What do you think? Do you like the True Detective TV series? How do you like this season? Should the show be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
GREAT SHOW! I love the idea of a new cast each year, it will never be as good as Season 1 but Season 2 was better than most shows on tv!
HBO maybe getting cancelled up in the air with the show so not going any farther show.
I like it but it as much as season 1…VERY convoluted but very interesting at the same time. THIS series is NOT ONE for the dull minded
HOPEFULLY a season three, NICK is an incredible writer
Second season is a series of scenes edited together where someone tells to someone what has happened or what is going to happen but nothing really ever happens.
Episode 3 has me reeled in! I found the acting to be superb, especially Taylor Kitsch, but the story opened very slowly. I now understand why. These characters are very complex which has now become very compelling as we start to see them unravel and what has brought them to this point.
I watched and will continue to watch until EP8 is over and done with; I’ll admit THIS season does NOT so far CAPTIVATE ME like season 1 did. Maybe I was spoiled…FWIW I LOVE Colin Ferrel and Vince Vaughn
Pretty good so far. Great group of actors.
Good show, very dark, but it looks like it’s one to boil over when it comes together. The characters are treading the line of the dark-side and will stop at nothing to achive it’s goal…
So far, I like this season better.
