Lyla Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Nic Pizzolatto is not related to the success of the first season that much imho. Characters or story wasn't so much better than now... McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, nice pictures, atmosphere and editing made last season great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Season one was fun because of the McConaissance, Fukunaga's excellent directing and the fact that we hadn't yet figured out that all of the mysticism would lead absolutely nowhere.

Lyla Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 ^^Yeah. The last episode of the first season was a total failure. It fits to the second season more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCouture Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 ^ The last episode of the first season totally ruin the whole season. It was so lame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The sad thing is that the bare bones of the season could have made for a decent TV show: a dirty cop and a criminal are tied together by a lie and find themselves (separately but at the same time) confronted by institutional evil that will force them to either bend or break. But Nic Pizz turned it into a needlessly complex and at times staggeringly boring spectacle.

Michael* Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 On balance, I think a higher level could have been reached had it been pared down to six episodes instead of eight, to keep it moving at a better pace. The finale was a perfect example of that, the first ten minutes were pure padding and indulgent soul-searching, which brought the narrative to a complete standstill. Overall, Pizzolatto was probably hampered by his own ambitions. It reminded me at times of reading a potentially good novel, but one in desperate need of a decent editor. Â Positives for me were the music, the sense of place and the acting too, for the most part. Vaughn was devoid of subtlety, but both Farrell and McAdams impressed me. Although I was disappointed that Ani was reduced to the role of a doting girlfriend when up to that point, she'd been as much a part of the action as anyone.

SympathysSilhouette Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I actually thought they underused Los Angeles as a location. So much of it took place indoors, in dark rooms/bars. Louisiana was really one of the characters in season one. This was far less so for season two.

Michael* Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 It would seem that some progress has been made behind the scenes towards creating a third season of TD, with McConaughey reportedly offering to reprise his role. Honestly, I don't know if seeing the further adventures of Rust would appeal to me that much, but it should be interesting to see what their preferred direction is.

Limerlight Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I watched about half of the first episode and was bored, not much to go on I know I'll have to go back and watch more at a later time. Â Back log of movies/TV shows to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 David Milch being added to the creative team is one of the best things to have happened to this show. If he gets enough creative control for season 3, it might end up being the best season yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early reviews look positive, and Mahershala is always good (of course, the story still needs to be good). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Given that a few years have passed now since the last season, I have high hopes for this one. The most compelling thing about the first season for me was the toll taken on the people investigating the case, and it looks like they might be returning to that theme.
