So far this season has been full of bad writing and boring direction. It looks like Fukunaga is what carried the first season, and why this when won't be nearly as good.

Some shows are extremely well-written. So well-written that almost anyone can carry them. Others are exceptionally well-directed.

What set the first season apart was the performance of McConaughey. He was LeBron on the '07 Cavs.

Also, unsurprisingly, Alexandra Daddario said her phone hasn't stopped ringing since HBO aired episode 2.

No joke. With that face and her knockers... she's a ****ing forest fire.

Add in Fukunaga's direction and I absolutely agree with you. Looks like the concerns over Cary's departure were well justified.

I don't care how many seasons this lasts...they will never outdo the revealing of Alexandra Daddario's tittahs.

"Ballers" tried their best with that one tonight...

I never understood the creepiness of the internet until she got naked on True Detective. Holy shit did it get creepy.


ANyways, this season has reached Lost levels of spinning their tires on plot.

Holy ****. I've seen hormonal thirteen year olds deliver more artful rants than Ep. 3's potshot at Cary. Pizzolatto is a douche on the highest order.

He really is.

How much you want to we get Ani sleeping with Colin Farrell (obv) and then trying to with Riggins (which will only not happen cause he's the gay).

Cause you know...she's a woman and they're angry, crazy sluts.

I'm amused that I had to have this pointed out to me. Didn't even notice the similarities.

That ep did absolutely nothing for me.

Apparently Vinci is inspired by a real place...a small, corrupt (at least, previously corrupt) town just outside of LA:

I love everything about that part of California. It's raw and industrial, bright and dark at the same time. The setting is cool.

I thought they were supposed to do it more "LA Confidential" era but I can see how they got lazy and didn't want to put up with all the production cost sending the story back 75 years.

There's something up with that bar. Like purgatory or an alternate reality of some sort, or something.

What's with Frank telling the waitress that someone murdered Velcoro? Talking to his dad there while unconscious. Always the standout art direction there. The waitress' face is messed too.
