it was structured and paced really badly. it’s not a matter of intelligence or taste, those two things are genuinely fricking bad in that season.
one of you s2 lovers should edit it into something watchable
I don’t expect it to be a copy of season 1, but it was obviously too ambitious to work. You have to be a masochist to disagree about the pacing being awful
you keep saying that as if it's true
it's held up perfectly and honestly the best part about it is how deliberate the pacing is
it takes it's time and doesn't feel rushed, it gets to where it needs to go and sticks the landing wonderfully
S2 is an actual, unironic filter. People just level the most idiotic and untrue accusations because they just can't process it. It deals with actually heavy themes and not bullshit that only appeals to atheist morons who only liked S1 because they became obsessed with Rust. S2 doesn't waste a single second, all of it pays off and the ending was a perfect payoff for all of it's themes.
yeah no, it sucks
by the ending of the 4th episode (which is precisely where I dropped it), you have no less than 8 subplots, two for each main character. you could argue that Roy had even more than that if you include the scenes with his not-son. it’s incomprehensible how anyone thinks that is acceptable for a tv show, that is some shit that you do for a video game, not within 4 episodes of a tv show
sorry you can't follow more than one thread at once bro
maybe stick to slop like the killer champ

>the wire
thematically repetitive and simplistic. You can get the subtext of any season by just watching 2-3 eps, and the characters aren't fleshed out enough (as against e.g., The Sopranos and TDS1 and S2)

and perhaps the difference is the genre. it’s idiotic to make a mystery show with 8 different mysteries. it spread itself too thin
It shouldn't be called True Detective if it's "doing it's own thing" you soulless zoomer. It's not creepy enough, it's just a cop show with esoteric dialogue.
It was a copy to get morons like back to consoom because Americans are so stupid, they can't actually understand the concept of an anthology and just want the same slop.

The main problem with Season 2 is that it's not about detective work, it's a bunch of detectives trying to survive a conspiracy. There's a process to detective work that makes it so interesting to watch, especially in the beginning when they don't know anything yet.

But they do, this is a straight up lie. That's all they do. This is what I'm talking about, S2 has only dishonest and straight up libelous criticisms. Everything to do with Caspere dispels this.

They have an urgency hanging over their heads that eliminates the comfiness that was so prevalent in Season 1. Also LA is a gritty urban setting which is more stress inducing than Louisiana or Arkansas.

there's so much on the line constantly and each character is fighting for their souls the entire runtime
it just didn't have enough of the basic b***h spoonfed narrative as s1 and it confused the frick out of the midwits
it's expertly written and crafted period
it's ironic how many dorks here loved the killer for being a cynical sardontic slog but can't into s2 for actually pulling it off in an even more grim, hopeless, nihilistic way that actually lands and ends up redeeming its charters in the end

I wonder what they will do in S4 to subvert expectations. Will Jodie foster enter into a lesbian relationship with her partner? Or will she end up being the murderer all along?
Every time I give a chance to the 2nd season, it goes like this : >Start episode 1 >Get to the scene where Colin Farell comes up to the Bully's house >"Stop bullying the kid or I will butt frick yuor dad." >Dropped

