i stand by what i said about it being overrated but really most decent shows are probably overrated if you spend enough time on the internet where all the superfans tend to be vocal about their opinions

i forgot about some stuff though. forgot that rust bangs woody harrelsons wife hahah. also forgot that dope chick from banshee was in it

I really liked it for the first handful of episodes but then I started to get bored and I haven't bothered to finish it.

good, the first few episodes are good and then it devolves into a lovely show for smart people who want to show how smart they are by uhhhh watching TV

every moment past that shootout where they narrarate the cover-up version as the actual events are playing are really poo poo and bad but that part is good so stop watching then and assume they hosed up the cover-up and go to jail the end

It really was an awesome scene.

my only real problem with the show is that it climaxes in the middle of the season and then the end feels disappointing by comparison. season 2 looks pretty good a new trailer for it came out yesterday

when i first saw the show i really thought the shootout/escaping the ghetto part was awesome but on second watch, while still awesome, it seems to lose some of its luster.

also that fist fight between rus and marty ruled in the parking lot

I know this is a troll thread but its hard to believe you don't mean what you say OP because you're dumb as dog poo poo.

If that's the case then might I recommend sticking to daytime cable TV shows such as Law & Order SVU or Chicago PD, those are more your speed.

God speed you middle-aged retarded troll.

Every southerner that I've talked to about that show says that Woody Harrelson nailed the portrayal of a blue-collar, middle-class, southern dad. Every single one of them said that he reminded them of their dad, or their uncle or whomever. None of them had ever met anyone like Rust Cohle.

maybe, i think its fair to say the last few episodes arent as strong as the first 5

but theyre still enjoyable so probably worth having
