Why the hate?
Because it was forced and confusing.
Four characters was too much.
>hurr durr we're depressed look at how depressed we are
Season 1 was much more subtile and it felt natural.
>>69697617
No supernatural lovecraftian dread.
Pretty good, outside the context of the mindblowing first season.
>>69697764
Basically this. 4 characters meant they didn't get to do a whole lot of exposition or backstory besides muh alcoholism muh depression muh shit life muh pretending to not be gay
It's like they watched a bunch of parody detective movies and then went "yeah let's use those characters but be serious!"
>>69697823
>No supernatural lovecraftian dread.
Exactly. The most disappointing thing about the first season is that you didn't see any Cthlulhu monsters, why did they think it would be better to do completely away with it in this season?
>>69697967
>The most disappointing thing about the first season is that you didn't see any Cthlulhu monsters
No.
You're an idiot.
No monsters.
Only dread of the unknown.

please go back to re**it and never post here again
>>69697617
Because it was horrible.
>>69697994
nice argument
This reminds me of glorious memes.
TD season 2 might have made for the most entertaining threads I've ever seen on /tv/.
>>69698028
what argument's have you two faggots brought up expect spouting reddit-tier cringy meme exprressions like muh and hurr-durr, besides also showing you capeshit-loving low attention-span by claiming that the characters had no backstory or exposition
>>69697967
In reality this is the worst fucking type of True Detective fan
You know what, Ray? Some people don't know they're a piece of shit 'til they hit the ground.
>>69698119
The /tv/ threads were definitely more entertaining than the actual show. Vinceposting was great.
>>69697617
>Why the hate?
Short answer - it's because people been expecting something very similar to season 1.
Long answer - too many characters and too little episodes (12 or 14 episode format would've been perfect), plots leading to nowhere, Frank spouting Bane-tier dialogue. There are good things about season 2 as interesting secondary characters (Nails, Ani father), Ray and his dream sequence.

Agreed. I regret not saving more images and screenshotting the threads. I only kept the one I posted and this.

Really?
Evil voodoo swamp rituals and the Yellow King didn't give you Lovecraft vibes?
>>69697617
where is the Vinceposting @T
>>69697617
i don't hate s2, i was just disappointed in it. a lot had to do with the writing. i thought the actors did their parts as well as they could with the material they had. Colin Farrel did a great job as Velcoro but his death was just lame. A lot of the dialogue was just really bad, too, and the direction mediocre. i hope the series can come back with a strong, tighter third season, but having read Galveston, i think Pizzolatto is a limited talented who was paired with a very good director and that's what made the first season magical.
>>69698174
True Detective season 2 is literally cancer, kill yourself
Pizza is a fucking hack. I Loved galveston and i loved the first season.
But his other books and season 2 shows he is not a prolific writer. And that is ok. Some of the greatest writers ever write only one masterpiece. Atleast pizza wrote one and then adapted it to tv.
Pizza has millions. He can go live in the hitchcock swamps for 20 more years and hopefully write another masterpiece like galveston. But for fucks sake don't make him
>>69698254
Vinceposting was a top tier meme and I genuinely am disappointed it never took off.
>>69698647

