Give it back to Fukunaga. It's clear Pizzeria was just piggybacking his talent.

Although S2 wasn't the shitfest it was made out to be, the quality between the two seasons is fucking jarring. Justin Lin probably didn't help either.

>Nic Pizzolatto, creator of the HBO TV series “True Detective”, was found dead today in Los Angeles. Police said he appeared to have hanged himself. He was 39.

>The officer responsible for investigating the death said that the writer had hanged himself with a cord from the suite’s curtains. A rope was also found around his genitals. Police said Pizzolatto’s body was taken to a hospital for an autopsy that would be carried out today.

>According to the hotel maid who found the body, his suicide note was "as poorly written as the second season" of his TV show. "Certain experiences you can't survive, and afterward you don't fully exist, even if you failed to die", Pizzolatto wrote. He also mentioned feeling depressed about HBO refusing to renew his contract, following low ratings and negative reviews. HBO declined to comment.

>Pizzolatto is survived by his wife, Amy, and their 5 year-old daughter.

It's like the witcher series on a contemporary theme with cops with a cynical geralt

It didn't matter what a potential storyline or cast or setting s3 might have had. It wasn't topping s1. Pizzaman had worked on it for over a decade. HBO got a great up and coming filmmaker to realise the vision and put it on screen, coupled with two powerhouse actors with a chemistry together that can't be bottled or defined.

It's very difficult to make actually, with the dozens of shit cop shows currently in circulation to prove it. True Detective S1 reached a level of atmosphere and tone that most shows (or films) could only dream of. But "atmosphere" ill defined. It can't be faked or forced. The tone of TD s1 is what made it special and stirred up the fervour for the viewers. Add to that, the excellent cast, pacing and cinematography and you've created something that's very hard to replicate.

S2 was (rightly IMO) disliked because there was no foil for the unadulterated moodiness and depression. Rust worked because Marty existed. There was no one in s2 to lift the mood out of the black, straight-faced mire every once in a while.

The plot was also baffling. Pizzolatto managed to somehow create a story that was simultaneously convoluted and paper thin. It just wasn't compelling at all.

Pizzapie's biggest mistakes were 1) relocating it to LA, and 2) all but completely scrapping the supernatural elements.

Like holy shit, the first season was great due to the blend of Southern darkness and Lovecraftian horror alluded to in passing, was he literally too autistic to understand this? I swear Fukunaga was responsible for literally everything good in S1.

Crazy. HBO probably thought they had a new mainstay after season 1 and it all went to shit just as fast.

That's what they thought about Vinyl too. So the only shows they can bank on now are GoT, Veep and Last Week Tonight. Even LWT relies on Youtube hits more than ratings.

Didnt S2 still do well ratings wise?

And while it didnt get the acclaim one did, it still had an average rating on most websites

>Also, the rotating director format was awful for season 2.

It's a stupid idea regardless of the tv show, as it encourages each director to "hit it out'a the park" with some kinda shocking scene no matter how unrelated it is to the overall story being told.

I have no idea why it's become so common - presumably because it's cheeper for the network?...

It's about rock stars and producers in the Seventies. It was greenlit for two seasons with $100 million budget. The showrunner got kicked out after season one. The same thing happened with the new Muppets series and that still got cancelled.
>>
>>70023526
It's a staple for TV shows though. The Wire did it. Mad Men did it. Sopranos.

If anything sticking to one director for the whole season/show is the exception. Something that, IMO, that work quite well a lot of the time as it allows for greater creative control and pacing.

It all boils down to deals and creative partnerships though.

Because TV shows don't have time to wait for a director to prep, film, cut their work.

>>Raven mask was just a camera man who stole a sex mask from off of the wall

Yes I was very disappointed there, I was pulling for Burress to be the Raven mask man. Anyone remember some of the early theories that circulated about who the man in the Raven mask was and who he worked for? Some of the theories were pretty interesting and honestly were better than what we got, I think.

>>70022028
>S2 was (rightly IMO) disliked because there was no foil for the unadulterated moodiness and depression. Rust worked because Marty existed

Yeah I wholeheartedly agree with you there, every character was Rust, there was no voice to keep him in check and point out the flaws in his bitter angry rants. Pizza tried to do too much in terms of the characters and the story. All that stuff that he threw in at the last minute with the diamond heist was completely unnecessary I felt.

HBO is fucking retarded now a days.

Vinyl was trash and they have literally nothing worth watching after that other than """""""GoT""""""

Sicario should've been our season 2. Give that director and writer episodes to expand on that story and with Roger Deakins controlling the camera and we have easily revived True Detective

>>70024150
well yeah, they rejected all kinds of stuff

for a while pretty much anyone with a tv show pitch would always go to HBO first, which means that almost all popular shows that started in the 2000's had once been rejected by HBO

Season 2 was Superior to season 1 in every aspect excepted dialogues. /tv/ cucks only hate it because there wasn't enough "symbolism" for them to intellectually wank about.

>>
>>70024299
>Forced sex, violence and tits
>violence
Breaking Bad was already violent as fuck anyway, nevermind the walking dead. And considering HBO has enough shows without violence, I don't think it's really a concern
Sex and tits is the same worry and HBO at least does it better than other networks
Especially for something like Preacher which feels empty without it
>>70024345
I understand maybe being cautious of the walking dead - a comic book adaptation
And breaking bad was a random-as-fuck drug-dealing glorification starring a sitcom dad- you can see why they'd be hesitant
You know, clearly they didn't want to take a risk

But after Walking Dead was so fucking successful, they still passed on Preacher
What the actual fuck?!

You also have to consider that shooting for 8-10 hours of content straight is pretty nuts. Fukunaga said he wouldn't want to do it again. It was far too stressful. Pretty hard to find a director that dedicated.
