Here is some more information about Season 2 of True Detective. I don't believe character names are spoiler worthy, but I don't post here often, so I'll redact the rest.

Colin Farrell will play detective Ray Velcoro.
Vince Vaughn is playing criminal Frank Semyon, a “career criminal [who's] in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner.”
Rachel McAdams is detective Ani Bezzerides.
Taylor Kitsch is war vet and motorcycle highway patrol officer Paul Woodrugh.

Apparently it will involve "the secret occult history of the United States transportation system." according to Nic Pizzolatto

Could have been worse, but that circle shot where they zoomed in on each of the three protagonists was some terrible loving television.

I thought it was pretty good except for that scene yeah, that was pretty corny.

Anyone else notice they snuck in Woody and McConaughey into the intro?

I was a bit confused at first, but a re-watch clarified the few confusing things and also changed my opinion from "eh it was ok" to "that was good."

]Are there really that many huge Lovecraft dorks who are too dense to see the supernatural motifs in this episode writing television criticism? Did they actually fall into the trap of being seduced by Rustisms when the entire point was that his philosophy was some combination of wrong and dangerous that he used to wallow in his personal pain and overcame slightly at the end? Idk man

Absolutely, especially on this forum, a lot of nerds are still sore about it not being Cthulu behind the mask.

as the credits rolled on True Detective Season 2 Premiere, I let my body try and determine what I would think of the episode. I stared at the screen, and from deep within my belly a great descriptive force welled up and overtook me. It was the most powerful of "mehs"

I like the insane bar with scar woman and brooding singer

I'm starting to think they're going to include it in every episode, with the same musician singing a similarly depressing song, as some sort of unreal greek chorus setting.

Next episode starts with the masked man looking down at Ray and the ground. He pats his pockets like he's going for smokes, sags, then breaks out an e-cig. He lifts the mask up to take a drag, then drawls, "Your stomach is a flat circle, Ray." Velcoro looks back up and rasps, "Fukken robot dicksucker"

The masked man replies, "No Ray, I like to think of myself as a realist. I have been to Carcosa and I know who I am. Do you know who you are, Ray?"

Velcoro just looks baffled. And in pain. 'Cos he just got loving shot like point blank. "I dunno what the gently caress you're on about." The figure takes another drag and responds, "True, detective", then walks out humming a familiar refrain.

and the goon chorus moans in unison a powerful meh

also i appreciate this thread descending into The Worst once again, however instead of being due to nerdy overanalysis its very serious television viewers rushing over each other to declare the show terrible
