Well, of course I know him.
He's me.
Raised by Wolves also seems to have been the victim of that merger and the subsequent housecleaning, which Severance S2 obviously won’t have to deal with.

Hacks is very good but the last episode of season 2 would have been a fine finale so I'm conflicted.

I really hope Severance doesn’t pull a Raised By Wolves in S2 and goes so hard that it loses the audience, leading to an early cancellation. Although it also feels like a show that will get worse and worse the longer it lasts.

The first season of Severance feels like a season cut in half, so I don't think we need to worry about that until season 3. (if there even is one).

Apparently they have a plan that involved the end of season 2 being the halfway point of the story they want to tell, but they wrote it in a way that it could be the series finale if they need it to be.

How does it stack up against the 3 TD seasons?

Yeah I really liked it. It's pretty liberal with the "based on a true story" label (the book is based on interviews with the killers, Garfield's character is made up). But man, crazy hosed up religious stories are my heroin

Do not speak of the 3 true detective seasons as though they are one show. There was True Detective season 1, aka the best season of television ever made… True Detective season 2, a dumpster fire… and True Detective season 3, a somewhat decent show.

It's pretty dope.
There's a good deal wrong with S2 but it also vibed with me. There was really no hope to be found in that awful, sleazy world. It was suffocating.

The mayor character was awful, with some of the worst drunk acting I've ever seen. He had way too many scenes.

TD S2 is one of those things that seemed fine at first and then the second half is so bad that I can't even remember what I liked about it in the first place

The scene where hes uploading a goodbye message to his fat ginger son then it stalls out at 98% and doesn't send almost felt like a parody of lovely grimdark television shows

True detective season 1 was stylish as hell with a great cast, but I wouldn't put it anywhere near one of the best seasons of TV ever.

The only episode of S2 TD I like or remember was when they went into some drug or party house. It was at least stylishly shot.

And of course the brass knuckles scene which is its own thing.

A little disrespect and rudeness can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day
There’s a scene in one of the first few episodes of TD s2 where Vince Vaughn says the word “apoplectic” and that’s when I checked out on both him and the show. S1 is definitely an all time best for me.

I never watched 3 but 2 was definitely a vibe. Yes 1 was better I'm not saying that, I liked the Vernon setting a lot

I actually like season 2 of TD, but I still say Under the Banner is better. And I'm specifically saying Under the Banner is a better season of True Detective, it fits the mold better.

The Ghost Realtor episode is the best and has so many amazing parts, but the gas station dude talking about drinking his grandson's piss is the high point of the series. You think the episode's over, but wait, here's this completely bizarre out of left field moment to cap it all off.