Way too cringe, it feels like a fantasy written by a guy bullied in middle school. >"Fricking Chad... My cool alchoolic will beat yuo now... Frick yuo..."
You have zero media literacy and are probably moronic. That ending is the complete opposite. Ani was a girlboss for sure but she gave up the schtick and had Ray's baby and embraced her femininity plus she's on the run for the rest of her life along with Vince's wife. How is that a girlboss ending? She honors Ray who's the father of her child and raises the kid on her own and cried when she learned he died. Also, the gay guy would rather die than admit he's gay and had a kid with a woman. S2 is too based and redpilling which is why it got memoryholed.
Too plot heavy, too many characters. You don't even know who the frick Caspere is until like four episodes in but everyone won't shut up about him. You literally have to watch with subtitles because everyone mutters all this plot intensive dialogue under their breath.
I'd say just cut out the gay guy and the female and keep it about Vince and Colin since they had great chemistry and the best storyline and it's an instant 10/10.
>I would've been different. I could've >Of all the lies people tell themselves, I bet that's the most common.
Kino. I'd say on the same level as Rust and Marty.
Yep. Gay Guy and Ms. Tough Girl were shoehorned in. Especially Gay Guy. They should have had their own season together and their backstories linked into the plot better. Especially exploring the political left's ideological support of pedophilia that really came to a head in the 60s/70s and got her molestered.
This. But to be fair, as has been pointed out, even their storylines were pretty based. Gay guy rejected his homosexuality and the woman embraced her femininity. That along with what you pointed out and THIS
90% of the hate for the season was a politically-driven negging campaign because Vince was in it.
just proves it was swept under the rug because Pizzolatto flew too close to the sun which is why S3 and 4 are just humiliation rituals.
Perhaps but it touched and had storylines and themes that were pretty non-grata by Hollywood circles and Pizzolato was relegated to advisor in the following seasons. Them insinuating Hollywood are just a bunch of pedophiles hit too close to home and he's barely done anything of note since and has now to scrape the barrel with capeshit writing.
>I'd say just cut out the gay guy and the female and keep it about Vince and Colin since they had great chemistry
I can't argue with that
I think he did. Farrell's acting is always great, but in TDS2, he out acted basically everyone from any season of TD.
[...]
Yeah they could have cut out 1-2 of the leads and their stories and relied on Farrell and Vaughn more. Would be an improvement, but still love S2
Personally I'd put him on par with McConaughey, but I might be biased

I don't know, I thought Vince had the best performance equal to Farrell. He really nailed it here and he had an absolutely fantastic chemistry with Colin which when it released, I doubted how they could gel together but it was fantastic. If S2 had cut the other ESG roles, it'd be on the same par as S2. No matter the tone or setting, TD should always be about two detectives and their dynamic. Vince should have been a detective. Go watch Dragged Across Concrete to see what that would have been like. That's a much more interesting alternate S2 of TD.
there was a second season?
it was structured and paced really badly. it’s not a matter of intelligence or taste, those two things are genuinely fricking bad in that season.
one of you s2 lovers should edit it into something watchable
nah it was paced perfectly
there's just too many nerds who keep trying to shoehorn it into s1's structure when it's clearly doing its own thing

Just frick off and watch Marvel, that's more your speed.
Season 3 is very similar to 1 so someone with decision making responsibilities also realized that 2 was too different.

It was about political corruption, which is boring, unlike the occult themes of the first season. Also, the good guys lost.
Grow up. S2 is actually mature and deals with real life stuff, not spooky nonsense that never gets resolved anyhow.

Why does that scene filter you so much?
Way too cringe, it feels like a fantasy written by a guy bullied in middle school.
>"Fricking Chad... My cool alchoolic will beat yuo now... Frick yuo..."
I'm sorry if you were raised like a pussy.
So you haven't even watched the buttfricking scene. Wow, you're so straight
>>"Stop bullying the kid or I will butt frick yuor dad."
He actually says "I'll buttfrick your dead on this lawn with your mom's headless corpse."
This is edgy, mature, real life shit and if you can't handle it than you need to grow the frick up.
I didn't even watch and it filtered me
because it was bad
the girl boss ending was the shit cherry on top

bro half the people here are telling you that it got memory holed because none of us with sense could even finish it
Exactly the point of the thread. You got filtered massively.
Embarassing fricking post. Unironically have a nice day with your ''le zero media literacy'' flavor of the month bandwagon meme reply.

There's a reason it was written in like 6 months or some shit
>it's still better than any TV show made after and most that were made before
I kneel, Pizzaman.
Somebody post the Ray druk breadown webm.
The fact that even Colin Farrell couldn't carry it is quite telling.
I'd say just cut out the gay guy and the female and keep it about Vince and Colin since they had great chemistry and the best storyline and it's an instant 10/10.

I liked it more than the first
This. I can't really rewatch S1, S2's pace lends itself more to rewatch. S1 also has these endless lame subplots about Marty and it's unbearable.
Because Breakdancing on a Yogis Pincushion is sometimes the only way to save the Girl. Caspere knew this.
