It was either that or Inner City Sumo.
Watched the laughably shite last couple of episodes of True Defective Series Poo.DB10GOONER wrote:True Detective season 2.Mixed bag, really.
Enjoyed Colin Farrell's character, seems to have some depth and is on that morally ambiguous line between good and bad. He's playing it ok too. And I usually HATE him as an actor.![]()
Vince Vaughan didn't ruin it the way I thought he would. But let's be honest, he ain't no serious actor.
Rachel McAdam's character is absolute shite. Cheaply written clichéd tough-female-cop-with-family-problems type character. Insults my intelligence.Hope she dies in the next episode!

The disturbed war veteran bike cop? Who cares. Another cheaply written cliché.![]()
I'll stick with it because the first series was awesome. But it's not looking great. just ok.

It suffers from being too long; which a lot of recent television dramas do. That's what the original does well; all three series together are shorter than one season of the newer version.
Jenny: is she the one who fucks Gump around for years and then dies of AIDS? I hate that film.
It was strange. I thought it ended on a weird note but then my missus told me they're doing more, which made a bit more sense.arseofacrow wrote:Season 3 I felt was a cop out and just a filler.officepest wrote:By far.Yankee_Gooner_Dandee wrote:HoC is good, but Season 1 was the best, then Season 2...not liking the trend.

I guessed already after a few episodes that all we're getting is filler cos they probably wanted to do more. Then it just looks cynical (doesn't everythingofficepest wrote:It was strange.

This may be the all time best first season of a show...ever. The writing, acting, concept, intelligent links to other classics. SO GOOD. 10/10
