    Favorite episode of the season so far. Had a very Lynch vibe to it. New director was great.

    Good, but it still drags in parts, and all the doom and gloom and angst can get overbearing

    The Good News/Bad News is that I watched the East Coast feed of True Detective--that aired just minutes after the U.S. Women won the Soccer World Cup. So, I'd just spent the past two hours screaming and cheering, and was in a really good mood...plus more than a little tired. So, I was pretty "accepting" of whatever I watched on TV for the next few hours.


    All of which explains my "forgiving" of episode 3 of True Detective, that started off by showing the viewer that last week's cliffhanger ending was a cheap fake-out. Buckshot in the shotgun! Please! Weak story narratives like this won't even get True Detective 2 nominated for any awards.


    Besides this, it's becoming clear that the story is really about the opposing "Good Guys"--and whom will succeed in proving the other Good Guy corrupt. Will it be Ani who manages to catch Ray? Or Paul, who catches the City officials (and Ray? Ani?) in some cover-up or corruption? The Chinatown-like murder of the City Manager is hardly registering in this slo-mo series; with Vince Vaughn's Frank seemingly the only person who really cares about the murder.


    Speaking of Vince/Frank: his brutal beating of the Latino gang boss is apparently meant to show that Frank is being thrust back down into the "lower class" of the corruption pecking-order because he's being challenged by low-lifes--and that he now does his own enforcing. The real Higher Ups, who live in Beverly Hills or travel to Vegas to make Big Deals, are clearly beyond this type of direct action: they have henchmen who do it for them. And Frank has just lost one of his henchmen as a result of yet another murder.


    Bottom line: there are a lot of threads in play here, and I'm pretty sure there will be some type of "resolution" that's meant to give us an "A-ha" moment. But, clearly, at the almost halfway point, Season 2 of True Detective is looking very much like a major letdown.

    Is it just me or is Vince Vaughans character not well written and dragging the storyline? On the plus I'm liking the progress that everyone else's story is making. His I'm just not feeling and it will be his character that connects the dots to what the whole storyline revolves around which isn't a good sign. Maybe it will get better and I'm being to picky!!

    This season is not awful but right now I am having trouble not disliking more than I am liking.

    I thought it was a really interesting episode. Still had its flaws, but the opening sequence was the most intriguing so far of the series. Also enjoyed the foot chase at the end.

    "We get the world we deserve."


    So Karma or Reciprocity it is!
    Just watched episodes 2 and 3 back to back and I have to say for not wanting to go to occult places, funky purgatory-like dreams and surviving those gun shot wounds seem to be teetering that magical realism line again..it was definitely surreal.


    There were some other things in passing, and in all honesty, I think I need to watch the episodes over again, but I am interested in whoever (Ray?) was talking about expansion conscience or consciousness and there were other bits of philosophical musing I found interesting, considering how hypocritical just about everyone is.


    Vince Vaughn's character must surely be based on that song, Relax by Frankie goes to Hollywood! The way he told the story about his dad looking him up in the basement, in the dark, and what he did to the rats truly hunting monologue. He proved to be quite a person to reckon with though...


    There are some things stylistically I like too, like how the characters keep talking about Casper's eyes being burned out and then we are introduced to his psychiatrist wearing sunglasses indoors. Or how Ani was telling Ray that if a guy if makes a wrong move on her, she would punch out all his teeth and then we have this guy Frank knows with gold teeth and Frank goes and cuts them out!


    It's the patrol cop (Taylor Kitch) that I am not sure about. His history with these "Black Desert Security" (did I get that right?) sounds disturbing and I can't figure out if he is secretly gay, but gets weird about it when approached in public or if he was forces to be with guys when he was in this soldier group and it's made him homophobic? I kind of thought at first he was the guy trying to hurt Ray, but It almost seems too easy.


    Anyways, even though it's a bit depressing, it's still really really good!

    I liked that his character finally showed some teeth behind all of that babble! But there seems to be theme about the past coming back to haunt these people and I'm curious if that is what is happening to Frank as well. Family (especially parents) and relationships also seem to be a bit more prevalent in season and I keep thinking it's interesting that the Russian guys tell him, 'hey we're not the mob/gangster', and we learn that Frank came from Chicago and considering what his father did to him, I wonder if his dad was involved with gangsters and/or if this all doesn't have to do with his dad directly and not just psychologically???

    I think he is gay but has problem with it, and that time in the army made him realise he was gay. In the first episode he was not able to have sex with his girlfirend and he had to take viagra, and in this episode he seemed interested in that male hooker guy in the club when he told that he had sex with women. But its HBO, so him being gay and simply having hard time admitting it is too easy...I think his mother touching him ina weird way in one of the previous episodes was a little bit disturbing, there is probably more to it too.

    this season is much better than the last one, more characters and more is happening. Last season was plain boring, especially the parts with matthew macconaughey cutting cans...

    I'm enjoying this season a lot so far, it just feels a bit more...cold than Season 1. And not in a good way, to me. In Season 1, part of the huge dynamic between Marty and Cohle was the fact that Marty became somewhat of a man for the audience to relate to (even though he had a lot of problems as well) to immerse ourselves n the story and to give us a real look at the situations and dialogue we were being presented with. When you watched a scene with Cohle and Marty driving, you were sitting in the backseat, and when you watch Paul and Ani in a car, you feel like you're watching from afar. These characters are all interesting, but with the constant unravelling, complexity and the huge amounts of problems each one has, I find it hard to relate with any of them and the show ends up feeling kind of distant, at least that's how I feel.
