True Detective

There's an awesome 6 minute take in the ending scenes of episode 4:

Takes me right back to Children of Men.

Good ep, I like the story telling of this show. Some say it drags too much but for me the pacing is all right.

[Phero]

Exactly, I'm never bored and I don't want it to end so there are zero pacing issues to me. The fact that there's only 4 eps left might play a role in that, I dunno.

The shootout scene was great, you really felt the intensity of the moment. Fucking love this show.

One of the best shows in recent memory. Just perfection.

An erection that lasted for 8 episodes.

Story will revolve around three cops and career criminal who navigate a web of conspiracy after a murder.

Farrell plays Ray Velcoro, a compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him. Vaughn plays Frank Semyon, a man in danger of losing his criminal empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner.

“Fast and Furious” helmer Justin Lin is on board to direct the first two episodes of the eight-episode season. Lensing is set to begin later this fall in California for a January premiere.

Series creator Nic Pizzolatto is again penning all eight episodes for the new season.

There’s still no word about additional cast members, which are expected to include a femme in the role of a police officer.

The drama surrounding the planning for the second installment of “True Detective” has reached feverish levels, even by HBO standards.

The success of the first series, which was buoyed by the star power of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, has set the bar high for season two.

Ugh
Woody and Matthew made season 1.
I doubt those 2 can do the same job, but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. Good to see it gets a 2nd season though

Hard to beat the first season when they cast these actors, but let's see...

I watched the 1st episode of season 2. Cant really say I liked it too much, but it was just an introduction episode tbh. It was slow, but season 1 was slow as well.
I liked Farrell, he plays a really screwed up cop. I dont think Vaughns role fitted him well. Cant watch him without thinking about all the crap movies he made.  Overall, its hard to beat McConaughey. The setting this season is imo less interesting. 
We'll see how it goes. Not gonna give up on it yet.
