Title: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: theis on Jan 14, 2014, 11:52 PM
Anyone watched the Pilot?

It was fantastic.

I thought Hannibal was a bleak show, but holy hell, this takes the cake.

So dark. I adore it already. McConaughey's comeback continues into 2014! Also can't wait to see the goods from Harrelson's sidepiece, Miss Depositions, haha.


Even the music is awesome, with T Bone Burnett doing the supervising. Black Angels at the end. And that opening credits theme song...I'm always pleasantly surprised when a show opens with awesome music.

Loved this show so much and I'm gonna miss it immensely, from the opening credits, the incredible acting, the bickering of Hart and Cohle, the philosophical ramblings and minor clues about something deeper. And the surprisingly optimistic ending. Holy shit, that was groin-grabbingly good.

Good to know there will be a second season but for some reason i just feel that nothing will top season 1.

A lot of people said the same about McConaughey, but I think he'll be good in this. Same with Colin Farrell - he's incredible in the right role. June 21 can't come soon enough.

I thought it was a great episode.

Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: blixa on Jun 24, 2015, 04:22 PM
first of all, i'm really noticing fukunaga's absence and secondly, i was right about vaughn. completely miscast. i thought the first episode was very shit and the symbolism was way too obvious. they're either going to have a very unspectacular second season to work up to a better third season or it will pick up. i'm hoping it's the latter. some of the dialogue was really contrived. i felt like they were personally apologising to me by using an ellis and cave song in the end.

overall i'm very disappointed, but i will keep watching.
Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: blixa on Jun 24, 2015, 04:23 PM
and they had access to cohen's entire discography and made a bad choice. i'm not feeling the opening song for the show and i say this as a big cohen fan.
Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: bright lights, big city on Jun 24, 2015, 04:56 PM
I thought that song at the end sounded familiar. I can see your complaints, and I'm not in on Vaughn just yet. I think he's got it in him to be alright in this role.

Had no problem with the script though. Contrived? I guess maybe somewhat, but when I tune in to TD, I want some dark characters, with dark philosophies and dialogue, and that makes me happy. Maybe the way everything was delivered was a little contrived, but I still dig it.

And like I said before, I'm in no matter what. If it's half as good as last year, I'll like it. Of shows that I'm watching right now, a mediocre TD is still my 2nd favorite show after Hannibal.
Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: blixa on Jun 24, 2015, 05:33 PM
i'm just...not feeling vaughn whatsoever. but i've thought he's shit in everything. colin farrell was good. i also liked mcadams.

the insults didn't make sense. there was no dark philosophies and dialogue really. and when it tried to go there that's when it sounded contrived. i don't want another season one because that's already been done and it was brilliant, but i feel it shouldn't try so hard.

and taylor kitsch with his erectile dysfunction. omg.

well from what I've heard (a podcast I just conveniently listened to), critics have seen 3 eps, and each gets better and better. If that means more smoking, snorting coke, drinking Modelo, and a bottle of scotch, then putting on a ski mask, I'm alllllll in.

Hopefully that is the case. I think it's early to judge the potential of the season after just one episode. It usually takes at least a few episodes for shit to get really good, and for me to truly get into said shit.

i read an article that they had access to three episodes. i'll see if it does. i have a really shitty feeling about vaughn. he just looks out of place. i'm loving this self-destructive route velcoro is on. i was cringing at everything he was doing almost like, "DON'T DO IT, BITCH. DON'T DO IT!" and then he goes and does it.

i don't hate it. i know it comes off as i do but i don't. i think the slowness is great. i just miss the southern twaaaaang haha

Post by: bright lights, big city on Jun 29, 2015, 04:09 PM
So I guess now I'm going all Game of Thrones for the end of this episode. Can't be dead.

And I liked Vaughn in this one. I think he's doing alright, even if sometimes I'm picturing him as his character in Wedding Crashers when he walks around. His monologue was pretty awesome, maybe not quite on the level of Rust Cohle's best, but I dug it.

Moar Bezzerides looking up pr0n, please. And drunk mayor FTW. Kinda weird how much I laugh during this show.

could it be one of those guns that isn't a gun? you know, one of those guns that have something else in them besides bullets. oh, forget it. i hate guns.

i think he might have been wearing a vest. he can't die. he's in the rest of the show. unless he's there in flashbacks. nah. not dead. can't be.
Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: bright lights, big city on Jul 03, 2015, 04:11 PM
Gotta be a vest. And yeah, could've been those beanbag rounds they use for riots. Or rock salt rounds.