Well... They say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink... But you know what Ray? I drown the goddam horse instead...
only reddit and the typical neo/tv/ poster hate it
>>69698685
Look, ray. Vinceposting is like squid sex. No one knows how to do it and the times it is done right we get 1000 babies.
Caspere knew this
>>69697967
>he seriously believed there was some kind of cult summoning satan
Dude that would have been the worst ending ever. I can understand people not liking the happy ending, because it doesn't fit the mood, but that would have been the worst.
>>69698821
Does she likes big dicks?
>You know, Ray, some people, they never touch a drop of water, still get hung out to dry. Caspere knew this, and they strung him up on a fucking clothesline. Tell you one thing, Ray, I may be soaking wet, but I got no intention of ending up at the dry-cleaner.
>>69698332
Well you should've looked ahead, but I guess you forgot your glasses.
>It's a "so depressed I waste my life on /tv/" episode
>>69697967
>Rust has brain damage from excessive hard drug use while UC
>Hallucinates because of this
>"why weren't there monsters in the end?"
>>69698899
This is good rayposting
>>69697764
Four? I can only remember the gay cop, annoying bitch and fat pussy dad
Ray and gay god warrior were great
>>69697617
It was just unfocused desu famalam.
So much different shit going on that you barely got to know any the characters except that they were depressed fucked up people who drank way too much.
I really liked some of the themes and some parts of the plot but it just came off as an unfocused mess. I think it really had the potential to be greater than season 1 if they had just focused on the rich people doing crazy shit and getting away with it angle.
>>69698254
i can't remember that one about the one-eyed man, it was fucking amazing
>>69697617
other books? he has only written one novel a book of short stories. i found Galveston underwhelming crime fiction, to be honest. like a bad imitation of Elmore Leonard. how do you get genius from that? if you're talking about the first season of TD, i'd say that was a collaboration with Fukunaga acting as both editor (of the scripts) and director, which kinda dulls Pizzolatto's genius a bit, don't you think?
People are plebs.
>>69698987
Could someone explain what did Rust saw in the ending?what's the deal with that vortex
>>69698685
You think I'd do that Ray? Beat my girl like some kind of fuckin' animal? Only time in my life I raised my hand to a woman was at a Janis Joplin concert, and you better believe I raised 'em both.
>Took me nine months to build this casino, Ray. Nine months. Like giving birth to a concrete stillborn. But in the end, I realized that it wasn't about how hard you push, it was about the doctor's skill. Well, Caspere was my doctor, Ray. Turns out he hadn't washed his hands, and now I'm left dealing with the birth defects.
>>69697617
I couldn't the shootout scene in the 4th episode was actually serious, it was completely ridiculous.
>>69699167
lol
>>69698959
Anon, stahp rubbing it in...
>>69697823
This. S1 was fucking amazing. S2 should have told a parallel story that did not include the same characters, but included some of the same mythos or referenced it to build the show.
Example; use the Hippy fucker to say something like, "Your auroa is yellow and black, I see a timeless sickness in you. You must have been here many times."
instead of, "You have a black and green aura, you must have lived many lives." then a stupid quip about his auroa on the way out the door.
>>69699111
it's the bajoran wormhole from ds9
better overall story
poor execution
Because it's bad, the hate is deserved. Only contrarian retards disagree.
>>69699067
Talk all the shit about galveston you want. But that was a great novel.
There are 32 murders of young girls that happened along i-45
Pizza was in the right place at thr right time. Galveston is my home town. The craziest stuff robert durst ever did was in galveston
>>69699111
It's the throne of the yellow king, it's eternity. In every life Rust accepts his place as the yellow king and is born as Errol Childress, only to die by the hand of Rust.
This time Rust chooses not to become the KiY, and breaks the cycle.
>>69697823
It felt at the beginning like they were going that way. Seemed like it was going to be centered around Bohemian Grove / Moloch, they were dropping clues and references all over the place. Then the second half of the season the references and clues dropped off and it went nowhere.
>>69699167
>Time is money, Ray. Caspere knew this and he became my clockmaker. Now he's gone, and it feels like everything's ticking backwards. There ain't no clocks left in this world. Tell you what, Ray, you do this job for me, I'll make sure your watch is always on time.

