all the lines in the the first episodes that made people fall in love with the show were plagiarized almost verbatim from some broke and hungry rear end horror author, and the actual satanic pedo cult the show was based on was irl scary enough that it barely needed to be adapted.

it was because of cohl's speeches that mccounoughhy signed onto the show in the first place, the speeches that were plagiarized.


it was a promising first season of a show that had at best 2 great episodes, which happens to bring to mind, to me, another hyped rear end show with 2 really good episodes:



td's finale was a wet fart anticlimax that left no one satisfied, also like heroes

you'll see when td comes back. you'll remember this thread. you can be down with the backlash before it even starts

that's my true detective analysis thanks for reading

i dont like bad tv, or tv that will be bad in the future. fargo was bad as it happened. there's a reason the movie didn't have a stock magical sociopath killer badass in it, because that's the opposite of what fargo is about.

true detective was not rly about the criminals. it really was just about the two detectives whose lives are forever changed by this one case

I agree that it didn't quite live up to the hype, but TD has Alexandra Daddario so it's A-OK in my book.

fargo was very good, and so was peaky blinders.

True Detective was actually really good and probably the best HP Lovecraft pastiche ever filmed, the absolute worst part about it were the autist fans that refused to acknowledge the ambiguity of Sci-Fi-Horror/ lingering physical effects of Rust's drug use.

That said, Nic Pizzolatto denied there was supposed to be any ambiguity, which makes me think that he's either an idiot or that Cary Fukunaga was the real genius behind the show and Season 2 has a good chance of sucking as he's no longer aboard, but I'll be happy to have my doubts proven wrong.

Hell Yeah

Most good US stuff is fine for one season. Season 2 to 3 are ok/good sometimes. Very rare does it goes longer and not have poo poo itself completely during season 2 or 3.
