True Detective

[Vantage]

I really enjoyed the first season. Watched it straight one weekend after it was recommended by a mate. Actually at the time i was reluctant considering McConUghey as he only did girly films. Soon realised after that he's decided to take things in a Oscar ambitius way. Between him and Woody it was a really gripping thriller.

I was discussing season two with my wife and the fact that Colin Farell and Vince Voughn are the new true detectives. We looked at their Imdb history and i must say they don't have a great CV for this type of series. Saying that i loved Colin in phone booth and total reckal. Lol. And Vaughn in all those Christmas films lololollol.

Personally i would have employed Jim Carey as a detective only because i think he's a superb actor stuck in a crap actors body and could do with a new lease of life

Roll on June when its realesed. [emoji3]

Can't agree about Carey....awful.
I'll give series 2 a look, but not expecting miracles from Vince Vaughan.

He was good in Mr majestic and the voice in A Christmas Carol.

The trailer for series 2 is out just in case you didn't see it:

The first season I thought we were going to be treated to another wooden performance from Matthew Mahogany but he was excellent.

Watched the first three episodes but found it so slow I struggled to have any interest in it so stopped watching it. Feel like each episode was about 30 minutes too long

Harrelson on the other hand was very woody

Harrelson on the other hand was very woody

Very good It was actually worth persisting with until the end although it could have been trimmed down considerably.

I watched the first series and thought it was good although in parts I found the mumbling drawling American accents pretty impossible to understand. I felt like shouting Annunciate for God sake!

I hadn't realised that the next series would have different detectives but I'll still give it a go. Maybe they'll speak more clearly

If anyone hasn't watched it already I'd recommend the 2014 TV series Fargo. Again could have done with trimming down but a good story.

 

[bertpalmer]

Yup another recommendation for Fargo. So so good.

Really enjoyed the first true detective. Absolutely brilliant.

 

[CanonDjango]

now fargo was great! I thought it was also perfectly paced

Loved it, cannot wait for the second season.

Well heavens, you need only travel to Essex....Birmingham or Merseyside to need to shout that!