Maybe birdman shot off his dick like they specifically/horribly showed earlier in the episode, and wanted to keep him alive.
Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: blixa on Jul 03, 2015, 05:15 PM

Anyway, I'm not buying Vaughn either so far. I don't mind him as an actor at all, he can be good, but I'd have expected more grit to his character in this.
Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: blixa on Jul 05, 2015, 02:38 PM

stronger episode. killer opening. i loved it. too much screen time for vaughn. he is just shit. i cannot believe his character at all.

total kudos for the will oldham song at the end. that man is my soul.
Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: bright lights, big city on Jul 06, 2015, 05:40 PM
That opening was outstanding. Definitely think each episode is getting better. And every scene that has the mayor in the background, drink in hand, has me laughing my ass off. I want even more of his family now.


I still disagree about Vaughn though. I think this one put me in his corner now. He convinced me, especially with the club scene. Not once did I think about Wedding Crashers.
Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: blixa on Jul 07, 2015, 09:26 AM

i don't think it'll end well for him. bezzerides is warming to him and man, did he save her life. i think mcadams' character is probably named after a. i. bezzerides. something will likely happen between bezzerides and velcoro though. i'm such a cliche but i hope so!
Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: Vesanic on Jul 12, 2015, 02:50 AM
I get there's a whole lot of "fucking" in modern series scripts, but Vaughn saying it all the fucking time really gives his character a forced attitude. It's weird, it's like he can do good damage but sticks to rusty guns acting wise. I just hope he goes apeshit honestly.

I actually enjoy vince Vaughan in this show. He's a good shit talker
Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: Vesanic on Jul 29, 2015, 03:09 AM
I'm about to through episodes 5 and 6.

I'll be honest and say this season has been totally lackluster so far. Back in season one I was hooked on the first episode and addicted at the end of episode 3 if I recall well. I know it's not about comparing but I'd feel the same way if not worse if season 1 didn't exist. Vaughn is just completely useless, I want to slap him whenever he coarses because you just feel how forced it is. I don't like Rachel McAdams' act at all, especially since I feel they chose her only for her aspect. Last but not least, the story is just absolutely fucking boring.

Farrell is the only good part but even his shit is getting old.


Hoping for better things in those episodes I'm about to watch, let's hope I'll want to swallow back all I've just said.
Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: bright lights, big city on Jul 29, 2015, 03:38 AM
I'm still enjoying this, and having fun watching it. Sure there are faults. Like who the hell is Stan; what happened to Birdman; who cares about Blake; me wanting more Bohemian Grove and Santa Muerte stuff. With Vince Vaughn, I'm enjoying him - he is usually either pretty good or so bad it's hilarious and awesome (and some of it could be chalked up to some lame writing).

But I love my crime dramas, and where else on tv am I going to find (mostly) awesome actors going on benders, spewing random existential, sometimes cliched nonsense, while solving some fucked up crimes? This is pretty much exactly what I want in a show like this.

And give me more depressing bar scenes.

Oh man, I don't know. There was so much magic. Was it Frank repeatedly saying "Two weeks. Or less." to everyone?

So why couldn't we get more of the bar owner and Nails this season, instead of Woodrugh's mom and Stan's family? And why didn't we even find out Frank's driver was named Nails until the finale?

Title: Re: True Detective (new HBO show)
Post by: bright lights, big city on Aug 11, 2015, 04:08 PM
Agreed on the Ray's Dad part. That was probably the ultimate sad moment.


But that ending was exactly what I liked. I love when shows and movies have depressing or bad endings. Things rarely work out the way you want. Also makes you look for some sort of silver lining. Like the ginger kid really was Ray's (even though he never officially knew) and now he's got a second son. And the hope that the reporter Ray beat up will actually successfully bring the bad guys into the public eye and get some justice.


Wasn't the first season kind of similar in that regard? The main characters may have survived, but with the exception of Lawnmower Man the bad guys (especially with money) stayed free I think.

i love those types of endings too but the way frank went out was just borderline boring for me. ray's ending was a lot more believable. i would like to think that ani and jordan get married and raise ray's son together.

the first season had a lot more to it and a lot more substance than this season did. i think every twist and turn and every piece of dialogue had a place within the wider context of the narrative. season two: not so much.

This is still my favorite scene of the season, with the added bonus that it accurately predicted exactly how Ray would die.
