Anyone watching the season 2 premiere of True Detective tonight? I heard its not as good as the first season.
I'm going to wait till the whole series is out and watch the lot in one go. I'm quite looking forward to it, though, as it kind of seems like it would be so rubbish (starring Vince Vaughn, directed by the bloke who did the Fast and Furious films…) but I'm sure as it's for True Detective it will be good!
After watching the first episode, my feeling is that its overly serious and stylistic for no good reason. And the music sucks from beginning to end.
If anyone has to take the blame, it should be Nic Pizzolatto more than the director. It is his creation, writing all the episodes.
I've got the Clandestine Revolutionary True Detective Critical Studies Group convening in front of my TV tomorrow night.
