Hope it can live up somewhat to the first season, but I'm sure it's going to be really difficult to top Harrelson and McConaughey's performances.
Currently reading Pizalotto's book Galveston. Pretty good so far, Cormac McCarthy-esque. Would recommend to anyone who likes the show and the Texas locations are a plus.
I'd say O&C should look into it TC, but I'm sure there's no way it hasn't been picked up already.
quote:Why yes, yes it does. I struggled through he first couple episodes before realizing "Woah, let me go back and watch those again." to catch all the little stuff. That first season had it all. Great writing. Incredible acting performances. A plot that will keep you guessing and re-thinking. Incredible filmmaking skill including probably one of the most impressive single take shots ever done in television later in the season. And of course, this:
Is it unrelated to the first season completely?
Still have to finish season 1. Only got 3 or 4 eps in. Does it pick up?

True Detective season 1 might be my favorite season of TV ever made. It was brilliant and the best part was that it came out of nowhere, at least for me.
Will be tough to come close to it with season 2. That being said, I cannot wait.

My sentiments exactly. I didn't even have HBO but I got it because of what I was hearing about this show. It is the best single season of TV I've ever seen. Better than any season of The Wire or Breaking Bad, which are two of my favorite shows of all time.
quote:I think part of the appeal is it is a 1 season show so they can get movie actors to do it that would normally not do TV. Lots of pressure on the writer/director though to keep the quality up but they should be able to attract some fantastic acting talent.
Without going into detail, I was/am so bummed about their not being a season 2 with the same cast/storyline because I felt like they could have easily kept it going with the way S1 ultimately ended.
I agree it was probably my favorite one season of any show ever. I loved season one.
quote:Definitely. At the end of the day, there are still much bigger/powerful people behind the grand scheme of things that were going on (Rev. Tuttle). Pair that with what's been said about some of the unfulfilled story lines and they could have easily kept it going. I understand their line of thinking though and I definitely agree with them being able to land some top tier actors after S1. I hope it continues to impress.quote:I think part of the appeal is it is a 1 season show so they can get movie actors to do it that would normally not do TV.

It was frustrating though as I was sure there was more going on with the daughters/grandfather/cult in some way that never went anywhere.
quote:I don't know of anyone that actually cares about that "scandal" other than people that like to get angry at stuff on the internet. This show is, by far, the most buzzed about show of the summer, and I think the large majority of people have either forgot about the plagiarism allegations, never heard about that, or don't care whatsoever.
The plagiarism scandal will bite this guy if season 2 doesn't hold up. Of course he denied it but the evidence speaks for itself.

Buzzed about this show returning...
... but honestly more buzzed that it's well done so I can have even more excitement for Pennywise coming to the big screen under the director's helm.

Try typing the anatomical, scientific name for male genitalia. Can't have that sort of filth around here!

I'm afraid I'm about to disappoint you on two fronts...
1) Cary ***unago didn't direct this season.
2). ***unago dropped out of It just last week. He will no longer be directing.
