How do youz view season 1 and 2 these days?
Leaving aside the pointless shouting matches with @washingcattle (RIP to that snowflake) my issue with this show has always been that it took its own mystical bullshit at face value.
Like, not the characters took it seriously (which I'm actually a fan of in this world of all irony all the time) but that the show itself believed its own hype right from the start. It lorded around like it was a Beckett play and not just Tarantino style pulpy fun, i.e. shot beautifully and full to the brim with nods to more clever things without actually attempting to address the same issues.
I think he meant what do you think of the seasons retrospectively?I watched them on Sky so I think they're still on box set there if you're a subscriber. If not, I'm sure you can get them from the library on DVD. I never stream/torrent so can't help you there!
Ha, oops! A bit too literal-minded there.I think he meant what do you think of the seasons retrospectively?
Writer/director Nic Pizzolatto said the landscape of the Ozark Mountains "embodies certain journeys" that the show's characters take.
"The mystery of the deep woods. The fog over the mountains. The rivers. The water. The sense of scale when you get out to some of this nature. Also, what the buildings say about the lives behind them," Pizzolato said. "So I feel like people will see it as an extension of character, something that embodies characters' emotional journeys while influencing those journeys."
A "media day" was held Monday afternoon for True Detective at Tugboat's Place, a restaurant 10 miles north of Huntsville. The crew was filming nearby.
"The third installment of the drama series tells the story of a macabre crime in the heart of the Ozarks, a mystery that deepens over decades and plays out in three separate time periods," according to the media day announcement from the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.
cool, feel like watching it again now.Ha, oops! A bit too literal-minded there.
I haven’t watched S2 since it aired but I’ve been meaning to go back to it. I liked it at the time but it felt very one dimensional compared to the first season.
Personally, I think season one is incredible. I am currently trapped under a sleepy baby so typing is difficult but briefly I think all the weirdness and the allusions to horror, supernatural, ritual, etc. is all a big smokescreen for the mind bending evil of the pedophile underground (both in the show and in real life). There are loads of references to The King in Yellow, a collection of short stories revolving around a play set in a land called Carcosa. The idea is that act one of this play draws you in and act two unveils such horror as to send you insane (but you only get quotes and short passages from the play to tantalise you as a real-life reader). In True Detective, the play is replaced by the video that we never see but that is so terrible that it shakes them to their foundations (more so than even a baby in a microwave). The whole show is about the inescapable horror of this world and how we are all just a hair’s breadth from going over the edge. That scene with the video comes to mind whenever I read about police uncovering systematic abuse or online rings, how those officers must see the very worst humanity has to offer and it is nothing we can (and would want to) imagine.
So wrongAh come on lads, let's be honest. S2 was shite.
All true but Vince unfortunately wasn't the only one, the plot was ponderous and it played out laughably.vince vaughn was shite. the farreller and rachel mcadams were glorious
