what made it so good
>>69776432
Pacing, cinematography, practically everybody's acting was on their A game and even if they weren't they had the tits to get them through
>>69776432
Great writing. Superb direction. And truly simpatico chemistry.

setting, matt+woody=gold

Because we all felt identified with rust, /tv/ its just like him
It's a police procedural with a weird fiction twist. So it felt like something new.
Plus Rust is like the ultimate fedora self-insert.

I was annoyed by one thing that didn't made sense. But overall i liked it.
>>69776432
- Top-tier chemistry between the leads
- Fukunaga's direction was on a whole other level from most mainstream film cinematographers, let alone television
- Pervasive ambiance of seedy dread with hints of something beyond comprehension lurking beneath the surface
- Consistent tension and perfect pacing
fuck i love the intro song

I wish I had discovered The Handsome Family before this show. Now I can't be smug and hipstery about it.

Woody and Matthew had like 3-4 movies they were in together to work on getting their chemistry being perfect.
Fukunaga's direction and cinematography we can recognize from Beasts of no Nation, being without reproach as well.
Oddly enough, Fukushima kinda went astray with parts of Beasts of no Nation with an incoherent plot towards the end, and Pizzeria convoluted the shit out of the second season until it sort of imploded on itself, and couldn't be told in a well paced and coherent manner.
I think those two need eachother.

you can always lie like i do.

Season 2 didnt even have a moment that bad.
It wasn't.
>>69776432
The classic chemistry of Matt and Woody. The unconventional theft of Thomas Ligotti. Pacing. Fukunaga doing likely the greatest thing he ever will. Prime setting. Dialogue. Pizzo.
GOAT show of a generation for sure.

i have more hope in Fukunaga producing top tier work than Pizzolatto writing any. different jobs, though. Fuk can pair up with a decent writer and produce amazing work. Piz needs a great director to elevate his material. however, i would love to see the two collaborate again, but it seems Piz isn't that fond of Fuk.
also, let's not forget Piz's theft of Alan Moore and Grant Morrison concepts and material.

in comparison to S2, they took years writing and tweaking the plot until it was really good and finished.
they rushed S2 so they story wads a hot mess, it they had taken their time with it and trimmed it down it could have been a good season. HBO even said this, so lets hope they follow through this time
The GOAT opening credits sequence.

the setting was intimate and personal. the show suffered in its second year because it didnt seem like california at all. that and the characters were a joke.

Second season was still good though, not as good as S1 but still better than 90% of TV and whatever HBO is airing right now, both from a directorial standpoint and a characterization standpoint.
It just wasn't as good as the first one.

>procedural
Don't know what that word means, do you pleb?

S2 was not better than Silicon Valley...I bet you don't even FUCK
>>69784722
I will try and answer for him as it was my only "wat" moment in the entire season, what the fuck was the Galaxy that was in the big bad guy final fight scene? Just Rust losing consciousness?
>>69781098
Haven't seen beasts of no nation, but i know season 2 was definitely rushed. Not saying fukunaga doesn't better pizza, but I think that still would've had problems because of timing. Fukunaga is getting a bunch of jobs, though, right? I feel like tons of new projects I read about involve him.
Best scene of each season
