I AM GRANDO posted:What really galls me about this, aside from someone having to compromise the story she wants to tell, is that from hbo’s point of view, they were right to make her put that poo poo in there because it has been driving that kind of superficial marvel franchise attention. Has she said she had to compromise the story she wanted to tell?

I don't think this started out as anything other than a True Detective show. It's very much onbrand for the series. Characters hallucinating has been a thing since the beginning, so the silly ghost stuff isn't anything new. And there's no way it's going to be actual ghosts, the killer is gonna be a blend of mental trauma and country bumpkin just like season 1. It's that season 1 feeling they've been trying to recapture (poorly) this entire season. If this started off as a different show then they were right to rename it since it's very obviously a season 1 rebrand attempt. It's just not a very well written show, there's no need to make up excuses as to why.

joepinetree posted:We're not talking about speculation and what people think. Oof, well I can't speak to the quality of the original piece she had presented but what we got isn't very good and it being a retread of season one just cold instead of hot hasn't really worked. Say what you will about season 1, but its characters were way more memorable than this season's characters. And that includes a really silly "green eared spaghetti monster" killer being revealed as a bit character given literally 10 seconds of screen time before the final episode. Maybe it'll turn completely around in the next two episodes and stick the landing.

I wouldn't mind any of those happening. They won't because those are pretty well thought out and interesting story beats, but any of them could work. Also I enjoyed reading your write up.

Reboot/fusion of The Odd Couple/True Detective Season 1 is currently underway! There's a script that was originally meant as a Seth Rogan/Jeremy Piven buddy cop movie that can readily be turned into a 12 episode series!

Tender Bender posted:I hear you and don't really disagree on that point. I think this is a product of this conversation spinning off from my initially replying to a different poster (who was, originally, replying to someone other than me). Multiple arguments/discussion points getting swirled together. As a thread, I think we should leave a rock with a swirl drawn on it to warn passerby posters away from falling into the disagreement.

nwin posted:I haven’t started watching this yet and I’m not sure if the season is finished quite yet, but is this season good? I’m not expecting season 1 levels of greatness, but better than 2 and 3? Can I answer this after the finale? There's pacing issues at the very least, but if they nail the final episode I could forgive a lot. I'm starting to notice shows being edited for binge watching more and more, so it could be one of those situations. The music isn't as bad as the thread makes it out to be. I don't necessarily think it's fitting for the setting, but eh.

Gonna be honest, there wasn't enough good in this season for me to even be curious about what the original script was. I think the show runner got a huge gimme with being able to claim a bunch of suits messed up the script, because the bones of the story seem pretty dire to me as well.

Yeah, I had high hopes for this season but I think I can finally just write off the series.

Asgerd posted:Watching s2 for the first time right now and I have to say it… kind of sucks? I was halfway through the mid-season shootout when I realised I wasn’t feeling any tension or excitement because I just didn’t give a poo poo about the underlying mystery. I guess they’re after some bald guy who maybe knows something about whatever’s going on? Dunno, I’m starting to think goons lied and this season doesn’t Own Actually Yeah, it sucks. Colin Farrell’s character is sometimes interesting but overall the entire thing is forgettable at best.