They say don't swim until 30 minutes after you eat, but I'm still hungry and I'm drowning anyways.
>>69699644
Basically every time he met Error before he died but this time he broke it by living through it?
>>69697617
Everybody dies at the end & bad guys win
First season was magical.
One of the best I've ever watched. And that ending... It was brilliant.
The second one was just confusing.
>>69697823
Basically this. The atmosphere in S1 was absolutely amazing, in S2 they went generic cop show. It was good, but completely ignored what made S1 amazing.
They said if you have bad dreams get a dream catcher, I would need one the size of an ocean trawler. If I could dream any way
>>69697617
On scale to 1 to 10, as 1 being completely fine and 10 being very disappointed, how did you felt about reveal of Error as main bad guy?
Plot and characters were too cliché
>>69697993
>
what we need to do is create a powerful sense of dread, the longer the note the more dread
>>69697617
I luled a little when I saw the trailer for HBO shows in front of GoT and it said "True Detective: the entire series". I didn't know it was canceled till then.
Should have just been Vince, and Rachel with Colin as a side between the both.
Gay cop sucked and should have been axed and replaced with stupid drunk.
>Never eat when hungry
What did he mean by this?
S2 was even better than S1, plebs don't understand Greek Tragedy.
S2 of TD failed the same reason BvS failed.
Ray was the best character out of both seasons
Pity season two wasn't just him
I don't know man, i fuckin loved it
Also, this guy is the most basic bitch in all series
>HURR DURR I'm L from Death Note
>HURR DURR look me take my drugs I don't even sleep that's for bitches HURR DURR
Really? What the fuck is wrong with him?
>>69697617
it wasn't Season 01
It was actually pretty good and there isn't that much hate
It just had bad pacing and too many characters
>>69703159
This. misunderstood telekino by memeloving Redditors.
>>69703078
The line is actually
>Never do anything out of hunger, not even eating.
It means don't indulge your animalistic temptations for desire, even for something like eating.
Besides what many people said, the setting.
There are shitloads of shows that take place in California and LA. I'm sick of it.
I loved the bayou setting. They could have just stuck with the Deep South and I'd be happy. Lots of wierd shit and people go on there, plus a lot of isolated communities.
>>69699632
not saying it's a bad premise or setting, it's a bad NOVEL. the prose is turgid, the dialogue mediocre, and the sequences somewhat lame. look, it's okay if you like it, but don't mistake it for a great novel just because you live nearby, mate.
>David Cronenberg was offered the opportunity to direct the first episode of the second season, but he declined because he felt the script was poor.
fucking based
>>69699204
Underrated
>>69703159
please explain
>>69699632
The reason I want it to stay in the Deep South is because shit like this happened along I-10 along the Gulf Coast. He even went into flyover states.

>>69701188
it hasn't been canceled and Pizzolatto is under contract. there will be more TD, mate. he's taking his sweet time with it, though, due to his new status as feature writer. that Magnificent Seven movie whose trailer everyone just raved about a few weeks ago, guess who wrote the screenplay?
>>69704140
hehe, i laughed when i heard that. then i saw the first episode of season 2 and realized, Cronenberg was right. it was a poor season. the series can rebound with a strong third, though, but it has to be really fucking strong with one hell of a protagonist.
i'd like for the series to go one of these two routes. either a Bad Lieutenant type story of a crooked cop trying to do right but his sins find him out or a narrative with a Heat-type duality between protagonist and antagonist. oh, and keep it the fuck away from LA.
>>69697617
>pizza had to rush the plot so he just stuck Chinatown and Big Nowhere stuck in a blender
>semyon is a walking cliche spouter whom everyone takes advantage of but the story expects us to think he has smarts and savvy despite getting duped at every opportunity
>bezzerides adds nearly nothing to the show and could probably be cut and the season wouldn't suffer
>woodroughs entire arc is about being gay and hating his mom and then he dies
>different garbage director every episode with few establishing shots
but Ray Velcoro is great, gives me hope that s3 has a chance of being good again
>>69704461
It goes without saying how unsettling that picture is, she's not even bound, but you can tell that any attempt at freedom is futile.
>>69698658
i thought he only has one book?
>>69705914
Velcoro and Frank were 10/10. Only thing stupid about Velcoro was that forced romance with Bezzerides.
S2 was great, ignore the memes
