Seems up in the air at the moment. HBO representatives have hemmed and hawed to the press in a very noncommittal way about how they'd love to bring it back, every time with a clear subtext of "But we aren't keen on giving Pizzolatto free reign as writer and producer again." Pizzolatto, meanwhile, recently revealed that he's got two scripts ready for a potential third season - scripts that David Milch had a hand in writing. He would be a part of the show's creative team going forward. I thought season 2 was fine for what it was: a pulpy, kinda trashy crime drama. Certainly not as good as season 1 (Too many protagonists, which in turn produced an unfocused narrative,) but entertaining enough.

This is heresy but I haven't seen Season One of TD. I enjoyed Season Two, though.

Seriously, check that poo poo out ASAP, great stuff. If you actually liked Season 2  It's really akin to saying 'Man, Batman and Robin was SO good! It was the fourth one? I should probably watch the first one then."

That's sort of based on the idea that most people dragged themselves to their couches to watch S2 because S1 was so good and ended up being incredibly dissapointed. My point is that you're very lucky. Season 1 of True Detective is truly special and I'm envious that you get to enjoy it fresh from the jump.

I assumed he was one of the college kids that jumped I think I read in the books he watched a couple jump, but those scars. Anyway, it was never referenced again outside the pilot

Nora was on the phone with a couple of DID guys earlier this season and after she was done asking for more leeway in pursuing the departure scam in Australia, one of them says to the other "well looks like she's going". I always thought there was some significance to that which wasn't made immediately apparent. But instead nora retired to raise birds and we never heard from them again. Did i read that scene wrong? I'm not in a position to rewatch so I can't say for sure.

Man, Carrie Coon really deserves so much recognition for Nora. Most of the time we got to see hardened, angry Nora who lost everything in The Departure, which works and is great, but when she smiles...god, that smile, you see the gentle, kind, vulnerable person and it's just fantastic.

I watched the pilot for the first time the night the series finale aired, and now I'm here. I thought it was all very good. I read the entire thread and whoever said Liv Tyler is a bad actress is out of their fuckin' mind. I got a little impatient in the final season when it got closer to the end and it seemed there wasn't enough room left for the show to wrap up. Lindelof proposed Tommy/Jill and John Murphy focus episodes in one of the interviews, and I wish we could have seen them. Again, all nitpicking, great show.

Liv Tyler is a perfectly fine actress but she is on the same show as Carrie Coon and Ann Dowd who are on another level.

I rewatched the end of the series again, and I have to say, The Most Powerful Man In The World (And His Twin Brother) is basically a perfect finale. If the show ended there I would have been very happy. I liked that it wasn't the finale, though. A lot of the show revolves around moving on, or not moving on. Coming back to Nora, who thinks she's moved on, and Kevin, who knows he hasn't, and closing out their story on a hopeful note was perfect. The show kept the mystery of the Departure intact while giving a plausible and satisfying answer at the same time, and it did the same for Kevin and Nora. I really appreciated how well put together it all was.Niwrad posted:Liv Tyler is a perfectly fine actress but she is on the same show as Carrie Coon and Ann Dowd who are on another level. I think she got better when she stopped trying to understand Meg as a character and just did the scenes as written (as per some interview somewhere). Meg is such a hosed up human being that I don't think she knew why she was doing what she was doing most of the time, and I think that once Tyler embraced that it worked a lot better. E: I can also understand why people would be so certain Laurie killed herself, but really, when I first saw the episode I wasn't sure she did. The intro has her making an attempt and backing out at the last second because of a conversation right before. Once she picked up the phone and talked to her kids I didn't think she was going to go through with it. Ugly In The Morning fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Jun 15, 2017 |

My fan theory for Jill is that she unexpectedly encounters one of the twins from the first season at university and they get married, similar to the ending of the book

Finally finished it all. Favorite moment this season was Matts line (and the scene itself) when God tried to run from the cops and is eaten by the lion: "that's the guy I was telling you about!"  Thought Kevin's death sequence was way better last season but still extremely interesting. Also saw some comments on a weak episode with Sr. and agree completely. Also am so glad we are told about the other side. The hostile Russian doctor didn't make sense or add to the transport tech scenes to me, kinda odd. Overall glad I stuck with the series until the end. Not amazing all the time but amazing at times.

Hey I know this derail is from a while back but I got around to watching John from Cincinnati the other day and couldn't believe it was greenlit, let alone given a whole season. Deadwood was amazing, but JfC had dialogue like that which no human has ever spoken, it was like aliens imitating an HBO show. That doesn't make me feel so confident about Season 3

The Leftovers novel came in at the library, I'm looking forward to reading it! Having just read the prologue as an appetizer while I finish another novel, the actress and writers really seemed to capture Laurie's tone pre-GR

Having just read the prologue as an appetizer while I finish another novel, the actress and writers really seemed to capture Laurie's tone pre-GR I found the hardcover, new. for only a dollar the other day and also just started it. So far I'm put off by how prosaic the writing is, though, and how little it shows instead of telling. Based on the show I expected a style more like Don Delillo. Interesting to see the differences from the pilot, though.

I liked the novel (And the straightforward nature of Perrotta's writing,) but thinking back on I believe you're right in that a lot of the "plot" happens in recollections. Lots of little character sketches, showing how they are operating in the moment, rather than active protagonists advancing their own stories.

Every interview I've read with Perrotta makes it seem like he didn't like the ending very much and really wants people to lean towards the Lying option

It's pretty fun that the two creators both so clearly believe opposite things about the ending. For me personally it makes its ambiguous nature even more effective and satisfying.

Lindelof's post-Leftovers project will be adapting the graphic novel Watchmen (previously adapted as a movie by Zack Snyder) as a TV series for HBO.

The movie was good but I wouldn't mind a miniseries that gives the story more time like it deserves. Of course I do think Watchmen shouldn't really be hosed with ever as it's basically objectively impossible to top the original but I'll watch whatever Lindelof gets up to.
