Popular Post Ingram85 Posted April 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) Bit late to the party with this but True Detective s1. An absolute masterclass from start to finish. I think it could possibly be one of the greatest series of anything of all time. Everything was perfect. The atmosphere created throughout was so deep. That seven minute one take in the ghetto houses was sublime. Just an immensely enjoyable eight episodes of TV. 10/10. s2 I've been told disappoints massively with the new characters/story/setting.

I am one of the few that enjoyed it. Just don't think of it as season 2 at all and you'll be fine. It's basicaly a completely different show, (Cast is different, location is different, plot is different) anyway so treat it for what it is, A more than enjoyable 8 hour police drama with good performances from Colin Farrell & Rachel McAdams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Season 2 has excellent set pieces and some really, really boring connective tissue, but it's not as bad as it's made out to be (while still not being good, exactly). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 25, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2017 I enjoyed S2 but it isn't a patch on season 1. It tries to be way too clever for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted April 26, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2017 Has anyone watched more than 2 episodes of marvels 'Iron fist'? After 2 episodes I can't imagine watching another. Its really bad, like terrible. I'm struggling to see the association with marvel. Its almost like they gave the show the go ahead but didn't watch any scenes before allowing it to go to air. If someone out there can vouch for the show I will persevere. If not you'll find me in 'what are you reading' thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Iron Fist was... ok. Alot of the negativity towards Iron Fist might be due to it being compared to DD and JJ. I endured through IF because of the closure needed when Defenders comes out later in the year, when all those characters come together to fight Ripley. Hoping very much it doesn't suck.

AJ Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have really enjoyed the first two seasons of Better Call Saul, but I am holding off from watching any of the third season just yet. I hated waiting for the next episode, so when the series is finished its course, I will binge watch the shit out of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd place it below both series of Daredevil and Jessica Jones, but it's better than Luke Cage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how many properly serious serial murderers/terrorists are committing these crimes all the **** time. But also very convenient of them to do it one after the other with no overlap Luckily Luther guesses everything right all the time, so it's all fine. From a timeline 'no overlap' point of view, I tend to just think that he's not the entire police force and that other murders may be getting dealt with by other police, and that we're just seeing the 'Luther' timeline. When you think about it, that's much less ridiculous than Luther being a one-man police force. As for his flat. I just had it down as a visual example of the single-mindedness of a man who has prioritised his career over and above everything else in his life. Oh and what about Ruth Wilson Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell anyone who hasn't seen them, to watch S2 first. That way, you watch a half decent one, followed by a serious touch of greatness and there's no disappointment!

So did season one but McConnaughey and Harrelson and the dirty south setting made up for it and then some. The writing on that show is some of the most unnatural, pretentious twaddle you're ever likely to hear, but season one still worked well. Season two has no saving grace. None of the actors shone (Rachel McAdams is particularly awful), it's a dreadfully dull storyline and the setting is hollow and characterless. Personally think the creator got insanely lucky with season one and was found out on season two. Edited April 26, 2017 by Ginko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Well we are almost done with Chicago Fire & Chicago PD (couple episodes of each left) and Blacklist (2? left), in the meantime Grimm is filing the void, almost finished season 2. After that it'll be Chicago Justice, then Lucifer returns next week, then House of Cards season 5, then Ray Donovan returns. Will also have a look at Designated Survivor.
