Wait until you hear about Stan.

Does something happen to Stan? I have formed a strong connection to his character, and if something were to happen to him, I don't know if I would be able to process it.

This. For all Vince Vaughn's failings as a dramatic actor (and they are legion) he absolutely did the character as well is it could have been done within the constraints of the script.


lol no

VV torpedoed that character. It should have been the best part of the show but it got Vince Vaugned.

I just watched the first season last week for the first time and I enjoyed it.

I thought that the image of the galaxy-black-hole that Rust saw and/or hallucinated was poignant and it is has really stuck with me. At first I thought it was the end result of the crazy sacrifices that the redneck guy had made, like he had created some sort of portal into hell or something. But the more I thought about it, I think it was Rust's vision of his daughter in the afterlife, or at least the gateway into the afterlife.

I watched that 6 minute one shot scene on YouTube which was pretty cool. I was going to start watching the show after that but the dialogue after they got into the car killed it for me.

You can tell a show is bad when its possible to remove a main character without affecting the story whatsoever. For instance gay bike cop, if you removed him from the story then literally nothing would change except for how they find the body, which was a retarded coincidence anyway.

Yeah you could tell it was going to be poo poo based on the first episode. All the clues were there. Compare to first episode of season 1 and it's just completely night and day. loving idiot nicky pizzas.

Velk and Frank should have been the only two and Frank should have been played by an actor instead of that guy who played him.

Season 2 was a normal TV cop show, but instead of music they banged pots together or something in a vain attempt to capture the atmosphere of season 1. Oh and they violated the cardinal rule "show don't tell."

I'll watch season 3 though.. season 1 couldn't have been dumb luck, could it?
