boxington 10/18/18 12:30:54 AM #7:	season two was lame, IMO.

MrToothHasYou 10/18/18 2:19:41 AM #16:	Its quite bad. I still found it enjoyable, but it felt like I was watching a satire of True Detective rather than the actual show. I cannot stress enough how bad Vince Vaughns dialogue is, or how badly he performs it. It is almost farcical. The music and cinematography are as good as the first season, which is to say impeccable. Its just the writing and some of the acting that sucks. --- http://weareontherun.bandcamp.com ^^^^^ HEY! ^^^ LISTEN! ^^^^^ <cite>MrToothHasYou posted [p:910723550] in Is True De...

Mister_Spyker 10/18/18 8:50:47 AM #24:	I don't know how people go on saying it's bad. Season 1 was genius, sure, but Season 2 was also outstanding in my opinion. I loved the characters, they were very well portrayed by each actor, and the story was also intriguing until the very end. It's not the same as Season 1, it's a very different type of setting, but the spirit of the first season was still there, imo. I haven't rewatched the 1st season since it came out, but I want to rewatch the 2nd one. Maybe I have bad taste, I don't care, I enjoyed it thoroughly --- Dear lord, Spyker just ripped his entire life apart in nothing more than a few paragraphs.

So_Hajile 10/18/18 11:38:48 AM #29:	It's worth watching just for Vaughn's bizarre dialogue: "You're asking me if he's that kind of guy. He looks half anaconda, half great white." "Your worst self is your best self" "A good woman mitigates our baser tendencies." "Frankly, I'm apoplectic." "I'm feeling a little apoplectic myself." "I never lost a tooth.
