
By the midpoint, I was like Who the fuck is Casper?

Don't waste your time with season 2.
It's like season 1 without the atmospheric setting, interesting characters, intriguing mystery and end of episode hooks that makes you want to keep watching.
Sason 2 was different but still good. It triggered the fuck out of Tumblr though, and they went on a campaign of shitposting against it.

Well done you sneaky nigger. You tricked me into googling.
TD is not cancelled by any means.

Tumblr was triggered before TD2 even aired when Pizza had a twitter arguement with some feminist writer.
