1950s Romantic movie music didn't work for you?

so the 2 missing girls have been found: one dead and the other working at the party.

seems like their departure from the mansion was too easy. Should have had the Mayor's son or someone else recognize Ani.

and we have the new mystery of who stole the blue diamonds back in 1992 and killed the shop owners

anyone else think that the two kids who survived the jewelry heist are the mayor's kids, right?

Edit to clarify that this is just a guess.

And 2 episodes to wrap it all up, which I'm guessing means we once against have a lot of unanswered questions.

Breaking into a mansion spec-ops style and stealing what should obviously be highly guarded incriminating evidence was lazy writing in Season 1, and even more-so here in Season 2.

did i miss that?

it's just a guess on my end. But they showed the picture of the two kids and made mention of them in the foster system. Dark hair/ dark complexion and I think the ages seem about right.

I'm pretty sure the sweet haired police chief was at the party.

i thought it was very entertaining. not sure what some of you are looking for in this show. sadly this thread has devolved into a complaining competition.

Damn I came away loving the episode.

The CF scene with his "son" and the subsequent rock bottom acceptance phone call with his ex wife is one of the most intense and dramatic scenes I've seen on TV, including TD season 1. That was heavy ****. The entire mansion break-in scene with the rescue ad Ani slicing dicing guys while drugged was badass.

That episode was great.

How was Delcoro driving so fast without lights, and also Woodruph was reading contracts in the same dark car? I'm still trying to figure out how this episode advanced anything. Of course I still have to watch it twice more to see what I missed.

At this point in the show I think the Russian and Frank's ginger lackey have the most reasonable motive and possibly colluded. In my theory:

The Russian wanted to invest in the railway but wanted to cut out Frank (the middle man) and go straight to the source. He put the lackey on the payroll in order to find out what Frank knew and had him start working the parties to get an inside perspective from that angle too.

Once they found out that Frank was investing through Caspere and that the rail execs were cooking the books to hide the investment, he knew that there was no way to follow the money trail. He decided to have Caspere killed and invest directly with the execs.

But then again it could just be the guy mowing the lawn at the elementary school

Can't put my finger on it, but tonight's episode just felt......off. I felt like I was watching an action movie, not true detective.

Although I loved the "put it somewhere......like in your shoe" line.

'Twas a full moon. At least that's what the two guys being spied on in the mansion said. Not saying it makes it more believable...but maybe it counts for something.

I thought it was a well-paced episode. Agree with Bunk on the scene with CF on the phone with his wife. That was absolute nails.

This thread has turned into a beating. Do most of yall watch it to post about how much you disliked it? Man.

Haven't talked to a single person in real life who doesn't think this season is pretty good.

Apparently being a true detective in both Season 1 and Season 2 involves breaking into the mansion and stumbling upon all the incriminating evidence then stealing it.


I'm ready for season 3 when Nick Nolte breaks into the bad guy mansion, and spots a tape/binder/folder with all the evidence on it.....then gets hammered and forgets to take it with him.

True Detective.

The only thing good about tonight's episode was CF's acting involving his son and the Mexican standoff line.

You know who I want for True Detective season 3 for real? You may not know the names, but they would knock it out of the park- good guys or bad guys.

I know you in real life and I don't like it. My previous comment didn't add to the thread, apologies for that, but I honestly don't see how people think this show is good. I won't muck up the thread anymore.

3 great episodes in a row. Can't wait to see how they wrap it up during the last 2.

That episode was awesome, I really don't know what some of you are complaining about. I think you made up your mind beforehand that you weren't going to like it.

I loved it. Fit the mood and reminded me of Hitchcock.

It can help. Also a rush of adrenaline and almost dying would clear you up a bit too.

By that point, it wouldn't, but I don't really give a crap about medical accuracy in TV shows not about medicine.

Haven't seen tonight's episode but Jesus chrost there's a lot of whiners here. I'm actually enjoying this season a lot. It has a different vibe than last but I'm good with that.

So you've got, Bezzerides, the straight laced cop, and Frank, the bad guy, both investigating the same case with Velcoro as the link between them (shout out to CLUE).

True Detective take on good cop versus bad cop here. Which one is the true detective depends on who's methods yield the best result, I guess.

Sidebar: I particularly enjoyed VV's performance this week. He's much better as the macabre bad guy when you can chuckle uncomfortably at Frank.

Was about to post the exact same thing. During that entire sequence I kept thinking, "This music is perfect." Some of you want the most boring/standard/expected choices. The music MADE that sequence. Felt like an old caper, which was obviously the point. Loved it.

I definitely noticed the music, and enjoyed the uniqueness of it.

Agree about the music. Set the tone so well. Seriously that episode was as good as almost any on TV
