A lot of people basing theories on meaningful looks in this thread. Maybe the so called meaningful looks were actually the actors looking at each other in disbelief at the poxy dialogue they had to sell.

Ah Bernie why are you throwing this season under the bus now?
Did you lose your heart for it somewhere along the way?

I’m only talking shit. I still liked it although I was disappointed with the finale when the three previous episodes were so good.
Aaaaah. Hopefully they go back to the one director format if they do more.

Yeah would like to see Jim Mickle take it on
I don't know him. I had never heard of Fukanaga before season one either so....

He’s a young director who works mainly in the horror and crime genres. His last film was Cold in July, which was an 80’s set crime flick influenced by stuff like Blood Simple, Cape Fear, Red Rock West, The Hot Spot. He’s good with genre stuff.
Cold in July (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seen all those movies but Red Rock West. Must check it out!

Red Rock West is a terrific neo-noir with Nic Cage and Dennis Hopper on top form

So should we all start watching Aquarius now that True Detective is finished?

Heard it's shite.
Why don't we make a recommended movie watch list based on True Detective 2? Or just list a bunch of noir's to check out. Or something?

I've seen the ones in bold. Have James Woods movie Cop to watch, might do that this evening. Saw an Ed Harris/Benicio Del toro movie recently - China Moon I think it was called, was quite alright. Also saw some of a Roy Scheider neo noir, Night Game. Again was ok, not great but had a few good things going for it, although only saw half of that though.
I'm gonna throw Fletch in there. Watched it recently while eating my dinner and fucking loved it despite not being wild on it in the past.
Old noir:
Dark Passage
Kiss Me Deadly
Neo:
Cutter's Way - although like Night Moves it kind of lost me in the middle.
LA Confidential - stating the obvious
After Dark My Sweet

Cutter’s Way is a real gem of a film. Didn’t put LA Confidential on there because I assumed anyone who likes films has seen it. Same with Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive etc.
Blue Ruin is another good recent one.

I have it set to record but the ads looked a bit shit.
Marshland is hilarious.
"SWEAR TO GOD IT'S A COINCIDENCE IT'S THE VERY SAME STORY AS TRUE DETECTIVE 1"
although I preferred it meself

Shit I was thinking about putting At Close Range and a few De Palmas down but wasn't sure if they were noir's or thrillers. FUck it. Thriller/Noir what's the difference?
Good paranoid movies:
Dr. Strangelove
8 Days in May
All The Presidents Men
Parralax View
Zodiac
